SmartZone Caller ID in group call

Post by MotoFAN »

Hi all!

I have a few radios in analog trunking system (type II/IIi): MTX8250 and Astro Saber III. Wnen they used in group call mode, MTX8250 show individual ID of calling party (in a broken manner). Astro Saber does not show never.

This option called "Caller ID" in MTX8250.

But how to enable individual ID displaying in analog trunking on Astro Saber?

Do the Astro Sabers have digital ID display in the flash options?

No. But I thinks that it's only for P25 Conventional.

I am wrong?

:( Impossible without VOCON replacement :(
2. H14 Digital ID Display FlashPort option must be enabled;
Ok.
3. Use CPS R04.01.02 or newer.
Ok.
To enable this option, change fields to the Radio Configuration / Display & Menu / PTT-ID tab in CPS.

Guys,

The same issue but with XTS3000 MIII. It does NOT show individual ID in group call. It just show aplhatag (Channel Name) and nothing else.

System Type II/IIi, Protocol II.

Radio is Enhanced Digital ID Display equipped.

Firmware 07.04.00.00
DSP N07.03.16

Display settings:

I think the above firmware version is your problem.. Going back to what I always say, you can use the most current CPS with all the new check boxes and option fields, but if your firmware is too old to understand any of it, it's not gonna work.. Bump your Host and I bet your issue will go away..

Stupidity creates job security!

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..

CPS = Customer Programming Software, Not CPS Software.
