Muchas gracias! This will make it easier to get my ears wet on Astro 25 programming. There’s quite a bit more going on with this CPS vs. MotoTRBO��..

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?

Motorola XTS2500I UHF Code Plug Metro Area & Minnesota

Thelostiowan@... (Don Burgess) — Thu, 25 May 2023 12:21:01 -0700

Hello Everyone:

Here is the UHF Metro Code Plug I made up for Don-BVE radio for a Motorola XTS2500I Model III HT.

Please note -- For us users down here in Sibley County and Mankato areas....we do a Analog P25 Channel then next channel as a Digital transmit... This way if you find a DV P-25 mode in use, you can listen in and NOT change modes or sequences.

Example

R443.825-A Channel 1

R443.825-D Channel 2

Please review and let me know if you have questions?? I will try and make breakfast on Saturday.

FYI -- Remember -- YOUR DMR ID## is also your P-25 ID##....

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?

I'd also be interested in that codeplug. I would like to merge with my AZ codeplug and having all the data in one place would be nice.

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 know Bayport is:

What is US BANK and Riverside??

Thank you,

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.

Thanks,

Re: Astro 25 radios on eBay

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!
