I am fairly new to the cps versions of software and I recently purchased a xts5000 model II which if my reseach is correct is capable of a 2 line display. my question is how do i do this, I have removed the zone text from the display by adding text size however I can not find anywhere for the second line. I would greatly apprecaiate any help

Re: XTS5000 Display Question
No user programable second line display is available other than the alias ID of the radio.

Cute feature; not sure how useful.
In essence, this feature (which can be switchable via a menu) fills the empty second line whenever that line is idle (and, therefore, otherwise blank).

Re: XTS5000 Display Question
I put my callsign and the radio band on the
second line, in case I'm being really stupid that
day and don't know which radio I'm picking up.
Otherwise it is pretty useless.

Re: XTS5000 Display Question
Does anyone know if the XTS3000 can display a second line?
Re: XTS5000 Display Question
The alias is good for cache & loaner radios. I have the name of the cache the radios came from programmed in there so if somebody "forgets" to turn back in a cache radio they get a gentle reminder each time they look at the display. I also put "STOLEN! Call XXX-..." in the codeplug alias so if they take it somewhere to get it reprogrammed the tech hopefully will at least ask questions.
