XTS2500 Stuck in FPP

[ZacharYaakov]

Bought a couple used XTS2500's. I have a good knowledge of how to program my radios in CPS. However both radios came with over 94 conventional personalities across 6 zones that I am unable to delete, I learned that I am unable to delete them in CPS due to FPP being enabled. I am trying to figure out how to disable FPP in order to delete these channels and zones. I have both Astro CPS R20.01.00 and the equivalent version of Depot.

TLDR:

How do I disable FPP in order to delete conventional personalities, then re-enable FPP.

you don't, its a feature in the radio, and they came with one personality per channel. You have to set up each personality individually

Right but there are a ton of conventional personalities that I cannot delete through the CPS table across several zones. Would there be another reason why this would be occuring? In previous instances I've only seen one zone with FPP only channels standardly. I cannot use FPP to delete them either since the keypad is not working.

on my xts2500 codeplug I was able to disable FPP in the zone just now, and then I was able to add or delete channels and select a personality

How exactly were you able to do that? Did you use just CPS/Depot for that or?

 

[DougG]

If you go to the LAST FPP zone, and un-check the FPP option for that zone, you will then be able to delete the zone. Repeat until you have the number of FPP zones you want.

What firmware version is on the radio? I know some older ones forced you into 16 zones of FPP.

I believe those were the older “AN” radios. My “BN” 2500’s only have the first zone FPP. 19 personalities total in the radio.

I've come across it on a BN radio. One of my 2500s had host version 9 when I got it and wouldn't allow any FPP zones to be deleted. Service menu shows BN at the end of the model number.

Write a completely new non-FPP personality with that 'other' software and start from scratch. Newest FW for that radio is 20.50.10.

so should all the separate zones all have FPP-checked zone channel assignments?
