XTS2500 Scan Issue!

Post by radios4bill »

Hi Group; Well I have a problem that I have not been able to figure out I have a XTS2500 (8 MEG) and I can't get it to scan talkgroups in differant zones only within same zone? And I can only get 10 talkgroups to scan with a zone? Can anyone HELP? Thanks, Bill

If you want to scan talkgroups from more than 1 system, make sure your scan list is set for talkgroup scan, and that multi system scan is checked..

If your radio has old firmware, programming it with the latest CPS will not add any new features unless you have the latest firmware to match..

Thanks for the reply! I tried that and because I have 3 systems in the radio it don't work. All I get is "OUT OF RANGE" any other thing I can try? And why is it only 10 talkgroups on a 2500, I have 16 on a 5000?

you can only scan 10 talkgroups even on the 5000, you must be thinking of conventional scan which allows 15

Unless you have some old firmware/codplug in your radio, the 5000 will scan 15+1 talkgroups..

15 member scan list is possible with Priority Monitor scan type, not Talkgroup
