Hi, everyone. I've got some NOS NNTN6034A batteries that are apparently so low in voltage that the IMPRES charger won't actually initialize them. I've tried a bunch of times so far but each of the batteries goes from steady flashing yellow for a few minutes to rapid flashing red. I've read that if I...

Hi, everyone. I used to interchange my APX speaker mic with my XPR portable when I was bouncing back and forth between agencies. I wanted to know if anyone has a definitive list of the APX speaker-mics that work fully with the XPR line?

EindhovenOne

Can someone tell me definitively whether or not an APX radio that DOES NOT have the "Q507 - 12.5 kHz FCC Mandate" will allow a conventional channel to be programmed with 25 kHz spacing throughout its entire operating frequency range?

Thank you for your time!

Hello, all. So we had an APX8K that we thought was lifted from one of our vehicles maliciously so I inhibited it. Turns out it was just taken by the wrong person and not properly accounted for so all is well. Uninhibited it without issue and it is working fine except now there's no power-up tone eve...

Hello, all. The Waris series is very familiar to me but I have never come across this problem before. My coworker gave me his VHF HT1250 and told me it was shutting off whenever he transmits. I have it in my possession and it is doing exactly that. Whether I use the PTT on the radio itself or on the...

EindhovenOne

I am surprised you didn't get a reply to this already. On the radio unit itself, there are two plugs. One where the remote head cable plugs in, and another that is a standard USB Type B plug (like the almost square one but with beveled corners - usually come with printers). All you need is a USB-B t...

I'll never understand why they have it setup like they do. It is really goofy because all of our portables are XTS2500's flashed for Smartzone and digital trunking, and they neighboring town has had an 800MHz analog Smartzone system in place for years and years but nobody does the smart thing and s...

My part time job runs a conventional 800MHz system which really isn't ideal for the layout of the town. There are some drastic elevation changes and the site of the tower is further not ideal. This is a police department in a decently populated town and we are pretty busy. This question was asked t...

EindhovenOne

Even if you could, why would you want to? The PA isn't built for that, the radio isn't certified for that, you will dramatically increase power consumption, and you aren't going to dramatically increase performance even if you double the power (that's 3dB). My part time job runs a conventional 800M...

Hey, all. As the title suggests, I was wondering if there was any way to mod the XTS series 800MHz radios to TX at higher than 3W? Is this software controlled somewhere in the codeplug or the CPS or is it hardware limited? I am comfortable modifying codeplugs and hex-editing the codeplugs/CPS if nee...

EindhovenOne

Do you have one for sale and if so what is the cost, sir? Also, this isn't the smaller size (kinda mini) RSM like the PMMN4025A is it? I'm in Canada, so best to check with one of the US sellers like escomm You could also post a "Wanted to Buy" add in the Buy/Sell section. I will do, sir! ...

EindhovenOne

I have only tried it on a XPR7550. It's simply a high/low volume switch. Not a volume ramp up/volume ramp down switch that allows you full control of the radio volume.

I just received a newly released microphone for the APX. It might be what you're looking for. It looks the same as the mic on the left. It has a volume Hi/Low toggle on the top, Orange top button, one programmable side button and a 3.5 MM earjack . part# PMMN4099A. Made for the APX, but seems to wo...

Here is the error message when connected to the XPR7550. I've noted the same when trying to u...

EindhovenOne

Thank you very much for your replies and your insight. I looked at the 4103 and 4104 as well and the only reason I didn't consider them was because I didn't want to start pressing my luck as far as hoping all of those additional features (display and channel knob) were also compatible with the XPR. ...

EindhovenOne

Do you own a 4101 or 4103? The myriad of pictures online of it from stock photos don't really give me an idea of how big it is in comparison to other mics so I was just curious.

EindhovenOne

Gotcha. So do you think that the 4101 will actually work with the XPR7550? When I put the 4046 on the APX6000 I even tried reprogramming some of the accessory button functions to make sure they all worked and they did every time. What is even more curious is that in the XPR CPS where I would program...

EindhovenOne

I did read that but I am ok with that because I will just buy the earpiece/plug specific to the 4101. IIRC it is 8mm???

EindhovenOne

Hey, all. I've been away for a while but I am glad to see that everyone is still fighting the good fight. At work we have a mix of XTS2500's, XPR7550's, and APX6000's. Currently I am using an XPR7550 with a PMMN4046A speaker mic. The reason I like this RSM so much is because it has the volume contro...

kato, AA is the North American version radio so if you have the US software you should be good to go...unless I am missing something?

EindhovenOne

If you don't need to save any of the codeplug data that is currently in the radio, I do have the factory tool that resets the codeplug to default. I would be willing to handle this for you at no cost and you just cover the shipping both ways. It is the eaiest and safest alternative to the hex editin...

What firmware is your 5K? IIRC there are several issues with Astro 25 HOSTS of various generations not playing nice with IIi controllers.

Hello, all. Looking to take an XTS5k from model III to model II because I won't need the keypad and I like the look of the II better (less clutter) other than the case and rubber keypad, and looking at the parts diagram, it seems that the only other thing needed is part 2685567D02 which is the actua...

That's where I thought it should be as well, but it is definitely not there. Latest CPS and latest FW on the radio. No matter what button I assign to "Monitor" I just get the default "donk" sound like it is unprogrammed...?!?!!

I posted the following in another similar post about v17...I made the change as specified in the v17 thread, but only my priority monitor list increased to 15, not my talkgroup list. Any suggestions?

I know this has been inactive for a while, but I just used Wireshark with the latest CPS and I recovered the password with ease. Thanks to all for the suggestions and tips along the way!

Yeah I have the InterOp onboard...full FLASHcode is 581018-00148C-3. -E

Mine is definitely 7BN...MOL opened a case and I am waiting to hear back but I wanted to get everyone's input because I am stumped. Is the 8MB of memory on the RF board itself or is it separate and somewhere else in the radio?

It is definitely rebanding compliant but why would that limit the channels? My other radios are all rebanding compliant but they all say 870 channels.

Indeed they are, sir. Confirmed through both service mode and bootloader mode. -E

Thanks for all the input everyone. The serial comes out to June '93 so hopefully it made the cut for rebanding. Now...my next question is since this makes the cutoff for not being toolproofed, what can I play with using Depot/Lab?

If you don't care that you will lose whatever channels you have in the radios, I can fix both of them. PM me if you are interested and we can work out the details.

What model do you have (1, 1.5, 2 or 3) ?

EindhovenOne

henry, in the "General" tab under "Radio Configuration">>>"Radio Wide", go to the Time Format drop down menu and select "Disable" then write back to the radio and you'll be good to go.

EindhovenOne

escomm you remember correctly, sir. The man down button doesn't emulate anything else that the top button might be programmed for on the radio in the CPS other than Man Down itself. All of my RSM's are the 5038 and I wish it could take on whatever I program the radio to do but it's a no go.

EindhovenOne

Sweet deal thank you, sir!
