2 TRBO RF Decks into 1 Control Head?

Is there a way to remote 2 RF decks into 1 Control Head? I have a new truck, and there doesn't seem to be enough space for 2 control heads, not even HHCHs.

Creating Conventional Zones for XPR 7550 and 5550

I have programmed multiple zones in both models of radio and assigned a few channels to each zone, and assigned buttons for zone selection but the radios see the channels as one long list not separate zones, even though CPS shows them in multiple zones.

What am I doing wrong?
