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.

?

Thanks,

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!
