Any news on this? Has it been released?

Is it possible to easily reflash a low power (15w) Motorcycle rare 438-470R split from a W3 to a W4 without effecting the RF portion of the radio, ie keeping the RF side of the house OEM?

Thanks

W1HVN

Thanks. I may move the high power deck to the center if you did and it fits. I have one more mid power to squeeze in there. The VRS is gonna get moved elsewhere. As for power, ive got a 4 ga coming from battery through hole drilled with grommet through firewall driver side, to console where I go to ...

Began project in interfacing today. Testing handsets I purchased, have one that doesn't talk to the J-Box, other three do. Won't come out of connecting to digital radio please wait. Anyone have the manual on this? It's an L3223. ALso if anyone has software to create labels that would be helpful as w...

Prior to putting in our Quantar we for a long time ran a pair of GM300s which removed filtering and passed the digital stream and analog audio. See the thread in this forum on it. The subscriber radio does the decoding of pl and nac. A controller wws developed to emit a callsign with delay for activ...

W1HVN

Thanks! Interesting it shows detect audio in that schematic and rx audio from pin 7. Havent tried yet, been bogged down with "stuff". Hopefully very soon I will begin to play. Thanks so far to those who contributed. As a side question, if I can interface the 3208 and mc3000s from the secon...

Have some cabling to clean up and secure, other than that this is the install so far.

That's perfect. If anyone has a PDF of the page with the pinout for the db25s on the high power deck please advise.

Thanks.

Okay. Revisiting this thread for a new project. I'm looking to take a high power W9 Astro and pull Filtered Audio, PTT, Mic High, Ground, Programming serial data +/-, that would normally be present on the rear 15 pin of a mid power through jumpers, etc. When jumpers are moved as per this thread, whe...

Recently a new issue has arisen with a 25 watt VHF with v16 firmware silver Onan unit. This was a Dave in Colorado unit and is used in Amateur Service. In repeater mode configured for mixed mode and 15 watts output she randomly drops the transmitter. Receiver is working fine however the tx just drop...

W1HVN

Good advice, I'm looking at a GM OEM underseat storage box after your idea. They bolt with brackets to seat hardware, rather than aftermarket which have straps. I can use plywood on bottom of the box in the left and right larger areas, screw and adhesive to the brackets. Then I can screw the mountin...

Looking for suggestions on where to mount a few decks, two high power and one mid power. I'd like to mount them behind the rear seats on the back wall, but haven't taken apart to see if there are ribs or infrastructure to tap into, without of course going through outer body sheet metal. Other option...

W1HVN

Obviously do that while only one CH at a time is connected, correct? Then repeat process for each one, one at a time?

Thanks much.

Any VRS750 info or tips before I plug and play?

W1HVN

1. What is required to make a single head into a dual head XTL other than connecting the dual heads and remote cables, ign, etc? Just cps setup or something internal to the deck or flash? Any unique components? 2. Use of an xtl5k with a vrs750, anything required to be done to configure everything to...

W1HVN

Dave, what did you sweep? My apologies I couldn't tell by the post... Resurrecting an old post with new info. Finally did some sweeps on this thing. Sweeps show SWR and Return Loss. I put markers near 2:1 points on SWR to show bandwidth. I'm using on UHF and 800 right now through a TX-RX crossband c...

Anyone?

http://batboard.batlabs.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=100569 There you will find jumper config for rx audio, ptt, and your COR sense line will be the VRS tx pin, although I'm not sure what logic it uses, you may need to flip it or modify it for compatibility with your Quantar. For the love of Pete, do...

Simple question... Can a remote mount MCS2000 without a head attached be connected to the RCH2000 directly from DB25 radio connection and run with just the RCH, or does it need a head attached? Also, what changes can be made to a model 2 MCS2000 to make it a model three to play with an RCH (RCH need...

I've been told by a resource close to a major US emergency lighting manufacturer that now they go as far as sell the Chinese knockoffs with the US manufacturer logos molded into the housings like the 800 antennas above...

Ok, since last time I've programmed one from older CPS and firmware (I was way back in 12.xx.xx days) what's the deal?

Thanks Jeff and Jason.

Was going to send you a PM Jason, after reading some archived posts seemed you might know.

Happy 4th.

Can anyone confirm for me that a dash mount Astro Spectra with either an HLN6401A or 6401B interconnect board will accept a key from a KVL when loaded through mic jack? If my memory serves, the board must be one from the Astro and not the analog legacy Spectra. Need to confirm this is indeed the cas...

W1HVN

Anyone have the service manual for an XTVA or know where to tap the proper TX/RX audio and PTT to adapt to a Tone Term Panel? My initial guess is your usual RJ Mic Jack (Mic and PTT) and the line level audio molex connector (Receive Audio) going to the amplified speaker? However, i'm wishing to use ...

W1HVN

I tried one. The PTT button uses a rubber striker to hit the pc board ptt, it's too thick and after installing the case and having to glue the speaker in (yup, good stuff) the radio went Into TX when powered on. Had to cut down the rubber striker to get it rigged right, what a mess. I took it apart ...

W1HVN

Bingo. Crosstalk. Levels went back down to neg 10. Also one radio was seeing some reflected power, something that arose since we last checked and analyzed the antennas and lines, and that seemed to add insult to injury and amplify the anomaly. Hope this helps someone in the future who may see this. ...

W1HVN

There was something corrupt with the codeplug. Still unknown what, however a plug from a similar drawer's parameters we're imported and it seemed to clear the issue. I personally didnt put it on a monitor, someone else was kind enough, however wavetar I checked the output with the portable when it f...

W1HVN

Quantar is set to a unique NAC, all other subscriber units programmed same way, no issues. It's above the min freq of 146, I know below it may be cutting off the codec/stream, but it's above the min. Going to try and access another VHF machine with it to see what it does there. It's strange that it ...

Ok here's an interesting one for those up for a challenge, or just willing to help... Have an Astro Spectra High Power.

Looking to replace a pair of the ugly moto brown As Spec W9 control head plastic front faceplates with new BLACK plastic made more recently for the XTL series. Anyone have a part # I can use to order a pair?

Thanks

What are the options for a standard old fashioned twisted pair? Everything I've read seems to work with PBX type systems. I've looked at trbonet, smartptt, and of course our preference the ZTR Worldpatch 300. Silly question, but the patch is done under DMR not Analog, and when you configure the repe...

W1HVN

Will, Jim, etc... The problem ended up being something simple and overlooked. So happens for whatever reason, both radios had the "HUB defeats PL" option enabled for the radios. No mic was plugged into the radio when we were testing, and as such no audio came through unless the mic was gro...

After following the guidance provided on this thread, and associated threads of yesteryear, we got the following results on two seperate mid power radios: 1. When configuring JU 519 and 528 for Filtered audio (discriminator audio) as in the table above, NO audio was passed out of pin 11. Returning i...

W1HVN

Ok so same as regular Astro Spectra. I thought there might be some similarities with XTL pinouts, no such luck apparently.

While we're on this topic then, anyone know what jumper on the As Spec moves output audio on pin 11 (if memory serves) from unsquelch detected to filtered squelched?

Thanks.

W1HVN

Anyone with a service manual who can provide the pin functions/assignments on the 15 pin accessory connector of the Astro Spectra and/or Astro Spectra Plus? Thanks.

A standard width Havis will just about sit center of the mid seat area with the floor shifter, it may be just a tad bit right, but hardly noticable. Use the seat brackets with the track, then you can position the console as far left as possible. Test fitted on 2011 Silverado HD.

W1HVN

Worked like a charm. Thanks!

Case closed.

W1HVN

For clarification, when I say recognize, I mean program in the tone, it goes up to 1310 and down to 1285, won't allow anything in between as it defaults High or low.

Hope that helps to clarify.
