Motorola XTS1500 Digital P-25 Radio Alerting

My Motorola XTS1500 digital P-25 portable radio alerting for Saturday 11am pager testing. Radio is set up to continiously alert beep untill the channel is changed, radio is shut off, or a button is pressed. Radio doesn't alert all the time though. Many members also have the same issue Thinking it may be related to the simulcast radio repeater system the county has

Is the system a VHF P25 system? conventional or trunked?

@ffemtriley Thats what we ended up doing. Since our Sheriffs office here runs on P-25 digital we wanted to be able to listen to them, but maximize efficent use of the grant money. Also the county will be going to narrowband within a year or two. Replaced a large fleet of GP300's

True, but when you have 50+ volunteer / POC'ers in a single town / city and you give them all radios, XTS5000's are a bit pricey. You will see more XTS1500/2500's with all the AFG grants given out. Departments trying to maximize grant money these days.

Dont reall see much of these anymore. Most governments/ppl have upgraded to XTS 5000's now.
