Hi there!
I'm slowly migrating from Astro25 series radios to APX ones. I'm currently running APX CPS R12.00.00 and though I'm no newbie to radio programming, I still have some unsolved problems with it:
1. With the Astro25 CPS it was possible to switch between import options: "Append" or "Overwrite". In APX CPS I can't find this selection. The software would do "Append" on default, which, in my case, causes plenty of errors (in scan lists' especially) which I have to work out by hand. How do I make the software ovewrite when importing?
2. I have an APX7000 VHF+UHF which has almost all the channels I need and much more. Now I also have an APX2000 VHF and am awaiting APX4000 UHF. Allright, I can export all my data from APX7000 to APX4000 or 2000, but how do I get rid of the freuency data which is "wrong" for mono-band radios? To make it simplier, how do I export VHF (or UHF) channels and personalities only? Is it possible?
3. APX7000 has time display and set button and displays clock on default. However APX4000 only has time set button, I can't get it to display clock on the screen. Is it even possible?
4. In Astro25 CPS it was possible to Drag and Drop zones and personalities from one codeplug to another. One just opened 2 windows with both codeplugs and off one goes. However it doesn't work for APX CPS. It is impossible to open 2 codeplugs in the same APX CPS window (unlike MotoTRBO CPS) and dragging and dropping from 2 diferent windows won't help either. Nor could I manage to copy and paste items from one codeplug to another. Copying and pasting only works for the same codeplug in my case.
5. My APX2000 seems to behave strangely. I have a zone of Mixed-Mode Analog TX channels which I scan most of the time. When I turn the scanning off, the radio flashes the red light briefly for 3-4 seconds and then come up with REG FAILED on the screen. When the red led flashes, I can hear short digital bursts on the control analog-only radio. The radio has NO trunking systems at all, why would it want to register somewhere?
Thanks to everybody in advance!
