XTS1500 Quick Call

[FF1033]

I’m wanting to program my XTS1500 to alert for Quick Call tones on our dispatch channel. I understand that I will have to create a separate personality to do this.

My question is, will I still be able to transmit MDC on this channel while having it set to alert for Quick Call? I’m not seeing any way to enable MDC to transmit in the personality when I have it set to receive QC.

Nope. It's either quick call or mdc. Option is to make a channel as page rx only for quick call, or quick call rx with capability to tx (no id obviously).

Then make your channel 2 the mdc perosnality.

You'd probably be better off setting the one channel as quick call 2, with tx capability which will have no mdc or id, or set it was page rx only then setting the next channel as your mdc tx rx channel.

Thank you very much. That’s what it looked like it had to be when I was looking at the personality settings, but I thought I had read somewhere that it could do both.

Thank you for answering my question!

I never tried it but I know the waris series, ht1250, 1550, cdm one could select the rx and the tx signalling seperate but I never thought of trying tx mdc, rx for qc2 tone.

I may just look at it later to see never crossed my mind.

Yeah it can definitely be done in the Waris series (that’s what I’m more familiar with). That’s how I have our department radios set up. I just started using an XTS about 6 or so months ago, and I haven’t learned the ins and outs of the software yet. As for the radio itself, I absolutely love it. Much more durable and reliable in my opinion than some of the newer stuff for what I use it for.
