XTL/XTS5000 XTS Priority Monitor Scan Not Working

[ASTRO_Man]

I am having an issue on a radio missing Priority #1 talkgroup transmissions when scan is turned on. Priority #1 is set to “Selected Channel”. When left on Dispatch (the selected priority, with the blinking dot) and scanning, other transmissions from other system talkgroups are heard but the radio will not hop back over anytime a Dispatch transmission happens like it is supposed to do. However, this DOES work for other talkgroups. If I moved my knob over to Channel 4 and have that as the Priority (has the blinking dot), the Priority scanning works flawlessly as it should with no missed transmissions. The issue here is the Priority Scan will never work on Dispatch (which is the 1st option in the channel assignment). Any other channel, it will work and transmissions are never missed.

Could anyone provide any insight? Thanks!

Try setting priority 1 to the dispatch channel instead of being selected channel

In order for Priority Monitor scan to work, the talkgroup(s) must be priority capable in the system itself. It's not enough for it to be flagged in the radio. If the low speed voice channel data doesn't announce when a particular talkgroup is active, the radio has absolutely no way to know about it while it's tuned to another transmission. You need to verify with the system administrator that your Dispatch talkgroup is priority enabled.

That’s the thought I was having. Thank you.
