Unfortunately I won’t be able to go to the breakfast this Saturday. It’s been quite a while since I’ve attended that DMR breakfast and I need to change that. Is Fat Nats still every-other Saturday? ?

Hello Kyle,

?

I have an Astro code plug for my XTS 3000 with all the P25 metro repeaters and a few analog ones. It is a work in progress. Maybe we can learn together :-).? There's a breakfast gathering this coming Saturday in St. Anthony at Fat Nats Eggs for digital ham radio enthusiast, maybe we can meet there to discuss?

?

Dave, KE0NA?

Does anyone have an Astro 25 codeplug for UHF in the Twin Cities they'd be willing to share? I have an XTS5000 I'd like to program, but I'm completely new to P25 still have much to learn about this CPS. Thanks in advance!?

I'd be interested in a pointer to where I might find CPS for the XTS3000.

Here's what I'm using for my XTS5000 radios

Also, if anyone is looking for batteries, let me know. I might have a couple I can spare.

Thanks Mike,

I got the invalid fields cleaned up (so I could write it out), and was able to configure one analog and two Astro channels, I think scan?lists are set up, but the three position toggle and other items are still a mystery to me. I put my DMR ID in the Personal ID field (a unique number that should work for P25, correct?). Also, why is it writing?out a session log? I turned off security, which got rid of the Key Lock error. Trunking is still there, but I am afraid to mess with it.

Thanks again,

Dave, KE0NA

Hello Dave,

Are you able to read the codeplug from the radio then email it to me?

I can try to redo it for you.

Hello all,

?

I have successfully?read my XTS 3000 Model II HT (bought an old Dell Laptop running XP).

It appears that the radio is configured for trunking and I do not have the knowledge on how to turn off what needs to be turned off to make it usable for Amaterur radio. I cannot even save the code plug since it has "invalid fields".

I think the quickest way to fix this would be to load a code plug from another XTS 3000 that has been set up for amateur radio.

Does anyone have a code plug that I can use to overwrite the trunking configuration in my radio so I can start setting it up properly?

?

Thank you,

Dave Ventura, KE0NA

Morning Kyle & Everyone:

Just a quick opinion from us gang here in South Central Minnesota. The best Hand Hand Helds are the ones that have FPP programability in it....or other words -- Program THE repeaters you want on the fly includiung DCS/PL or even NAC numbers.

This saves you from being tied to a programming cable and a PC in my opinion.

If you have a question, let me know.

Here's a pretty good deal for $294 shipped. A Q-split XTS5000R (ruggedized) with battery, IMPRES charger, and speaker mic. It's an Aussie tagged radio, but the P/N is the same as NA units, so there shouldn't be any issues with codeplug programming. They look to be in really decent shape!
