XTS5000 RADIO WITH FRONT PANEL PROGRAMMING (FPP) FEATURE

[ecps92]

ecps92, did my comment offend you lol

Yes

Programming a radio for illegal frequencies, just because someone says (Not Simon) and not having proper authorization, never mind likely not even a compliant radio for FRS, GMRS, MURS etc

heres what I can say, program the **** you need, and have FPP enabled so IF you need to edit a perimeter you can, for ex, your hiking with a group of whackers, they have there apx8000 and they say to use 167.855. you dont have that !!!

What did I just read?

10,000 personalities in Astro CPS?

So if it wasn't serious, and we're not as fast as you are...why are you here?

The XTS5000 doesn't have geofencing so I'm not sure what perimeter you're editing?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say @AES-256-Encryption meant "parameter".

 

[mikewazowski]

Ya think?

Haha, it's a narrow limb!

I own 1 apx with FPP and i will say it is **** compared to XTS because you CANT! i mean cant add channels, but in astro CPS you get 10000 personalities, apx is far deferent and you can have every other zone have fpp or not, and you dont need 10000 personalities. if you wanna see apx fpp theres videos, maybe ill send some pics in a minute

after reviewing this, i think i had a ****ing stroke. im so re arded so please just act like i never said this lol

While I don't usually carry a laptop around, if I travel, I do bring a laptop and my cables for what ever radio I'm bringing with me. I use to travel quite extensively, if I had enough notice, and I was going somewhere new, I would research and preprogram my mobile and portable. I'd still take my laptop and cables incase I needed to add anything I missed.

I don't travel as much any more, but still, I've never missed having FPP capability in my radios.

FPP is nice to have but at the same time I don't like the restrictions imposed by having FPP enabled on an Astro25 radio. It's a real pain to import any data from a non-FPP codeplug, you're forced to have 16 channels per zone and 16 personalities with that, FPP zones need to be consecutive, and it's hard to rearrange things within a zone, plus you can't make an imported non-FPP zone to have FPP. I have an XTS4000 (5000 shoved in a Nextel x RAZR case with an O3 display and 2 watts) and the FPP on that is absolutely horrendous. Everything is in cycles. It is really half baked. I ended up dropping it for trunking.

I would love to have FPP that would allow you to do just that without parameter restrictions on everything else, but that's not how it works. I end up bringing my laptop with me if I travel to program anything I might have missed or transposed.
