I'd still like to catch up with Nick Deluca and beat my $8,300.00 out of him!

I heard a rumor that their is JEDI software floating around that is Windows Based. Supposedly a HAM operator made it up...anyone know of this? I along with everyone else would love to get my hands on it.

PS It's been about 4 years since I posted anything!

Oh yeah it's a dashmount 500mhz radio with Smartzone and it everything else works fine other than that.

Hello all, I have an Astro Spectra that wont transmit past 15 seconds. It gives you a steady tone until you let go of the mic. I have all trunking personality TOT set for infinite and all conventional personalities set for infinite also. It acts the same on trunking and conventional channels and doe...

HOWARD

Good point, I geuss it was something that just annoyed me! I'll leave the stickers alone.

HOWARD

Thanks PJ, you just saved me from checking for a printed version on the board! The radio works good, so I'll leave well enough alone and peel the sticker off of the outside so it doesn't look suspicious. Anyway, thanks for answering my questions.
Howard

HOWARD

Which one of the boards contains the serial number? Just some mumbo jumbo about aligning to spec and testing perfromance.

HOWARD

I recently bought a used Astro Spectra and noticed the Serial Number in the CPS doesn't match the Serial number on the case...which leads me to believe the S/N can somehow be changed...any idea how? This radio was recently sent to Depot (paperwork came with radio) Where is the serial number actually...

HOWARD

Contact Motorola and request the CPS license agreement, fill it out and return it. About 10 days later order the CPS, they will check to see if your license is on file and if it is you get charged for either 1 or 3 years worth of updates. I had absolutly no problem at all getting any Astro stuff inc...

HOWARD

We had the adapter on our Ruggedized Astro Sabers at work and the antenna doesn't seat right because it's the wrong antenna for the mic. I don't know the model number but the right antenna has a slightly longer post and a flared rubber piece at the bottom. I ran into the same problem and never knew ...

whats an ht-6090?

HOWARD

so all it takes is one kid on an FRS radio in his basement to set the entire district up by faking some call on the air? wow. I was thinking the same thing. With all the grants available to schools for safety, you would think they had something a little better. Of course they may also be using thes...

HOWARD

I don't like the audio quality with the companding turned on (full compression). In short I set the compression to AGC mode and found that on the fire-ground with alot of back ground noise this works the best. AGC also sounds better when talking with a mask on than having compression mode disabled. ...

HOWARD

The older radios have the key/dekey selection and most of the newer ones say pre/post.

HOWARD

Most radios have the option of keying up before, after or both. The Jedi series, the Astro radios, the Pro Series all key up that way.

Nice work ScannerDan!

Way back when I first dealt with Nick he told me he was in the repair business and started rebuilding radios with parts. He quoted me prices on just about anything Motorola builds.

I recieved an email from Nick Deluca over some other issues and while I had contact with him, I asked him about his customer records and according to him: Motorola didn't get any customer information from him...he left no paper trail at all.

HOWARD

I'm not a huge Nick Deluca fan because of bad business dealing, however give credit where it's due. The man figured a way out to do what allot of us would do if we could. Motorola with all their high paid lawyers and deep pockets went up against Nick and the best they could do was force him stop bui...

HOWARD

I'm still owed money by Nick Deluca and already have an attorney working on the case. Enough said about that. The quality of every Nick Deluca built radio I've seen has been every bit as good as Motorola's radios. One of our radios was a Nick special that worked fine until it was dropped off of a 3 ...

The XTS 3500 and XTS5000 both have better receive than the AS3. Check out the published specs. (and yes, I have tested these). I'd check your front end alignment if it is a UHF radio. Also make sure you are testing in band since the AS3 may have a wider front end than the XTS. George, you're correct...

HOWARD

I own both an XTS and an AS-3 and side by side in poor areas the AS3 works and the XTS just give the out of range signal. As for size, do want one too thick or too tall? I prefer the AS3 with the short battery, I can throw it in back pocket and prefer the way it feels in my hand; it's just to bad it...

HOWARD

I have 3 of the Watchbuddy / Apco25 radios and after getting the first one I had the County check the serial numbers through NCIC and they came up clear. (standard practice) I then called Motorola gave them the serial number and had them check the radios and they said none were reported stolen. And ...

HOWARD

I have had mine for several weeks and like it, I can keep the radio in my radio pocket and not worry about the air pack straps interfering with access. It works fine on the XTS-3000 and although their is a section in the RSS for a HHCH I have not looked at it, I just connected it and started using i...

HOWARD

With all do respect, what did you expect for $450.00? You thought the guy didn't know what he was selling and thought you were going to pull one over on him and instead you got what you paid for. If I saw an add in the paper that said old Chevy for sale $500.00, I wouldn't expect to get a mint 53 Co...

HOWARD

I bought an XTS 3000 Type 3 from Nick and got the same treatment, very slow to respond to Email at first but he delivered an excellent radio and after the initial contact problems everything went smooth...I i will deal with Nick in the future.
Howard

HOWARD

What version of RSS/CPS are you using? Thier is an option for displays and something like display MDC ID needs to be activated. I'm not looking at the Software right now but give me the version and I'll tell you how to do it.

HOWARD

Hi, it's been a while.
2 questions:
Anyone have experience using a Knox Box system with the Astro Spectra?
How did you hook it up?
Were going to use Analog simplex mode for the Knox Box activation and want to here from anyone else using it.

Anyone make a battery higher than the 1800 maH Motorola Original? I work for the Airforce and they have a whole fleet of them in the FD with the majority of the batteries due for replacement. I hate to recommend Motorola Batteries because latley they don't seem to last versus the aftermarket. Any co...

HOWARD

You can't. Although several large Motorola dealers that advertise on the internet are doing it and getting away with it.
Howard

HOWARD

Did it all of a sudden start doing this or was like this when you got it? I had an Astro Saber with a bad flash code (hacked) and it caused that problem.
Howard

HOWARD

Why would you use the RSS under a DOS window? It clearly states in the RSS Manual the minimum computer requirements and the software should only be run in DOS mode. Moslo seems to allow the really slow programs to run but it usually wont allow the reading or writing of the radio (my experience anywa...

HOWARD

Ok on a P-4 1.5

HOWARD

I'll have to try that I didn't know they would go 16 channels
cool

HOWARD

Unfortunatly the Astro Spectra's don't like too go out of band. I use a 500 mhz Astro Spectra and tried to get it to recieve on 460mhz and I could get the software to accept the frequency but the radio would not recieve it. No luck with the VHF Astro Spectras either.
Howard

HOWARD

What type of Astro? Saber, XTS or Spectra

HOWARD

Wow their is hope!

HOWARD

If the license was not filled out properly and signed it will be denied, and as far as I know their is only one person to approve the RSS licensing. I have 4 subscriptions and have had no problem at all. The CDM/HT series was a little different they wanted serial numbers from the radios I intended t...

HOWARD

Their's that damn HHCH!

HOWARD

Yep, all were sent back to Tessco. BatteryZone batteries seem to work good and out-last the Motorola batteries.

HOWARD

I'm waiting for the XTS 3500 software to come out in the Windows version. Now that i'm used to this CPS format I like it. Hopefully they upgrade the rest of the product line.
Howard

HOWARD

Now that was quick, I haven't taken it out of the box yet but who knows what problems it fixes or features it adds.
Howard

HOWARD

The "Pro" Series are the Export version of the CDM radio. Same radio less money.
Howard

HOWARD

I never heard of an Astro Spectra decoding MDC. Hello, Elroy can you answer this one? As far as stepping down the Maxtrac and the GM-300 is virtually the same radio. If you need the MDC Id display and Alpha numeric consider a CDM 1250 or a Pro 5100. http://members.aol.com/crobbinsnc/promobile.html J...

HOWARD

Get a GM-300 it's easier to take out of band...and my 1250 (7150) works equally good on pre and post ID. I'm still not sold on these radios yet, though.
