Not knowing what type of interface cable you have makes things difficult. This video may help shed some light. I haven’t tried this config but it’s a starting point. The cable you purchased should have come with some directions. May be worth reaching out to the seller for some. https://m.youtube.com...

Hi Stryk1, If you’re not getting any rx into the cdm, then the basic freq n pl programming of the rx radio is off or the subscriber radio transmitting in isn’t programmed correctly. Without posting codeplugs for the cdms and subscriber, there’s a lot of missing information to be able to quickly dril...

When was the radio last tuned and aligned?

The O5 doesn’t have a speaker. Are you talking about the O2?

Have you looked in the audio profile that you’re using?

Copy. Also using excel as a landing pad to help organize everything works pretty well for copying n pasting in and out of apx. The import and export of the XML files is also helpful. You can move things around pretty quickly once you get the hang of it, far faster with less errors than the old hunt ...

200 conventional personalities is a LOT. I know the APX Migration tool loves to make a mess out of a APX codeplug. Idk if that’s how you ended up with 200 personalities or not but that’s what came to mind. Quite likely you can shrink down the personalities and cluster them by Analog, mixed mode, P25...

You need to enable fpp in radio wide and in the zone. I’d recommend a dedicated conv personality for fpp per transmission type ie analog, mixed mode, P25, so you don’t have todo as much work in real-time when fpping. Also need to add a fpp button in the menu. Should also mention, if you’re not seein...

C17LVFD

You need to mirror pretty closely the buttons between conventional n Trunking otherwise this happens. Those buttons change on a per channel basis. So if you put scan as the top button choice it’ll show as the furthest left soft button on an O5, but only on channels where scan is setup. If no scan is...

Personally, I run the Waris software on 32 vs 64 bit OS as it’s older software. I’ve had mixed success running Waris on 64 so I stick with 32 bit.

Good luck with the process.

I’ve used a 29,30,31 for programming with good results, but it’ll also depend on what software you’re speaking about which I don’t believe you specified.

I personally prefer more screen real estate for programming but they work well in the field.

Very nice! Glad u got it to work.

I run my quantar software on a win7 32 bit os. I’ve had trouble with 64 bit operating systems with some of the older software. Running in compatibility mode won’t fix this. Might need to dual boot your computer and load a 32bit os to run it. Same holds true for the Astro mobile n portable software. ...

Yes MDC is standard. In display, the show id has to be enabled. In the personality, the personality has to be referenced to the ID list. Last, you need the unified call list setup and referencing the various IDs within the call list. Truthfully it’s a PITA to get everything setup properly. I think t...

I can confirm at least on the 8000 marine channels can be in 5kHz with the mandate. Haven’t tried HAM freqs.

Chris, MPL is enabled on a personality level with a checkbox per frequency line something like user defined PL. it’s before you set ur PLs in each frequency line. This grays out the PL/DPLs. Then MPL shows up on a channel by channel basis in the soft keys for those channels that have it enabled. As ...

If it’s a Astro Spectra Plus you’ll need ASTRO25 Mobile CPS. Terminal revision is R20.01.00. It’ll run on Windows 10 64bit. You will need a different programming cable than the regular Astro Spectras. It is HKN6155B.

Astro Spectra CPS is terminal at R05.03.00

I run it on Win 7 32bit with no problems.

I know there has been an update to the impres firmware since 3.9. Might try a charger with current firmware. Can’t remember the current version off the top of my head but it is on MOL.

Good Luck,

Have you tried conditioning the batteries in an impres charger?

Is the scan list linked to the respective personalities in your conventional or Trunking system(s)?

I have a Getac tablet for running APX and astro25 as a backup to my primary laptop while traveling. Mine came with a native serial port. Don’t use it much as it’s more difficult to navigate than a traditional laptop but it’s saved me on more than one occasion. Just an example: https://www.ebay.com/i...

Is the radio rebanding checked in the General Trunking tab of the radio?

I’m not aware of a OTA removal of ASK. They have to go into each radio and remove the Trunking system and ask write protect with their ASK loaded into the computer that’s writing the radio. If they’ll give you an ask, so you can remove them yourself all the better, just get detailed instructions on ...

C17LVFD

The radios have been bitten with an advanced system key which needs to be removed before you can do anything with them.

They should contact NOAA and see who exactly used these and what system they were on. Maybe they can get the system admin the radio were on to remove the ASK.

Respectfully,
Seth

Have you tried deleting the ID out of the system and re-entering it into the provisioning manager? Idk what updates have done, but I experienced this same thing on a type II system and the only way it was rectified was pulling the ids completely off the system and then re-entering them. Also had one...

As I understand it you need ADP loaded into the mace as a hardware encryption algorithm not software. Can’t run software and hardware encryption simultaneously as I understand it. Additionally you’ll need the ADP algo loaded into the KVL4k as a optional algorithm if Moto will still do it. Unsure of ...

I just check a xts2500 1.5 I have and it does have the channel announcement feature in the flash. Can’t speak to one that doesn’t as to whether it would work or not. I’d be inclined to believe not based on mine having the feature in the flashcode. At this point there isn’t any legal way to upgrade t...

C17LVFD

It’s a flash option.
Q446 is the feature. If it’s not in the feature set it won’t work. Motorola is not longer selling flash upgrades to my knowledge.

Good Luck,

Look for display and menu in the controls section of the tree. Menu is where you add and remove the soft keys.

Hope this helps,

I tried moving the splits around one time in engineering mode. As I recall it didn't take the numbers or wouldn't receive. I don't believe they're a SDR device.

I did find several monitors on eBay in the 33 split. Cheapest was about 80 bucks.

Good luck!
Seth

Are the personalities linked to the radio zone and associated Alias's?

Seth

David, Lancaster and Dauphin both operate the S split not the Q split. Lancaster is almost completely encrypted and I believe Dauphin is mostly encrypted. Idk how much mileage you'll get out of your scanner. Best of luck with your trip to the mid-Atlantic. Both I believe simulcast their fire dispatc...

On th commercial side the Anytone 868 UV seems from my standpoint to be a decent VHF/UHF unit. I had hoped the Alience HD-1 would be decent but I haven't been impressed. If anyone has a better analog/DMR option please put it out there.

What revision firmware do you have? The latest firmware 20.50.09 allows you to delete all but the first zone with 16 personalities and then have the 17th and on setup as you would the normal non-fpp xts5k.

Works well. Good luck!

C17LVFD

Is the hardware encryption enabled in CPS? They're a checkbox to do this. If it's not checked, keyloader wont recognize it. I haven't heard of a APX not being able to take a key from kvl3000.

Good luck,
Seth

C17LVFD

Update for you. Just literally had to do this.

Open excel. Change document type to xml to open. Excel should open it.

Good luck!
Seth

C17LVFD

I believe you can change the type of file you export to .csv or xls with the export procedure. I'm not in front of the CPS currently but that's to the best of my recollection.

Good luck!

To the best of my knowledge it's a different TIB from a W5 but I could be wrong.

O5 And O3 use the same head but the W series I believe has a specific TIB for the W3. Same holds true for the Astro spectra.

Sorry don't have a part number for you.

Good Luck,
Seth

Thank you for that information. I do find it strange that Motorola would sell me a flash upgrade that ultimately won't work.
