| Post subject: | Motorola XTS Experts |
I asked on the other forum and didn't get any solid replies. I found a curious issue with my XTS 2500 and was just wondering if this is normal behavior with the Motorola firmware... I was programming some UHF HAM repeaters into my radio (via FPP) and noticed that the Rx CTCSS wasn't working... After some head-scratching, I switched the bandwidth from 25khz to 12.5khz and the Rx CTCSS is now working fine... My XTS has the R17.01.01 firmware. |

Is this an ALT radio? Has it been aligned/'benched'? |

And what is the firmware version? |

I can't speak to the latter but it seemed to work 100% and my audio quality sounded perfect when using P25 or analog modes. So, the original post is a bit old. Shortly after that post, I upgraded both my XTS 2500 and 5000 to the latest R20 release using the FlashZap method -- and then reloaded the codeplug manually (as recommended so that the codeplug is migrated to the latest version.) I am noticing some issues with stored memories after the upgrade on both radios. New question: is there a way (in the CPS software) to reset the radios to a "factory fresh" state -- wiping all stored user data/memories? With all of the WSP/HAM changes, I need to reprogram them anyway. |

You could find a blank code plug on another site and blow it in. |

I'm betting it needs to be aligned. I PMed you my guess as to why. :D |

RX Side of the radio was not properly decoding CTCSS? Can you "align" that? |

Same thing happens on trunked systems...control channel sounds perfect when programmed as a conv rx freq but decode rate is like 20% when you attempt to set it as a control channel to follow the system. You'd be surprised how finicky some things are when they're off freq. Human ear can't tell, but the decoder circuit sure can. |
