xts5000 another issue

[scubacop]

I just read my xts5000 I with my cps ver 15. I have used this computer and program to, program my radio. Anyway, tonight I wanted to add some freq's to my radio, when I opened up the personality page to add channels I found each freq box blank and the square was outlined in red. any suggestions?

You may have accidently hidden the info - Right click the area with the missing data and click UNHIDE ALL COLUMNS

Its there on the screen, the column in present, there is just no data on the screen and those boxes are outlined in red......I'll try your suggestion though, thanks

It would not be a hidden column then, if that was the case the entire space would be blank - no red boxes. Did you accidently delete a personality that was tied to the zone you are looking at?

When you see a red box, either the information the radio is looking for is not there, or it's incorrect. Up at the very top of the screen, there is a selection on the menu that lets you display everything that may be wrong before you save the codeplug to the radio. Forget exactly where the selection is, because I don't normally use it. Plus the software should not allow you to save the information to the radio when it's been flagged as bad.

The place where the programmed faults are listed is under the VIEW tab, then click on INVALID FIELDS.

Be sure you haven't inadvertently checked "Enable channel picklist" in the View Options page.

(This limits frequencies to those contained in a designated picklist, which now becomes a drop down menu.)

If an empty box is outlined in read, it's expecting some sort of input.

Until you enter the proper value, it's considered an invalid field.

It has nothing to do with hiding or resizing columns.

Try selecting Invalid Fields from the menus to get a better idea of what input the box is expecting.

If the box is for a field that you aren't using, then you've inadvertently enabled something that's caused that field to expect an input.

What does it say in the column heading above the box?

yep, had this same thing happen. RKG is correct.
