    Why is there no RF power out on my Motorola XTS 2500 Portable Radio?
    • T
      Theresa PowellAug 25, 2025
      If there's no RF power coming out of your Motorola Portable Radio, it could be due to the TX power level or frequency settings. Check the TX power level and frequency programming using the CPS. If the issue persists, it might be due to no PTT from the control top, requiring the radio to be sent to a depot.

      David LarsonAug 26, 2025
      If the audio from your Motorola Portable Radio is distorted or not loud enough, the synthesizer might not be on frequency. Check the synthesizer frequency by measuring the transmitter frequency; if it's off by more than ±1000Hz, realign it.

    • B
      brownmichelleAug 27, 2025
      Poor RF sensitivity on your Motorola Portable Radio can be caused by a synthesizer that is not on frequency. Check the synthesizer frequency by measuring the transmitter frequency; if it is off by more than ±1000Hz, realign it. Another potential cause is the antenna switch, in which case you should send the radio to a depot.
