XTS3000 III Power Loop

[k9tsu]

Hi group,

I have a p25 xts3000 radio. When the radio is in scan mode and you either stop on, go from, or roll past channel 4 or 9, it turns off and back on. Even if you have 4 or 9 in a scan list and put scan "on," it boots off and back on.

I have tried different code plugs, different freqs, channel paramaters, zones, disabling the channel knob, etc. Still no luck. Any ideas?

Just a guess, but if those channels are trunked talk groups, the radio may be trying to transmit an affiliation ISW.

When an XTS power cycles on transmit, the problem is almost always bad battery or bad battery contacts.

Nope, good battery, no trunking

Just a thought, but I've seen this on XTS3000s and Astro Sabers with EEPROM issues. Read this post and thread for more information:

XTS3000 fail 01/82 cant recover

When did this issue begin? If out of the blue with no codeplug changes, that may be the source of the issue if you've ruled out the obvious (battery contacts, board interconnects, etc).

Maybe my codeplug is just screwed up? Anyone have a codeplug for it I could try? It's a VHF full keypad.
