XTL2500 with transmit issues

[firetaz834]

Evening all:

Having and issue with an XTL2500 that I'm trying to utilize. Have the radio setup for P25 digital. When, I attempt to transmit, the red transmit light is lit but when I monitor the freuency, nothing is being heard. The unit is receiving transmissions without any issues. Another thing I noted when programming it. The softkeys are not showing to update when I change the order or adding any additional softkeys.

Is there a way to reset the unit to factory settings if needed.

Thank you in advance.

Just due to the age of the radio, when was the last time the XTL was tuned on a service monitor?
Most transmit issues are caused by them being out of tune.

As to the soft keys, what features are you trying to enable that you are not seeing?

The radio when I bought it was NIB condition and had not been programmed prior to my first programming. In regards to the softkeys, I was trying to change the order they were displayed in and it would not make the change.

How ancient a firmware is it running?

So when you make change in the menu page in CPS and save the code plug and write to radio it will not display the way you had them arranged cps?

Keep in mind that softkeys are (tied) applicable to the features of current mode (channel). However, of those softkeys that apply to the currently selected mode (channel), should appear in the order they were assigned.
