XPR8300 setting TX interval and Mix Mode Timer for CWID on GMRS

[WRKZ485]

Hi all, and thanks in advance for any help here.

Trying to set up my XPR8300 for us as a GMRS repeater.  Using MOTOTRBO CPS 16.0 (Build 828).  What values should be entered in the TX interval and Mix Mode Timer for CWID on GMRS?  Can't seem to get the timing setup to behave as I was expecting it to.  Thanks again for any help here.

What you show in the screen is correct.

You’re required to ID every 15 minutes when transmitting.

I understand that. The real question is, will the settings in the screen shot in the original post achieve this on the XPR8300?

If I am interpreting Motorola's description of these fields properly I think it will.

I have worked with CAT and ARCOM controllers before so the Motorola set up is new to me.

Thanks  73,

Sorry, I don’t have first hand knowledge, but here’s a post on radio reference where the settings are discussed as having problems: https://forums.radioreference.com/threads/xpr-8400-cwid-problem.382441/

@Radioguy7268 has experience with these settings. Maybe he’s around.

Those settings will work, but you need to have the unit set as a repeater. If you use an external controller, you're probably setting it up as a Base, and allowing for external control of the repeat function.

I'd strip PL for CWID transmit.
