Is there anyway to get the battery gauge to displaying the LCD? It appears during start-up/self-test but I can't get to appear after that. I have looked all through CPS and have found no solution.
Thanks.
Thanks.

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.
XTS3000 Battery Display

No, the XTS3000 doesn't use the battery gauge at all.
You'll need an ASTRO25 radio if you want a battery gauge.

This is not true. The battery "gauge" or icon is shown, flashing, when the low voltage limit is reached.
It is correct to say that it can't be set up to show battery life full-time.
I went through this several months ago and if I remember correctly you need an Impress battery for the battery icon to work. Also, if you charge an Impress battery in a non-Impress charger a few times, the icon will no longer work.
Impres battery or not, the battery guage will not show in an XTS3K. Has to be an XTS5K.
It will only flash when the battery is low in and XTS3K.

There was a firmware version 6.X.X something, the one that did P25 9600 baud trunking and it had the fuel guage.
We used to have some of these XTS3000, P25 radios but we upgraded most if not all of them to XTS5000's years ago and I doubt we have any lying around but If I do find one then I can program it up and take a picture of it.
