XTS5000 shorter words?!

[JackRoberts23]

I have an XTS500 and if I want my local fire FG which is Elmont FG, the radio will only put in elmt FG. However, on the depts radios, it allows Elmont FG. Granted, those are 1500s but does that cause any difference?

It sounds like you Zone Text Length needs shortened in CPS. I don't have one in front of me right now but believe that to be the issue.

Ok thanks. I’ll see if I can find that in the CPS

It's in the Radio Wide, Display and Menu , and then General. You have a total of 14 characters and that total combined are shared between both the Zone and Channel characters. Ok, its early in the morning and I'm going off of memory which is subject to be slightly "Less than Accurate". I'll fire up the computer later today and check the CPS to see if I'm wrong or not.

According to the post above yours the issue has been resolved…but I could be wrong.

 

[JackRoberts23]

Yea that’s the right info except my CPS only let my radio go up to 12 charatcers

I'm definitely wrong on the 14 characters. Its 12 and it is 14 for the XTLs. I've been focused on the XTL5000s lately. Now, for the category names, I was in error there too, its "Radio Configuration", then the "Display and Menu", and you adjust your numbers in the "Text Configuration" box. Sorry for any confusion.

it’s all good. I got it figured out anyway
