Srec took as well, and all is working 100%

Nick, what host/dsp firmware is in your 800 saber? Have a secure module installed? What firmware version is the module? Try disabling the module and reprogramming the codeplug. I have a 599108-1C5E00 codeplug I'll send. PM your email to me. Can't remember off the top of my head, but its DSP/Host 7i...

Say I have a legit RID and my own talkgroup for my business on a 3600 baud SZOL system, I affiliatewith my RID, lock onto a site, on my talkgroup, then enable scan which includes talkgroups I don't necessarily want to affiliate on, will talkgroup audio come through then?

Okay, heres another scenario...

Say I have an XTS2500 flashed for 3600 baud trunking, any provisions there for scanning without affiliating? or will the radio still want to successfully affiliate before it unmutes like with 9600 baud systems?
