XTS 3000 CPS Question

[N1SQB]

Ok, I got the hang of the CPS on my XTS 3000. I just have two small things that are getting on my nerve.

I am using CPS R05.03.00

1). I have two conventional zones set up. On zone two, the first channel keeps showing the talk around icon with the two sticks and the arrow pointing to the right between them. Thing is, all my personalities are receive-only mode.
NO other channel has this symbol on it. What am I missing?

2). How do I stop the rotary knob from triggering scan every time I change a channel?

Like I said, all my programming went fine and the radio reads and accepts data with no issues.

The 1st one, is probably because it was programmed with the RX and TX frequency before you made it RX only.

#2. Is it scanning every time you change the channel? Are you scanning before you change the channel? Not quite sure exactly what you mean.

You were right on the money! I reprogrammed it as a RX ONLY personality FIRST before putting in the rest of the parameters. Thanks. I did NOT have talk around selected for that channel. That was the first area I checked.

The other issue was it was scanning before I changed channels so THAT'S also done.

Thanks for your help. With 32 channels and all the parameters, I'm glad all I had was this one small issue. Phew....LOL

Good I'm glad I could help, I guess I was right before I edited my post, haha. I feel your pain though, my first moto was a 3k, and then I upgraded to a 2500 and a 5K, and then got rid of those and just went back to the 3K's and it's just a whole different programming software.

I have been moving up slowly. Started with the MT2000, then the MTS2000 , the HT 1250 then went up to the 1550xls, and now the 3K. Each one has its own little quirks. I like the 3K so far. Not a bad radio.
