MPL in older firmware XTS5K

[Hartley]

OK, I searched (though I bet it's here somewhere if my search-fu was better.. ) - I acquired an VHF XTS-5K with 4.80.00 Host & DSP. It seems to do everything I want it to - except MPL. I've checked the box in the zone/channel entry, entered plenty of values on the MPL table, but I can't get the "MPL" button to show up in either the menu, or function if its set to a button. Is my firmware too olde for MPL or have I missed something?
I see I can get 64 MPLs by upgrading to 19.x.x, so I might uplift it anyway..

Thanks DE Hartley

Wow, that's really ancient! I can only heartily recommend upgrading your firmware, that may very well be the cause of the button issues as well.

BTW the on-site search sucketh, use the Googala. After your search term, type " site:communications.support" and it will restrict results to this site only.

MPL was officially supported starting with Host R06.00.00. Bumping up your Host will make MPL appear in the menu, and take care of your issue..

Thank You, Sir! I kinda figured that was the issue - I'm gonna see if I can get this puppy uplifted..

You can, but a serial cable will be needed, don't think version 4 supported USB
