Just like with the Motorola Portables the TP9300 handhelds can be programmed with a mixture analogue and digital if the following is observed.
- The TP9300 can handle a maximum of 16 channels per Zone.
- LCP, CAP+ and Capacity MAX are not supported by TP9300 handhelds as these are Motorola technologies.
Configure the networks
First you will need to configure the radio to handle Analogue & Digital technologies. To do this in “Conventional Features” and scroll down to the “Networks” section & open the “Basic Settings” window. Here you will need to configure 2 Networks, you can add & remove networks at the bottom of the page.
For digital channels make sure the “Network type” is set to “DMR”.- For analogue channels set the “Network type” to “None”.
Configuring DMR Channels
Next you need to set up the Group codes for the digital channels. To do this go to “Talkgroup lists” under the “DMR” section. Then in the “Talkgroup Members” you need to enter a line for each digital channel. The “Label” field is whatever you want to call the channel. The “Group ID” can be entered as decimal or HEX (don’t worry about working out the HEX value as changing the decimal value changes the HEX and vice versa). The value needs to match values in other radios (here I used the value “901”).
Now go to the “Channels” window and enter in the relevant frequencies and power levels. In the “Network” column set the relevant channels to the “DMR” network. Now go into the “Detailed” tab for each channel and the relevant DMR settings. The “Talkgroup” field is where you select the group code you configured earlier.
Configuring Analogue Channels
For analogue channels enter in the relevant frequencies, PL codes & Power levels and in the “Network” column select your analogue network.
