The perils of affiliating are well known, as are the mass of problems that come with it. The xtl5000 does the type 2 and astro trunk NAS with no issue. The problem is the xtl2500, which has the proper flash-code, does work with type2 NAS, and p25 conventional, will not hear the system.
It was brought to a local that does the admin of a private system. Looked it over and bench tested it to no avail. It is an older model that was re banded. Said is could not talk or hear their system. Again, let me stress this, it was brought to the appropriate staff member. To the extent that when asked if they could swap it with a unit that was being dumped, they declined [didn't know that trashed stuff was destroyed, thought it was auctioned or recycled].
I hear it may be that the processor is not enough. Was told its too far down a rabbit hole on the tech end for the shop to look at. On a side note, it will scan the system in conventional.
Any ideas?
These units are used with properly licensed conventional frequencies in areas near highways and its less cumbersome to have a single unit in the trucks that's durable because they take a regular beating. They have wiped out some scanners but have yet to take out a W3 xtl5000, just a mic or 2. The xtl2500 is a better option for the supervisor trucks. Since there's not much to be done, the expense for an o5 xtl5000 is out, they don't need all the "bells and whistles", just a front display.
I do the installs and removals. And am somewhat knowledgeable in the mechanics of these so I'm the one doing the leg work.
