Question for someone here on the board..
I have a xts3000 radio for my work that was issued to me, I was told if the radio was missing or "stolen" the communications center could remotely over the air shut the radio down. is the radio shut down via the Serial number of the radio or the radio Number that is programmed into to durring RSS programming?
Thanks all...

- What radios do you own?: FPP 6 meter XTL 5K's
If the radio doesn't affiliate, the control channel won't see it, it therefore cannot be shut off, even if it is, read the radio and re-program it and the problem goes away. If you want to have a real good time, program the radio ID# the same as the System Watch terminal. Kinda hard to shut you off when your trying to do so with the same ID #, of course the sys administrator can turn off the ID as well, but since most don't know what their terminal ID is, they will kill their own equipment as well, you can bet that ID will be turned back on..... till they figure out how to re-program the ID for the sys watch. I don't recommend this, unless of course you like to wear orange.

Even if a radio is set to TX inhibit (and no Motorola radio that I know of offers this option in a TRUNKING personality except the TXIN soft menu on Astros), if the command is sent to inhibit that radio ID, the radio WILL transmit the acknowledge command and go dead.
If you disable the remote monitor/radio inhibit feature in the RSS (it appears in more than one location), that should keep a radio from being susceptible to inhibiting, but I'm not 100 percent sure of that.
Use the same radio ID as the dispatch console!

That only applies in conventional MDC systems. Radio Inhibit is an intrinsic part of 6809 (or higher) trunking systems, and the fact you cannot disable it on the radio end is one of the selling points of the systems.On 2002-04-09 09:27, Elroy Jetson wrote:
