Does anyone know if a Motorola 800 P25 phase 1 trunking system can have 2 talk groups hard or soft patched at either console or trunking controller to allow two talk groups with two seperate aes encryption keys to be patched? I realize the system would normally single broadcast with two talkgroup id...

I had seen this done successfully with III's and IV's. Can they be re-tuned the same way?

rileym

I have a pair of Minitor V pagers in VHF. Labeled as 160's band. Used engineering mode to change to 150's. Will not lock on channels in the mid 150's. Anyone have any ideas on what else I can do?

rileym

Has anyone come up with a way to do some sort of remote start functionality for a vehicle using signalling of some sort?

I would really like the idea of being able to start/stop my vehicle within handheld range or repeater range for that matter...

Thoughts?

rileym

Thanks for the tip, but I need type II trunking in 800.

rileym

Thank you for all the replies.

In that case, I will be best served by using a HHCH for one, and regular for the other, and can then use either, and swap cables to radios if need be.

rileym

Looking to share a head between A4 Astro Spectras between 800 and VHF.

Wondering if anyone has found an easy way to install a "switch", possibly using a pc parallel port splitter, something to avoid having to actually unplug the head cable in order to use the other band...

rileym

Is it possible to write the S-Record from an Astro Saber to a XTS3000 of the same model?

I have read that they are basically the same radio... I figure it is a shot in the dark, but might as well ask rather than gain a fancy doorstop.

rileym

I find the most valuable functionality of PM's to be that which allows one to see if the recipient has received the PM. I think, especially with purchases and trades, it offers buyers a quicker response from sellers and likewise.

Attempted to program with a P120 and 16mb ram.. Slowest computer I still have...

No luck.

I knew I shoulda kept those 4-5 386's I had in the basement at one point...

rileym

Thanks will.

The slowest computer I have at the moment is a pentium....

Has anyone been able to program one of these things with anything faster than a 286?

rileym

Ok, so got to booting the thing up today... It works, just looking to reprogram now. I got the software to run in plain DOS on my P3 (which is the slowest computer I own at the moment...) Do I need slower, the repeater doesn't respond to the read command...?

rileym

Makes sense. Thanks.

Is there any advantage to it?

rileym

Recently acquired an inexpensive R100 in UHF. It is a H5016B. The small board (called interface board) that is connected by pins to the larger board on the inside of the cover was pushed out and to the side when I received it. (Board also has cables running to various places on the larger board, and...

rileym

Escomm, I will check on the versions when I get home this afternoon. Akardam, the field you mentioned is exactly the one I am working on. I have found that when I attempt to use 25khz that I am missing some of the traffic, and on both of my radios. The radio displays the active channel, but sounds s...

Using CPS 5.2

rileym

I am having an issue re-banding my XTS3000. Firmware is re-bandable, but the channel spacing only lets me select 25khz or 12.5 khz, not 20khz, as was selectable in the spot for the "old" NPSPAC band. The codeplug has the "rebandable" softbox checked permanently. Is this a CPS iss...

rileym

That kind of defeats the purpose of having them for Public Works and the like in places where entire counties are on an NPSPAC system. I think Motorola made a huge mistake here. Who on earth is going to buy a product with an upgrade path to TRBO if it does not work with a current system (as they adv...

I have a XTS1500 that does paging differently than this one shown in this youtube video.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vieFfBomezQ&feature=PlayList&p=03BE15B563423715&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=6 Mine Beeps twice then opens back up for the tones and voice... Not very g...

rileym

I am experiencing a different one... I have re-soldered the IC under the square heat sink as suggested, no luck. Also tried completely swapping the RF board for a spare, still no luck. I noticed one of the connectors (the one towards the top) than connects the RF board to the controller seems to swa...

rileym

For your amusement, here is my homebrew cardboard pager programmer....

rileym

Never mind. In fact, it does write. It gives an error message, but upon inspection, the codeplug did write to the pager. This may be because there is no comparator circuit, as discussed here: http://sites.google.com/site/radioetcetera/minitorprogrammer Happy I now have a way to program my own pagers...

rileym

I built myself a simple programmer with a USB TTL chip off ebay. I installed the drivers, pinned to some wires, and I can read the pager, but not write to it. I am only using Ground, Data TX, and Data RX... I am under the impression I do not need to supply power to the pager in order to write correc...

rileym

Attempted and did not work.

Anybody used to repairing Minitor 4's want to take a whack at this one?

rileym

Thanks. will try that.

rileym

And it is the right band split...

rileym

I bought a Minitor 4 for a friend, and programmed it up.

The problem is, although the CP reflects the correct programming, it will not recieve traffic on the programmed channel. All functions seem to be fine, CP reads and writes fine, etc.

Any ideas?

Thanks

rileym

Ok thanks. I figured that one may be of question.

Nonetheless, the tutorial is handy in any case...

Anybody know of the changes of going VHF Low to VHF High?

rileym

Anybody want to zip and post the modified .exe file so all others have to do is replace it... I may think about it if I get the time... I don't think that would be an issue since M now supplies the soft free right?

rileym

So I used the cable that came with them instead of my own, and they both went into programing mode. One took the clone, and the other did not. Am tempted to try an earlier version of CPS and see what happens...

rileym

I recently acquired a lot of UHF ASI's. 4 of them are P25 and 2 are Analog only. 2 of the P25 radios will not respond to a program request. All other 4 did fine. Details of these 2 radios: H04SDC9PW5AN 100001000007 They turn on and talk to eachother fine on the simplex frequency in them, just will n...

rileym

Is host 9 the earliest that supports it, if not what is the cutoff?

Thanks

rileym

Took it to pieces and put in front of a fan for the day. Put back together and works great.

Those covers are not so obvious as to how they come off... Thanks again for the help. I really didn't want to crack the case trying to force it open.

rileym

Thanks a ton, I'll give er a try.

rileym

So I dropped a SP50 in the lake today. I fished it out right away, but I can't get the cover off to save my life.... Is there a trick....

Definitely does not open like a jedi...

rileym

Radio is a white label H01RDC9AA3DN

I am finding out now that the radio was supposedly modified for ham use....

So do I hex it back somehow or find another codeplug for the same model...?

rileym

Interesting... And the crappy Radius SP50's we have do it and a HT1k won't... woah.

rileym

Nope, not rx only. The thing that gets me is that if it was tx inhibited on those channels it should bleep on attempt to key up, and it does not. Simply does not do anything on those channels. As for the model, I do not have it in front of me until this weekend, but it is a DN model with a white lab...

rileym

If i only changed programming on 2 channels it will let me tx on the others, just not the ones I reprogrammed....

Thanks

rileym

I have a UHF DN model I picked up from a friend. I attempted to program it with RSS, and it took the codeplug. It then however would not tx (no red light, no locked out bleep). Freq is within range of HT, not sure if there is a programming trick...? Wrote origional codeplug back into HT, and works f...

rileym

Anyone been able to successfully program a low band mobile or portable to CB channels?...

Obviously on low power....

rileym

Copy that. I thought astro25 portable CPS did Astro Sabers and 3000's.

Learn something new every day.

Thanks

rileym

CPS 12.

Am in Florida, and can't check the versions.... I'll get em when I get back.

rileym

Sounds good. The cable itself does say "Astro Saber" on it.

I'll have to toy around and see if I can remedy it...

Thanks

rileym

I am using a RIB I originally successfully used with a spectra. I bought the Astro Saber programming cable from KAWA. Hooked up to an astro saber and at attempt to read, the rib light blinks 4 times, and I get a "Nextgen" error. Does this mean they were written with a newer CPS? Or is it t...

rileym

Thanks guys...

Its fun to dream sometimes....

rileym

Can a commercial sound amplifier be used to amplify RF as well?

I have a 2500 watt commercial amp that i have always wondered about the possibly of modifying to allow such use.

rileym

Pj,

Thanks for the info.

I'm just sorta glad at least they are putting them both in the same chassis now...

I'm not expecting the price to be low with the new APX models, know what they will be going for?

I'll just be glad to see the department be able to scan both bands on the same radio.

rileym

Here it is... He msg'd me back....

http://business.motorola.com/publicsafe ... index.html

rileym

A friend of mine recently told me they were available, however, can't seem to find specs.

Anybody know anything?

Thanks
