Can you elaborate more on the proper settings for Astro25? I am currently using PID key management with 7 DES keys.

NSPD

I have a mix of Astro25 and APX portables and mobiles that I am currently keyloading DES-XL and DES-OFB with a T3011DX. I now have a need to also be able to load additional AES keys with a KVL3000+ from someone else. Is there a way to set up the radios so that I can do this? Thus far I have only eve...

NSPD

Thanks for the suggestions... I will do some research on these!

My agency is getting ready to deploy about 900 APX6000 Model 2.5 radios in the next few months. We have discussed getting some labels made to fit the recessed space below the directional keys that has our agency logo and contact information to identify our radios and give people a number to call if ...

Someone on the board here was nice enough to give it to me since they knew I collected /\/\ gear but I have never used it and I don't know if it works. The battery is toast as are the rest of the Genesis radios in my collection. Mine does not have a DTMF pad and just has a channel knob with 6 positi...

I have a Radius P500 in my collection... H25RFD51A3AN... 6 channels. It's an 800mhz P200 as far as I can tell with a Jedi-style antenna connector.

NSPD

I will find out when i finish programming, all I have is a T3011DX. FWIW I can keyload my APX's with the T3011DX so I wouldn't think it would be an issue.

NSPD

Thanks for the info... I figured it was something weird like that.

NSPD

I don't know about never get better but you will definitely never get more. Fantom Dynamics has been working on a phone case multiband radio for a long time now, but their newest rendition leaves a lot to be desired IMHO. I can't see anyone actually using it. Why not just go with regular radios? Pic...

NSPD

Also just to rule it out... I don't see any indications of a Sierra Module in the service menu or CPS... That was my first concern.

Any chance you have one of the mystical XTS/XTL MACE's? I remember on P25.ca they claimed that such a beast existed.

Your guess is as good as mine.. It only has DES-XL and DES-OFB. Host/DSP is 11 so it's older.

NSPD

What is the latest Astro25 UCM Firmware? I was thinking it was R05.07.xx

But....

I just picked up one of these ex-DC Police XTS5000's on ebay and it has DES-XL/OFB. The UCM Firmware is showing to be R07.11.10 both in test mode and in CPS.

NSPD

I really appreciate your input and that is good information for the future...

I think this radio is going back where it came from. I don't have the tools to deal with the issue without damaging the radio.

NSPD

I don't have the tools to get into the radio unfortunately.

Anyone ever had a problem with a loose control top on an APX7000 non/XE model? If I press up on the volume control side with my thumb there is about 1/4" of flex exposing the internal electronics. It also causes the radio to hang up while inserting it into the carry holster and forcing it would...

Here's one we haven't seen yet.. or really anywhere for that matter... Motorola HT100 VHF. There doesn't seem to be much information at all out there about these.

Has anyone tried using an XTL1500 as a VRS connected to a different-band radio? I am using a UHF VRS750 right now with my VHF XTL5000 O5. I would like to run secure P25 for my VRS and a Futurecom DVRS is cost-prohibitive.

NSPD

Cool deal... thanks for the identification guys!

Found this housing in with a bunch of /\/\ low-tier housings today while I was on my quest to get the junk out of my radio room. It looks suspiciously like an EXPO and typical Motorola contruction, but it doesn't say Motorola anywhere on it. I googled "MSI GMRS Radio" and didn't find anyth...

Thanks for the link!

It's a neat piece of equipment, glad I was able to save it and some other vintage 1940's and 1950's Moto and GE items from the trash.

Here is something for the oddballs category... this is from WAY before my time. Part of an old dispatch console?

Saw this thread and thought about something I have that is probably made of unobtainium. I have a MOCOM-70 head that is in the plastic. I have just the head, and it's missing the lower aluminum plate that the photocell mounted in and the photo cell. Any idea of value or where to try listing it besi...

Well this is a stab in the dark as I don't know much about the desktracs, but since your FSOFT light is lit up and it is transmitting continuously, could this be a former trunking repeater from a small Startsite system that is in failsoft mode due to the system controller no longer being connected? ...

NSPD

Was this formerly part of a Startsite system by chance?

I picked up a used Zetron Model 27 Receiver Monitor that I want to connect to multiple scanners via the external speaker jacks on the back of the scanners.

Have you considered mounting the XTVA on the back of the center console?

FWIW when I cut power to my XTVA via master switch the XTS cuts off too, even though the switch is still "on".

I've been using a 450-470 Phantom Elite "Sharkfin" for some time now, works great.

NSPD

Yep.. I am using channel steering.

I am now leaning more towards an issue with the XPR7550 rather than the VRS750. I programmed the channels into my XTS5000 and it works perfectly with that radio, but it has recently been aligned.

NSPD

It's called RDX Series Distributer CPS... I have not seen any references to the same for the CLP series.

NSPD

I guess I should also be asking... is there such thing as a dealer CPS that allows custom frequencies like there is for the RDX series?

NSPD

And if not, starting keyword.

I'm super interested... I need a good VRS radio so I don't have to resort to a CLP1060.

NSPD

Has anyone tried or had any success in taking any of the CLP Series radios out of band?

I would like to experiment with one of these, but would like to put it into the 440 band where there is no chance for interference from business users.

NSPD

I was able to contact the company for more information, they responded that the product would be released "next year" with a tentative price of $199 for the entry unit, and public safety units starting at $600.

It appears that the parent company's website is www.BriComSolutions.net

I have a UHF VRS750 attached to an VHF XTL5000 O5. I have noticed when the VRS is active that there is a significant delay between when I key up on my portable and when the VRS either keys the radio or steers the radio to the correct channel and keys up. On some channels, it does not do either even ...

NSPD

Excellent... Thanks!

NSPD

Before I blow something up... Is the VRS750 control cable that works with the Astro Spectra also compatible with mid-power XTL5000's?

I haven't been able to locate much documentation and I want to make sure that I don't release the magic smoke when I plug in my VRS.

Am I correct in assuming that if I have an XTL5000 with a UCM in a 3-day carrier board, and I enable Infinite Key Retention in CPS, it will keep the keys until I manually erase them?

Just want clarify before I buy one.

NSPD

They program with DOS software and they are an absolute pain in the @$$ to work with.

*IF* you can get them programmed, they are decent radios to use. I had several of them years ago, but I no longer have anything to work on them.

Care to share the list of acceptable batteries? Hopefully it can put the issue to rest for us and anyone in the future having the same problem...

I'm in the same boat... mine died yesterday morning for no apparent reason. I popped my XTS5000 into it and it briefly powered up, then dead.

I'm almost wondering if it has something to do with the cold weather?
