Communications Support Forums

Hi all, apologies if this post is in the wrong section. I have used the search function which did not return any results.

I've been programming my (and others) xts and xtl series radios for a number of years now (from the old DOS system to the new CPS) and one setting in the programming alludes me.

I our area we can still rx NSW Police chatter on the digital network. No encryption yet. Anyway, When receiving the local NSWPol communications (in digital) when the operator sends out priority (1 and 2) call alert beeps, the radio (xts and xtl series) does not receive the beep as an audible tone, rather a garbled tone mixed with the digital. I've been informed that the single or double beep should be loud and clear like it use to sound when it was in analogue.

I've tried many different combinations in the software, from Squelch type, Rx options, ASTRO, Mixed etc, digital modulator type and Rx unmute rule. The console operated beeps (tones) are washed out in the digital rx audio.

Can anyone shed some light on this or point me in the direction of a post which covers this issue please?

P.S. I'm using ASTRO CPS R20 for xts5k and xtl and CPR R05.03 for xts3k.

Cheers
