XTS2500 Programming

Hey gang,
I have an XTS2500 800mhz. I'm trying to program in a P25 trunked system and I'm starting to get a little teed off. I have the system key, the flashcode for the radio is 5A1018-10178C-5, the HOST is R09.00.03 the DSP is R09.00.02 and it's a 4 Meg radio. When I'm in the Trunking System, it only allows me to use a Type II system, no ASTRO25 is able to be selected. I can't even select 'Astro Capable System' under the digital tab, it's greyed out. Am I not doing something, overlooking something or just need another cup of coffee....
-Tony

Why don't you just go to the radio systems administrator and have him do it. saves all sorts of problems for both of you.

Tony,
I believe I ran into the same problem with an older XTS2500 (might of been a 1500). There was a secondary setting somewhere that I had to manipulate. I also had issues with my key not loading properly at first which caused me to be unable to change those settings. I will fire up the laptop and XTS later today and try to re-create the problem and will get back to you. While Jim was overwhelmingly helpful in this discussion, I would be happy to also give some feedback.

You have Q52 and Q53 in the radio and I believe there is a confilict with the Astro25 trunking and FPP wins as the dealer.

That's what I thought it was too. I have a VHF with the same flashcode and was able to choose either type 2 or Astro25 trunking.

Jason,
Thanks for the real help. I was thinking it was a setting too. I thought I looked everywhere, but I've been fooled before.
