[chirp_users] Need info on Motorola XTN XU2600 radio

[Kevin Zembower]

Hello, I just joined this group, after downloading and using CHIRP. 
Thank you all for a very helpful application.

The principal at my son's school asked for my help. They have a number 
of Motorola XTN XU2600 radios, that they'd like to gradually replace 
with Baofeng BF-888S ones. I'm trying to use CHIRP to program the 
Baofeng radios so that they interoperate with the Motorola ones, using 
the same channel numbers.

I was able to run CHIRP and successfully downloaded the settings from 
the Baofeng. However, I don't have a programming cable for the Motorola, 
and the Baofeng one doesn't fit. I changed the frequencies in the 
Baofeng to match the UHF frequencies I found in the Motorola user's 
manual, but the radios don't communicate. I left all the other columns 
unchanged.

Subsequently, I changed the 'TONE Mode' to 'None' for all the channels. 
I then noticed that the Baofeng could receive on channel 1 when I 
transmitted on the Motorola on channel one, but the Motorola couldn't 
receive from the Baofeng.

I believe that I need all the information for all the columns to get the 
Baofeng working with the Motorola. Can anyone point me to a CHIRP .img 
file or a .cvs file for the Motorola XTN XU2600? I'd be happy to send my 
factory-default Baofeng BF-888S .img file to anyone, or to a repository, 
for future reference. Is the Motorola set up to use any of the stock 
configs?

This is what I have programmed in the Baofeng for channel 1:
Freq: 464.500000
Tone mode: none
Tone: 88.5
ToneSql: 69.3
DTCS Code: 023
DTCS Rx Code: 023
DTCS Pol: NN
Cross Mode: Tone->Tone
Duplex: none
Offset: 0.0
Mode: FM
Power: High
Skip: S

Thank you for any advice or guidance you can give me. Thank, again, for 
such a useful program.
