xtl2500

I need help! I just bought a motorola xtl 2500 radio a few days ago. Im having big issues with it. I have the radio hooked up through my switch box and everytime I turn the radio off and then turn it back on the emergency page gos off. I dont understand why it keeps doing that. If i turn the radio off by pressing the off button on the radio it doesnt do that but if I turn it off and on with the switch box it sends out the emergency single with out me pressing the button

How do you have the Ignition sence hooked up? It sounds like something is tied onto the emergency jumper. Is it a Dash (1 piece)or remote head (2 or 3 piece) setup?

I have it hooked up to my main power cable running to my switch box so it has power 100% of the time

XTL's are kinda picky. They do not like having the ignition and constant switched together. It causes wacky powerup issues to say the least. Move the constant power to a clean battery source and the ignition line to the switch box alone. We have seen some retarded issues on XTLs that CDMs never had. Also make sure the ignition is in pin 25 and on a dash configuration the 15-14 jumper is in for the emergency loop.
