XTL TPT?

[APX8000user133]

Saw a video on facebook of a guy showing the TPT of an XTL 2500 and an APX 7000. And I was wondering how he even got that on the XTL?

XTL/XTS have always had TPT. Motorola radios well before this series have as well.

Maybe he was on a trunking system?

I'll check all of my various RSS and CPS applications and see how far back TPT is/was used. I believe TPT is only associated with PT-T ID MDC and/or DTMF Signalling and Trunking. Also, I will check and see if it was a box to check for non-PT-T MDC features and and Conventional systems.

Sorry I should have clarified, neither radio was on trunking.

TPT can also be used on a conventional repeater.

TPT can also be used on a conventional repeater.

How does that work? I thought that was only available on trunking or through the XTS FPP hack?

There's a way to make it work on XTL using DVRS. There's instructions online somewhere. For the APX, anything past firmware R31 allows a conventional P25 TPT on Motorola P25 repeaters.

What you are describing is on the XTS portable, not the mobile XTL. This is from the XTS help screen:

It's not a true TPT, but you can always check this in the Secure Advanced tab.

And this is from my XTL Codeplug:

It doesn't do what you think it does.

No idea what you sent there but it has nothing to do with what I'm talking about.

TPT hack works fine on my XTL so it's definitely possible...

I thought you needed FPP enabled in the flash in order for the DVRS trick to work.

 

[K2NEC]

Definitely no FPP in my XTL

 

[APX8000user133]

Definitely no FPP in my XTL

So, how?

Read This -> How to get TALK PERMIT TONES on your radio!

Well, now that I've got your attention, please read this entire post. :roll: What are talk permit tones? Talk Permit Tones are the three quick beeps (that sound like a "chirp") that Motorola radios seem to be famous for playing when a radio user keys up. Why are they there? What are they for...

2. The DVRS Method: This method only applies if the user is going to be using a Quantar P25 conventional repeater. In this method, the radio is tricked into thinking the repeater is really a Digital Vehicular Repeater System (DVRS), which it's not. When the radio is operating on a DVRS, it can play talk permit tones to tell the radio user that the DVRS is ready to receive communications. This method doesn't work if you are using an analog repeater or on simplex.

Was thinking the OP wasnt using a Quantar P25 conventional repeater and was just doing conventional simplex / a non P25 repeater. In which case if he was - this TPT DVRS trick wouldn’t work -unless you had FPP in the codeplug

OP was just asking how its possible on an XTL. There's ways, that one is the one I used.

Regarding XTL tpt, what about a GTR8k instead of Quantar? Just wondering.

I am about to update a small fleet of APX4k w/ fw 37 to allow tpt on a gtr8k. It has been tested, but apx is not xtl.
