Batboard

Hi,

Would anyone have a PDF manual handy for these controllers?

There aren't any emergency-specific audio level adjustments, you are reliant on the volume control unless you set "Fixed Volume" and "Volume Offset" levels under the 'General Settings'. You need to be in 'Expert View' to view them. Unfortunately, they also affect other tones, suc...

I recently purchased a d51 with an hlb4107a rf board in it (trying to go to 6m ham frequencies with it). I have tried to use radmbl 7.02 and 8.0. I keep getting an invalid opcode on the pc config screen either that or a "radio must be powered on" error, even when it is. I've tried changin...

I'd start here:

I don't really see why they are gathering dust if they pass the test with the option unchecked? Unless the feature itself isn't working properly in the field when checked?

That said, if the situation is what fineshot outlined, you can add additional subscriber capacity licences in blocks of 500, for not too much additional cost.

Awesome, thanks for updating us with the solution!

I can confirm the Motorola offering is in fact the PCTEL antenna. I can't speak to real life performance, I don't have any experience with them yet.

FYI, PCTel also offers no ground plane antennas. We have found the 700MHz version to work very well:

I presume these are the regular analog CP200, and not the digital CP200d?

If analog, the best you can do is to point each of the other 10 channels to a scan list with channel 11 in it, and enable auto scan so the users can't turn it off.

Are you using either the RLN4853 Adapter or the AARKN4083 Programming Cable, to interface into the accessory connector, along with the HLN9742 Flash Adaptor?

Are you interfacing to it via the 'internal LAN' port?

Yes when they were just digital it worked fine. They where using a XPR8300 repeater and XPR6350 radio, now they are using a SLR5700 repeater with XPR3500e radios. When they were using the old stuff everything worked fine now that everything is new intermittingly one radio will tx the other radio wi...

I believe I've seen posts from a couple of people here to say they have done it on a production system...Bill_G comes to mind. Myself, I experimented with running IPSC over LTE, and found it to work quite well during my testing. Of course, the stronger the LTE signal, the better, even for things lik...

Hi Bill, 6.08.00 was the last DOS based version of the MTS RSS (Radio Service Software). 2.03.00 was the last Windows based version of the CPS (Customer Programming Software). If the radio has really old firmware in it, like 5.xx or lower, the Windows CPS will not work with it, as it was developed a...

What's the pricing on a 1000 look like for comparison? If it's not that different than the 900 then I'm very confused as to why the two radios exist separately. + 1 The baseline pricing in eCAT is identical, and the common options pricing is identical. 900 gives you AES capability, 5-line display (...

Pretty much guaranteed it's a dirty/worn volume control. You can try & spray some contact cleaner in through the seams of the control, and where the shaft goes in, and fully spin the control completely one way & the other a number of times. Then resolder the volume connections. This will oft...

Any advice on where to start with this? Yes, choose a different radio. Transmitting low speed packet data via radio requires a 'flat' (no filtering or emphasis applied) TX input at the accessory connector (or a means to inject it somewhere that accomplishes the same thing), which doesn't exist on t...

I would say it is as well, and it lines up with the fact they both offer single key software AES.

Just FYI, the emergency receive cadence OP is looking for is not part of the 15 default alert tones. I believe it's generated from the VPM, so it'd have to be a recording off the speaker jack or similar. If no one has it I'll see about getting one recorded from our system and post a link to it, if ...

What TX level is the MIP box putting out? Is the MTR2000 co-located, or is this being done over leased lines? Standard desired level going into the MTR wireline would be -10 dBm. If co-located, the MIP side likely needs to be turned down, it's probably set for 0 dBm. For your 'quick TX' problem, fir...

A little more detail would be nice, such as what APX model you are using, what make/model of mic you are trying, whether or not you had an existing accessory that paired correctly, etc.

That is what I said, yes.

Is that from the online decoder? Not sure if it properly decodes all APX options. I'd be curious to see a screenshot of the Codeplug Featureset Screen from CPS, for comparison's sake.

What's new in the BN/enhanced models? Since the APX8000 form factor was the same as the AX6000, it made sense from a manufacturing standpoint for Motorola to use the same, newer hardware in both platforms, and firmware limit the APX6000 to a single band. So now it's wi-fi capable, bluetooth 4.0 com...

When I was at APCO close to three years ago, the Motorola folks told me they were working on a P25 pager, in response to the Unication product. However, haven't heard a peep about it since! Not sure if they were blowing smoke, or if it just died during the exploratory R&D phase.

I don't know where the cut-off was, but I believe only very early firmware versions of the 'X' series worked with the hidden channel scanning trick, on Astro25 systems.

Gatekeep may very well be right, since a delay circuit would require power from somewhere. If so, jumpering pins 10 & 13 in the Chinese RX cable end *should* fix it, as that's where the switched V+ is in the CDM. It is also Pin 13 in Maxtracs, but they may have gone with the first pin they found...

If it works properly in 'regular' mode, but still unmutes in scan mode, try checking off "carrier detect required" in the Scan Wide screen. Not sure if it will make a difference as the help isn't very detailed on it, but it may.

Try it with the Sel Call, and your unmuting rule set to "AND". Try it both in and out of scan mode to see if it reacts differently.

100% agree with Bill on this. Your antenna is way too close, not enough isolation. The duplexer could be doing it's job perfectly, but your antenna radiating so close is effectively causing the repeater to see enough RF on it's receiver, with proper PL/DPL, to think it's a valid signal. If completel...

The answer is yes. You can mix conventional and trunked in the same zone with one caveat: You can't scan the trunked and non-trunked together. Sure you can, you just need to set the 'Scan Type' to "Talkgroup", and check off the "Multi System Scan" checkbox in the General tab. We...

The only pin I'm aware of is Pin 8, when you program the "car radio mute" option in the CPS. However, it also trips on carrier detect as well.

One day the Impres battery charges OK...but the next day the charger will not charge the battery....flashing red light What has changed? Why is the charger rejecting the battery?

I haven't looked into the mechanisms behind it, but the new 'Impres2' marketing materials indicate a 40% increase in overall battery cycles for Impres2 LiON batteries when paired with an Impres2 charger, compared to 'standard' LiON batteries and chargers...so there are apparent advantages despite wh...

The USB data pins are 1 & 2, and ground is any number of pins. See image below:

Thanks guys. The batteries I had left showed about 4.5 standing volts. After charging about 15 minutes and getting some voltage into them I was able to get them to go steady yellow (only about 5 min.) then went to steady Red. I'm guessing standing voltage on these 3 year old batteries was too littl...

If it just flashes several times then does a full red cycle, it means the batteries were discharged to the point that the charger couldn't discharge them any further, and so it put them through a full rapid charge cycle.

Re: Pro CPS 6.12.09 hack Ah, gotcha.

Ah, gotcha.

I've done a number of direct back to back TRBO-to-other radio set ups and haven't ran across any issues with syllables being cut off, etc. I really like using the XPR mobiles even on the analog side, since you can turn off AGC and control the analog & digital rear accessory mic gains on both sid...

Not sure which method you're referring to from 2012? The one I'm referring to is simply modifying 4 lines of CPS code. Plus once you write the codeplug into the radio with the modified CPS, it can still be programmed out of band even with unmodified CPS...the fields show as red because the CPS knows...

As far as I know, none of the MotoTRBO repeater models have ever had the accessory connector programmable I/O pins do much of anything in digital mode, including the carrier/talkgroup detect. It does work in digital in the mobiles, which is what the CPS help is referring to, since it's the same CPS ...

There was a procedure posted on P25.ca when it existed, which i assume you are referring to since it detailed the rui41.dll mod to make the bandsplit info fields editable as part of it. Do a search in proradio.exe for two instances of "75 58" and one instance of "75 60". Their of...

Drag N Drop is good, especially when you are transferring specific items from one radio to another. If you're transferring pretty much everything (button configs, menu items, display settings, audio profiles, etc, etc) from one to another, the Import/Export feature is the way to do it. There are a f...

You can patch them without using the 'patch' key if you set their talkgroups to be 'non-regroupable', but then you utilize two repeaters at each site instead of one.
