• To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:

    Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.

    If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.

    To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.

    The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.

    For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).

    This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

Does anyone know if it is possible to scan more than 16 chanels at the time on the XTS-3000 and XTS-5000?

Thanks for your help!

There's a hack out on batlabs for the Astro series (not the ASTRO25 series) which does increase the scan lists marginally.

I believe talkgroup scan is increased from 10 to 16.

Can't remember what conventional scan is increased to.

It requires some hacking of the RSS/CPS.

Conventional Only: 15+1 scan list members
Talkgroup: 10+1 scan list members
Mixed: 10+1 scan list members

It should also be noted that when talkgroups from two different systems are placed in the same scan list you can no longer have a priority scan list member.

The 'hack' allows you to increase the number of talkgroup and mixed list members to 15+1.
