You will need a programming cable and computer software from Motorola.

Here is a link to the user guide for the XTN style radio. http://www.123radios.com/manuals/xtnmanual.pdf

Programming instructions begin on page 18. You will need to set the frequency and interference eliminator code (PL code) the same on all the radios.

When you enter programming mode, you can use the menu button to walk you through the various options you can program.

Best regards.

Yes. First you will need to know what is programmed in your newer RDV2020, both the frequency and PL code. Using the instructions in the XTN series user guide you can reprogram your XV1100 to match your RDV2020. If you are uncertain how your RDV2020 is programmed, contact your local Motorola dealer or the vendor who you purchased the unit from.

Here is the link to the XTN series user guide. See programming instructions beginning on page 18.

Best regards.

No, your XV1100 is a one channel radio with a particular list of frequencies available. It can only do one frequency at a time. Sorry.

The instructions for getting into programming mode are on page 18. A synopsis is this:
1) Hold in the PTT button and the MON button while turning on the radio. Continue to hold them in until the radio is no longer making noise.
2) Press the Menu button one time. This is your Freq. Use the plus or minus button to change the freq. Press the menu button to lock in your selection.
3) The next number is your Code. Use the same method to select your code and lock it in.
4) Continue through the menu, making your selections according to the user guide. When you are at the end of the programming cycle the radio will emit a different chirp. When this occurs, shut of the radio and turn it back on normally. You are done programming.

Best regards.

Here is a link to the programming software http://www.radioserviceincorporated.com/files/1935423/uploaded/RDX_Series_CPS_R01-00.zip

And here is a link to the user guide http://www.astracomm.com/media/pdf/RDX_Display.pdf

The RDV2080 VHF with display would be compatible with the XTN series radios which have a model name starting with XV, as in VHF. Typically the RDV2080 ships on the default frequencies found in the XV2600. So if you have not changed your XTN frequencies/PL code they may match out of the box.

On a sidenote: The Motorola CP110 VHF is also compatible. It is an industrial version of the RDX radio. It has a few more channel capability and a replaceable antenna. It looks just like the RDX models, and it is the replacement radio for the CP100 and/or XTN.

All of the above mentioned models are repairable.

The XTN will not work with the spirit. The PL tones are worng.

The XTN radio is capable of both narrowband (12.5k) channel spacing and wideband (25k) channel spacing. If a radio is programmed to narrowband and another to wideband, one will transmit softly to the other, while the other transmits loudly back. If this were the cause of your problem, it is easy to resolve by reprogramming the radios to match one another. When in programming mode be certain when you get to the channel spacing step to choose the same word on each radio, either hi or lo.

If this does not solve your problem, you are experiencing another issue we commonly see in the repair facility. It is called low receive audio. This is repairable in most cases.

You might wonder what causes this problem. We most often see it when the end-user runs at full volume for long periods of time. Cut back the volume a little bit and you might save your radio from the repair shop.
