Being able to configure this in the field is useful. As the XT420 is an 8 frequency radio with 16 channel locations, I like to have 1-8 with a specific CTCSS code and then 9-16 with no tone so I can hear all transmissions on a particular frequency. All radios tend to ship with pre-configured CTCSS tones on each of the channels. CTCSS/Privacy Codes - This is the big deal for most people. I'm not sure why you would want to do this but you can.Ģ. Channel Frequency - You can change the PMR446 channel number assigned to a physical channel number.
Just the basic functionality is covered.ġ. The downside is that there are only 3 programmable areas on the XT420. It is not, and I hope this demo shows you how simple it is. It makes it look unnecessarily complicated. The manual from Motorola makes a mess of this. This video shows you how to program your Motorola radio without the CPS software.
Using the CPS software requires a cable (more extra cost), and it also requires you to be at a computer. I did a video a while back looking at why the XT420 is so lovely to use. The XT420 is a beautifully made radio, so I can understand why this would be a go-to walkie talkie for many. There are plenty of enthusiasts in radio who own these radios. The browser-based webserver implementation simplifies programming of multiple radios in a business environment.In reality, we're not all in such an environment.
