Re: XTS5000 Site Trunking

Maybe the site you are affiliated to is in site trunking?

If your radio is programmed as a SmartNet radio it will not show any site trunking alerts.

Re: APX7000 blue dot

The blue dot means the radio is equipped with bluetooth. If the radio did not come directly from the factory, verify that the module is in place.

Re: APX & Site Alias

You need at add a "Site Display/Search" button, when pressed it will display the SmartZone site number or the custom alias you have provided in CPS.

The Site button allows you to lock your radio to the site you are currently affiliated to and will prevent it from roaming to other sites.
