Hi Gary,
The problem is with how the radios are programmed - ARS on TT has been working for over 4 x years without a hickup - and CPS only gives you about 40% of what you need to know.
This is only slightly connected with GPS/LRRP - in being your radio will not respond to GPS/LRRP requests unless ARS is enabled. The radio's GPS/LRRP doesn't care if the radio's ARS is setup correctly or not - GPS/LRRP will work in either case - BUT only if ARS is enabled.
Please start a new Thread called "Trouble Shooting ARS" or something while I look through my emails - Actually Dan and Phill helped me out recently when I couldn't get my Portable to send an ARS Request - they both solved it for me with their knowledge of CPS programming. (i.e. the setting I was after was hidden in Channels/Zones section of CPS for the Radio)
Dan also had a problem where ARS wasn't getting through to TT - but worked perfectly when he installed TT on a pristine PC - something he had installed on his other PC (probably Motorola) was intercepting the ARS messages - so these are some of the pitfalls.
(BTW: These are Radio programming problems - Ham forums would be able to handle these types of question better than I can).
