What to do for SLIC Initialization Failure on Motorola ASTRO XTS 3000?
To resolve a SLIC Initialization Failure on your Motorola Radio, turn the radio off, then on.
Why is there no receiver audio or unmute on my Motorola Radio?
If your Motorola Radio has no receiver audio or the receiver does not unmute, ensure the transmitted signal matches the receiver configuration (PL, DPL, etc.). Also, check if the radio can be unmuted with the monitor function enabled.
Why is there no/low signalling (PL, DPL, MDC) on my Motorola ASTRO XTS 3000 Radio?
If you are experiencing no or low signalling (PL, DPL, MDC) on your Motorola Radio, check the programming. If the issue persists, send the radio to a depot, because the controller board may be defective.
How to fix bad microphone sensitivity on Motorola Radio?
If you are experiencing bad microphone sensitivity with your Motorola Radio, realign the radio, if necessary, after checking the deviation and compensation.
What to do if my Motorola Radio is dead but the display lights up?
If your Motorola Radio is dead but the display lights up, the controller board may be defective. Send the radio to a depot.
Why is there no modulation or distorted modulation on my Motorola ASTRO XTS 3000?
If your Motorola Radio has no modulation or the modulation is distorted, check the deviation and compensation settings using the RSS. If the issue persists, send the radio to a depot, because the controller board may be defective.
Why is the RF sensitivity poor on my Motorola ASTRO XTS 3000 Radio?
If your Motorola Radio's RF sensitivity is poor, check the synthesizer frequency by measuring the transmitter frequency. If it is off by more than ±600 Hz, realign it. If the synthesizer frequency is correct, send the radio to a depot, because the antenna switch may be defective.
What does it mean when my keyloader displays FAIL for Motorola Radio?
If the keyloader displays 'FAIL' when keyloading your Motorola Radio, ensure that the keyloader is a “T----CX” or “T----DX” Keyloader.
Why is there no RF power out on my Motorola ASTRO XTS 3000?
If your Motorola Radio has no RF power out, check the TX power level and frequency programming using the RSS. If that's not the issue, the problem may be that there is no PTT from the control top, and you should send the radio to a depot.
What to do if my Motorola Radio is dead and the display does not light up?
If your Motorola Radio is dead and the display does not light up, the cause may be a dead battery. Replace it with a charged battery. Alternatively, a blown fuse could be the reason, in which case you should send the radio to a depot.
