Hey Stan. Thanks for the good info. Thanks everyone for the help. Bill

Bill Rogers

Great info! No one speakes of the flat disc type like the Larsen so I guess it isn't as good as the previously mentioned types. I should have said that a lot of the time I would be in a fringe area. Thanks, Bill.

Bill Rogers

Sorry, forgot to say UHF. Very interesting results Stan. The MLVP doesn't claim any gain! I would like to hear more results from anyone. Thanks again, Bill.

Bill Rogers

Does anyone have any experience with substituting a low profile disc antenna like the Larsen Mirage for a unity gain 1/4 wave whip? Thanks, Bill.

Bill Rogers

WOW! Thanks for the advice guys. Bill.

Bill Rogers

Anyone else have experience with running one as a repeater? Only 30 watts sound right? Thanks, Bill.

Bill Rogers

Also should have said that it is a UHF remote mount A7 type head.

Bill Rogers

I would like to use a 110 watt Spectra as the transmitter for a repeater. I read through the previous discussions and am still trying to learn what to do. Does anyone know if the radio will have problems if turned down in output to say 60 watts? Any ideas on what higher output level might be ok assu...

Bill Rogers

The LS+ is what is available now and it has 160 conventional channels and the voice record board built in.

Bill Rogers

It says that you can edit pl/dpl codes for a select channel. It looks like either TX or RX can be changed. You scroll through the list or enter the digits directly from the optional DTMF mike (which came incorrectly wired from the big M) It uses the same programming cable as the Maxtrac. Bill.

I just set up a CM300 uhf for the first time and it is interesting. It decodes MDC ids and allows you to change pls and dpls through the menu on the radio. Even at the lowest settings the audio tones are loud. It has a variable backlight setting which is nice. I think for a small speaker it sounds g...

Bill Rogers

We have only tried midian once and transcrypt once. The Midian was used on an HT1250 and a CDM1550 and we had nothing but problems. (rolling code encryption). We then went to Transcrypt using an HT1250 and an HT1000 and it works really well! The Transcrypt was a little more but we would never go bac...

Bill Rogers

Wow. The PM400 looks simiilar to the CM300. Do you know the difference?

Bill Rogers

Here is a picture. It is on the right.

Bill Rogers

Greetings. Has anyone tried the new CM300 radio yet? I'd like to get any opinions on it. Thanks, Bill

Bill Rogers

Thanks Nand. As always, Your the man! Bill

Bill Rogers

Greetings. You got my interest going about the IDs on the display. Is there a way on the Maxtracs to have any letters show up on the dislpay instead of numbers? I just tried it and had no luck. Thanks, Bill.

Bill Rogers

Has anyone had any success with the Midian rolling code encryption stuff? Thanks, Bill

Bill Rogers

Greetings. They istalled the plug in matching modules. They had to add some additional wiring though. It got messed up because it affected the audio quality on all channels even ones with no rolling
code turned on. We had trouble turning it on and off. It became useless. Bill

Bill Rogers

Hi. We had a local radio shop try to outfit our CDMs and HTs with Midian rolling code modules but they couldn't get them working well. The shop called Midian and they said that they would work better if we had the radios firmware upgraded. Any ideas on other encryption boards that might work better ...

Bill Rogers

Can anyone give the link to Talley? Sounds interesting. Thanks, bill

Bill Rogers

Thanks Nand. I'll check it out. bill

Bill Rogers

Greetings. I have 2 GM300s that both have the same problem. After they warm up they get distorted and seem to drift off frequency on both transmit and receive. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any advice. Bill

Bill Rogers

Thanks Charlie. Do you think it comes with the voice storage board which used to be an option? Bill

Bill Rogers

Thanks Charlie. Can you tell me any other new features? Looks like 160 channels also. I'm not sure of the price but it's around $750 with DTMF mike and remote mount kit. Bill

Bill Rogers

I ordered 2 UHF CDM1550s today and was told that Motorola only uses CDM1550LS models now. Anyone have the same experience?

Bill Rogers

We have many UHF CDM 1550s and sometimes the screen flashes "synth unlock" briefly during normal operation. Never figured out what it means but it doesn't last. Bill

Bill Rogers

We have 2 units that our radio shop has been trying to get to work with rolling code by Midian. Nothing but problems. I 'm sure there must be others out here who have had success. Bill

Bill Rogers

Hi Guys. What about leaving the radio in receive while in the charger? Bill

Bill Rogers

I think you guys are wonderful and helpful. I would like to send a $ contribution to the board. Can someone tell me who to send it to. I know it's on here somewhere. Thanks, Bill Rogers

Bill Rogers

Yeah, that alert tone volume offset is a nice feature on the CDM1550 but not in the RSS for the Maxtrac. It's just odd that this particular Maxtracs tone is so much louder than all the others we have. Bill

Bill Rogers

Hey Will. Thanks for the help again! Bill

Bill Rogers

I have 2 friends with the radios. They work well. I wanted one until I was advised that the thin battery available didn't last very long. With the regular battery the unit is rather fat for my liking. I like the feel of the HT1250 better. Bill

Bill Rogers

Greetings. I have a maxtrac with a louder than normal sidetone coming out of the speaker with MDC activated. Does anyone know of an adjustment for this loudness in this model? Thanks, Bill

Bill Rogers

Thanks Larry and Will. I just tie 2 radios together as a low powered relay or as a link radio to a repeater. They sound like a good choice. Thanks, Bill

Bill Rogers

I have always used Maxtracs, Radius and GM300s to make little repeaters with the 16 pin connectors. Can the same be done with the M120s? They seem less expensive. If so, are they as good for that type of setup? Thanks, Bill

Bill Rogers

Thanks. Tessco is the only supplier that I have used. I see a listing from Marketronics with a noticably cheaper price. Any other thoughts out there? Thanks, Bill

Bill Rogers

Hello. Can anyone suggest a supplier that has the best price on this item? Thanks, Bill

Bill Rogers

462 MHz.......

Bill Rogers

This gets more complicated. I know that I could use a folded dipole for an elliptical pattern. I am trying to not only max out on the highways but have some 'off the side' yagi rejection, in a specific direction, to cut down on interference to another repeater. Getting crazy?

Bill Rogers

You people are great!....... They will be vertical for the purpose of covering down 2 main highways. I will be using a phasing harness tuned for the frequency. What about 4 yagis (3 phasing harnesses)? That would be to cover 4 highways in 4 directions.
Thanks, Bill

Bill Rogers

Can anyone tell me if I can run a yagi or stacked yagis on a duplexed UHF repeater as opposed to an omni? Thanks, Bill

Bill Rogers

Thank for the info Todd.........

Bill Rogers

I returned a piece of car stereo equipment, insured through the USPS and it was lost. Took months for the insurance check but it arrived. Bill

Bill Rogers

Thanks again Alex! Bill

Bill Rogers

Greetings, If an HT1250 has been programmed with 6.01.00 software, does that mean that I cannot reprogram it with 5.00.00?
Thanks, Bill

Bill Rogers

Thank you also, Bill.

Bill Rogers

Hey Alex. Works just like you said. Thanks for the help, Bill

Bill Rogers

WOW. Thanks Alex. I was doing everything in the software, setting up the scan list. It forced channel one to be priority scan. I never tried it from the front of the radio. I will try that later. Thanks, Bill
