I'll let everyone in on a little secret.. Unlike the APX7000XE which uses a different housing shell then the standard APX7000, the APX6000 & APX6000XE use the same housing shell. The top control of the APX6000XE drops down a little on the sides to fill in the gap. So you can use the standard col...

I believe it's a CPS setting to disable the radio PTT when a mic or accessory is attached. All of my APX's TX from the side PTT no matter what accessory is attached.

Astro25 Portable CPS, current version is R20.01.00

-Marc

The codeplug structure was never updated on the last refresh.. There are a couple of things that will cause this problem. The first is that the radio was manually bootstrapped, and the firmware was loaded through the back door. The second is that someone used an old version of Depot floating around ...

H35 is conventional operation, H38 is SmartZone.

Try reloading the correct firmware .cvn

Sounds like it has Q52 & Q53 FPP in it.

-Marc

Rebanding was introduced in Firmware R07.00.00. How old is the firmware in your XTL?

R02.03 I think was the last release of CPS before it was discontinued.

-Marc

First 3 are specific to model series, next 3 are mfg date info, last 4 is the production number.

Start by updating the firmware. You're about 6 versions behind, and the early versions made certain features act weird or not function.

-Marc

Yup, that's all it takes. The XE's have different model numbers, but it doesn't change the way it functions.

-Marc

I would start with checking the fuse on the RF board first.

-Marc

My other question is would a 5000 with the Bravo processor have any advantage over a 5000 with the Ram processor if both radios had the newest FW? GARY Hey Gary, it would be transparent to the user. One is not faster than the other, or have any real advantages over each other. Pretty much early pro...

Judging by all of your APX FPP questions in the last few days, it doesn't sound like you have the CPS.. I would advise that you buy the CPS for the radio and read through the tutorials & help menus. While you can FPP the radio, there is a lot that you need the CPS for to initially set up.

-Marc

Yup, sure will.

Have you tried plugging in a different hhch or mic?

-Marc

The power up on last selected mode feature was introduced in Host R10. I assume you have R10 or higher firmware in the radio?

-Marc

A flashing dot after the Z scan symbol indicates priority channel 1. A solid dot after the Z scan symbol indicates priority channel 2. If the scan list is set up for selected channel as priority 1, then you can fix a second priority channel in the scan list, or set a button or menu item for dynamic ...

I'd like to conclude this thread with an apology for my dishonesty and gratitude for making me realize the severity of punishment that could of been as a result of my actions. I have defiantly learned my lesson, and shall only use my radios for conventional programming. Thank you guys, and take car...

That small dot you see next to the scan symbol indicates rx/tx on your priority channel.

-Marc

That's a good thing.. Just keep on them with issues, and keep up to date with things.. Programming bugs will eventually get worked out.. I'm still waiting on our "2nd Touch" programming which will add all of the new NW Central talkgroups.. I was hoping it would be done by the end of the ye...

I've found that most of the time, inexperienced programmers will produce answers like you originally got, or the old classic "No, that won't work" because blah, blah, blah.. When we took delivery of all of our APX equipment last year (XE portables & 7500 mobiles) which were programmed ...

What it really comes down to is this.. When you set up a scanlist as talkgroup scan, or multi-system scan in CPS for the sole reason of scanning trunked & conv channels, you lose the ability to have a priority channel.. So it's not that the radio will take too long to re-affiliate, it's a matter...

Why not do all the product tiering via the flash code ie. a basic analog XTL5000 upto a full featured P25 XTL5000. That's already an option.. You can order an XTL5000 bare bones analog only, or loaded to the hilt to suit the customers needs.. And, don't forget about the Astro25 portable side of thi...

When it comes down to it, the only real differences are the control head, and codeplug.

I just received information that board member Kotaguchi "KO" passed away last month. He was a well respected member of the radio community, and our forum. He will be missed.

-Marc

Here is a list of info that I've been compiling over the years.. I really need to update it, as it's about 5 revisions behind. It still covers alot of the "meat & potatoes" revisions though..

Please share what sort of problems you are having with everyone. You'll receive more help, and maybe someone else with similar problems can learn something as well.

-Marc

No FPP for the XTL's.. You can go with an APX mobile and have FPP if you want..

-Marc

There is also flash option H259 150 Mode Capability (Model I Only), which is probably what you were originally looking for..

-Marc

Yup, it's a flashcode option.. Same as on the MTS2000.. Option H260, 250 mode capability.

GP300 VHF 16 channel.. How times have changed..

You need flash option H14 ID Display in your flashcode for it to decode ID's..

-Marc

What firmware version is in the radio? There have been a couple releases over the years that caused the radio to not unmute to proper PL.

-Marc

Will wrote:Something about enabling EXPERT Mode in the CPS.

No such thing in Astro25 CPS..

-Marc

Start by checking the RF switch plunger on the side connector. When a PSM is attached, there is a pin that pushes the plunger in, transferring RF to the mic.. Maybe yours is stuck in, which does happen at times.. I would open the radio up, and test the switch to verify operation..

-Marc

Yup, you got it.. It's mainly the Q53 causing the conflict. Q52 plays nice with trunking in the radio, but Moto changed things up after R09, that dropped FPP from the menu items if you didn't have Q53 with it. So it basically turned into a double edged sword..

-Marc

FPP & Trunking in the same radio went by by after R09.. As it sits, you will only be able to use it as a conventional radio..

-Marc

It will do plain old conventional as is.. No need to downgrade anything..

-Marc

What version firmware is in the radio you are trying this new feature with? If it doesn't have R19.xx firmware to go along with the CPS, then regardless of what the CPS says, the radio won't know how to use the feature.

-Marc

Besides the controller, there is only one other board in the radio (Unless it has encryption), and that's the RF board.. You can re-use it.

Any of your XTS5000's happen to have firmware version R11.00.00 by chance?

Like I said, this is a normal function of them, and a reminder from the battery that says to you... "Hey, charge me, it's been a while and my fuel gauge went away" This is nothing new, nor an issue with your batteries. The IMPRES batteries have been functioning like this for years.. -Marc
