Good, the XTLs are garbage.

Agreed! I cringe every time I see agencies buying a XTS/XTL, it's decade old legacy equipment.

Looks like we figured it out, switching the repeater from mixed mode to Analog conventional fixed the COR activation issue on the telco connector.

Hey guys,
We have an astro spectra consolette that we would like to connect to a computer via the computers sound card Mic input. Does anyone know off the top of their head which pins I should use. I just don't want to use a powered port and blow my sound card.

Thanks,
Dsheli

Hey guys would a refresh key from the astro 25 line work for the astro spectra?

Does this also mean a Trbo could do phase II P25 if they wanted it to?

I called Motorola Support and asked this very question last march or whenever Capacity plus came out. The support agent said thats a great question, I will have to go get an engineer and find out. The engineer came on the phone and informed me that yes you can setup capacity plus with one repeater. ...

http://www.powerproducts.com/ It seams as tho the price for the Li-Ion battery is fairly close to the price of the Motorola Branded battery. So if it was my choice I would probably buy the Motorola battery but o well.

dsheli

Ok, what ever in the long run I really don't care haha. The batteries were purchased through batteries plus, but the actual manufacturer on the label is "Power Products" and its is the Li-Ion version XTS:5000 PN: BP6034 the serial number is a single digit so I guess these are some of the f...

dsheli

MTS, sorry for my delay, I will PM you with the info tonight when I get home. I did not want to post it on the board since I have not figured out what if they are legally doing it yet or not.

I recently put in a request to purchase 4 of the Genuine XTS5000 Li-ion batteries from our county government. Well I received the batteries the other day and was pissed off that they were 3rd party batteries. Since we are spending county equipment money I have no say, I get what I get. Well I put on...

dsheli

Don't Know if this was posted yet or not but occasionally will see a U.S. Border Protection officer wearing them on the show "Border Wars" majority seam to have XTS5000 now.

That would definitely be my bad, if I mad that mistake back home I would probably catch some... haha

Does anyone have any close up pictures of LA County's Battalion vehicles? I would love to see a close up of the 7 XTL5000 I see mounted in the back. Right now I count 11 antennas on the top of the roof.

I hate to bring up such an old form but I am sure this topic is searched often. For a "true" serial port you need the card, whether express or PCIMCA to be PCI-e based (OXFORD OXPCIe952) not USB based solution (Prolific PL2303 chip).

Hey guys I have a very unique situation, but some of you might be in the same boat as I am. It involves the use of advanced system keys and who has the control over a radio. There are several scenarios that I can think of where I think ASK are great, and some where they are horrible, like mine. Just...

dsheli

What kind of programing cable is used on the XTS4000?
David

dsheli

I don't know where you take your radio but it would make me feel much better knowing my $2500 dollar radio is protected from the environments. I personally would not loose the "I" or "R" rating of that radio. All it takes is one structure fire for that radio to get wet and your &...

Click on radio configuration then drop down too Display & menu click on advanced tab then click on emergency receive. Then click on your MDC system that is assigned to the channel your using. Click advanced and check box that says Emergency alarm receive indicator. That should do it. kb9suy, Th...

Have you looked under the back seat of the chiefs car? Everytime one of our radios goes missing thatsusually where we find it.

dsheli

Hey guys, I have searched all over and cant find anything relating to emergency MDC decoding on the XTS2500. Currently I have the 2500's set up with Post MDC-ID, each radio displays the number, no problem. I can also page and call alert each radio but if a radio goes into "emergency" the o...

dsheli

Wow I stand corrected, I just assumed they did not sell them because I could never find one.
David

dsheli

WOW thats some great information guys! What is your comment on the VHF stubby antennas that are being sold on ebay? I know that when big M themselves will not sell a VHF stubby and the only place you can get one is ebay, that has to say something in itself. What do you think of a Chinese ebay VHF st...

dsheli

Does the coax in the PSM add any additional performance? Thanks for everyone's input!

dsheli

Hey guys,
With the high frequency of the 800mhz radios, do you find a significant performance drop when using a stubby antenna on the radio? Also from experience has anyone found a significant performance increase when using the "public safety" speaker microphone.
Thanks,
David

The Noise Reduction software is not free, its a upgrade if you don't already have it. ads I think thats a generalized statement, that may not be totally correct. The advanced noise reduction software is a feature that works with DSP/HOST 12 and above, IIRC, and yes it does require a firmware only r...

dsheli

Wow, thanks for that input! You just saved me some money.
Take Care,

Hey guys, Our fleet of radios consists of XTS5000 and 2500 being used in conventional VHF analog as well as P25 800 trunked. I was reading some articles online about the whole background noise issue with P25 radios and came across Motorola's Noise Reduction software. Is this something that is a free...

Wow thats great! Thanks Wave!

How would you guys recommend patching an analog channel onto a Mototrbo Digital Talk group? Basically I would like to have one TRBO Mobile and say a maxtrac, whenever someone talks on a VHF analog freq, the TRBO would repeat that signal onto a digital talkgroup. Then when ever there was traffic on t...

dsheli

Does anyone know if there are any electronics in the OEM motorola programing cables for the XPR or if that "lump" is a ferrite core. The reason why I am asking is because I would like to know if I could build a programing cable myself.
Thanks,
David

dsheli

Wow guys thanks so much for your replies. This is definitely going to be a daunting task and your help is much appreciated. I think what I am going to do is use radio mobile and try and come up with a decent coverage map. Like you said there are areas I know to be of no coverage, and areas of good c...

dsheli

Wow, after doing a little more research this is definitely going to be a daunting task. Thanks for all the input! I will keep everyone updated.
David

Has anyone created a coverage map for one of there customers? Our county fire repeater system has many "holes" and in some areas are Mobile radios only, others both mobile and portable. I think it would be really cool to create a type of coverage map for my area using Google Earths elevati...

Tetra,
I to will be building a USB programing cable for the XPR portable. I think it will be really easy as the cable I payed 85 dollars for that programs my XPR 4550 is extremely strait forward. I will try and post a tutorial in about 4 weeks.
David

Thanks for everyones reply's! Yall have been most help full. Currently our county operates off a conventional vhf analog system and it looks like we will be staying with that system for a while since we live in a rural part of the country. One thing that is a major plus about living in SC is the sta...

I don't mean to Hi-Jack this thread but I to would like to do something similar for my fire dept. We are in rural upstate SC, how do we go about finding who our frequency coordinator is? My main question has to do with the two types of licenses. We obviously fall under the public safety criteria but...

How would you determine if a radio is transmitting in 25 hz vs. 12.5? Any scientific method?

I to would be interested in a connector. If anyone on the forum has a ignition sense cable I would love to buy one form you. Just send me a pm.

Now correct me if I am wrong but when programing the XPR 4550 via usb cable the radio itself is actually assigned an ip address correct? I remember reading something about the radio and an ip address but am unsure how it is related. When you were sniffing was it simply sniffing the usb commands goin...

Well I bricked my MT2000 A7 using lab software when curiosity got the best of me. When my radio was bricked the only life it would show is a steady green LED status next to the antenna. Nothing else, I am guessing that is what your radio is doing now? Well thank fully I did the below steps outlined ...

I have two LIN4's on my truck. If you have not purchased them yet then, if you can afford it go with the LINZ6s or LIN3s. They are much brighter I was disappointed with the light output and intensity of mine.

I have a 2.2 GHz MacBook Pro and programing via XP, Bootcamp works flawlessly. From my experience XP runs better on a mac then it does on a dell. From my experience I would say that you should not have a problem with the RS-232 card but I can't say for sure.
