Thanks, i'm not looking to program it into another XTS i have a uniden 966XT and it asks for control channels. I just wanted to know if the OBT control channel list is what i need or do i need to use the RX frequency table in the CPS. The system isn't listed in any radio reference or other sources a...

I have a friend who was able to get me a codeplug from a radio that was used on a trunking system (private) that i would like to monitor. The codeplug was from a VHF xts3000 and was on a smartnet system not smartzone. Can i take the information that is located in the OBT control channels list and rx...

Motoman

Thanks Astro Spectra. I didn't even see that post. Oh well guess i'm stuck with a q split then.

Motoman

Hey guys really need your help on this. I have an astro spectra Q split so 403-437 however i can't find it's band edges i converted the 403 to hex and searched and found nothing. The CPS however does allow me to put in 441 and be okay so i tried that and nothing. I've noticed that all the how to's f...

Motoman

I have Astro Spectra CPS trying to change band splits. I've read the CPS how to but don't understand where to find the splits. I found line AEDD8C and converted the line to decimal but still doesn't make sense. Does someone have screen shoots of how to do it? Thank would be great thanks.

Motoman

Thanks for your reply. I'm using Astro Spectra CPS 05.02.00 and Astro Mobile 25 R12.00.00

Motoman

I have an IBM with xp to run CPS but doesn't have a serial port RS232 so i cant hook up my RIB. I've seen some of those PCMIA or expressport card to serial adapters for it. Would they be okay or should i just get a laptop with the serial port built in? Thanks. Also will i have trouble telling the CP...

Motoman

I've got all the software and hardware to do this GM1200 conversion however my RIB isn't genuine M it's a 2way programmer.com or as i've heard an Ed's RIB. Now it' works perfectly fine for every radio i've ever programmed. But I don't seem to be able to put in these switches to modify the RIB to fla...

Motoman

Does the MCX1200 use the same RSS as the GM1200? If not what RSS or CPS does it use? Also is the upgrade from 10channel to 250ch the same as the upgrade procedure for the GM/Gp1200? One last question, the flash upgrade on the batlabs how to's says it needs to be 13V +-5 is that the RIB Voltage or ra...

Motoman

If you can get an S-record for a Model III and RSS LAB you could probably force the codeplug in. You'd just have to make sure it was the same band split and features i guess.

Motoman

I need help programming out of band for a GM950 the page says it's the same as out of band for the GM350 but i can't find anywhere how to program out of band for the Gm350. Any help would be great. thanks.

Motoman

yeah worked a treat thanks.

Motoman

I've tried to install the GM950 RSS however all it seems to do is make a folder called GM950 under C:\ and there's only one file in the folder. Do i have to install the RSS through DOS rather than a windows setup? Cheers

Motoman

Does anyone know the part number for the decal kit for a MCS2000? cheers

Motoman

I'm in Sydney, Australia does anyone know where i can still get spare parts for the Motorola MCS2000 such as the volume knobs and channel selector knobs and decals? Is there a refurb kit u can get and if so approx price? Cheers

Motoman

Is it possible to convert a MCS2000 II model to a III? I have the control head for off a III.

Motoman

I'm planning on building a programming cable for my MCS2000. However I see there are two u can make. One that goes to the MIC socket or one that goes to a 25pin plug on the body. Does it matter which one you make? Do they work just as well as each other? I'll assume u don't have to use a resistor in...

Motoman

What exactly is TETRA? Can you just buy two TETRA radios and have them programmed and they will talk to each other? Or is it like a cell phone where u need to have a service provider and be in range?

Motoman

Oh ok thanks sorry i'm talking about Smartzone.

Motoman

For Search and Rescue purposes out department have trunking radios on the Government Radio Network. If we have a person who ie. injured themselves and can't operate their radio, is it possible to locate them in a certain area? In other words when their radio gives off it's ID so i can pick the best ...

Motoman

So far so good. I've gotten stuck. I'm programming an XTS3000 for Type 2 trunking smartzone. Now i've come to "Individual ID" Is that the ID that the radio is issued by the network admin or does it come with the System Key (IE: is it encoded into it)? Also on the Talkgroups page under &quo...

Motoman

Thanks for everyone who responded I had a mate last night who's clued up in this area show me what i needed to do. The "OBT Control Channels" i totally looked over after going to the help menu and it said it was something to do with failsoft if the system goes down. THanks heaps

Motoman

Yes my radio is flashed for Smartzone and Smartzone omni-link, the trunking network i want to program is SmartZone. It's for a type 2 system. I open the CPS and in the trunking systems there's nothing that specifically says "Control Frequncies". It's give me a thing called "Channel As...

Motoman

Would someone be able to give me a crash course in how to setup trunking personalities in CPS for an XTS3000. I've loaded the "System Key". I know the control frequncies, and talkgroup IDs. But i don't know where to input them. Nothing in the CPS says "Control Channels" everythin...

Motoman

Is it possiable to page each other's radios i have two XTS3000 III and i wanted to set them up so u can call each other and the caller ID be displayed on the screen. I set all the call list and MDC and added page to my menu but nothing happens. In the help func it says it's for use with a controller...

Motoman

Does anyone know the cost for the public safety yellow housing for a XTS3000 III?

Motoman

yeah all the files are there cause it runs fine when i open it in windows. I don't know if i'm typing the string wrong or somthing. Runtime.exe MTSX.odb and MTSX.bat and all relative files are there. I had a closer look at the error and this it was its read exactly. I type in the location string C:\...

Motoman

Well my old 400mhz CPU just crapped it's self so i got a well new/very old 400mhz. I loaded it up with the RSS and in windows 98 mode opened it it started fine, but would only read about 5 blocks of the radio until either a comms error or a Naked error. I thought this was just because i was running ...

Motoman

Ok i finally got my hands on the CPS for XTS3000. However it's trunking programming boggles the mind. I don't understand about the system range where you put in the band steps then put in a start and finish frequncies so start is lower than finish. The only way i can get it to work is to put in both...

Motoman

Well i bit the bullet and traded my MTS for an XTS 3000. An Extra 500 bucks and all is good. But now i need the CPS. Is it as easy as calling up Motorola and handing over the cash? Also i'm in Sydney, Australia does anyone know who i can contact to obtain this information on pricing and licencing? M...

Motoman

Thanks Mr. Syntrx but if they go encrypted will it be rolling or just a set code? I'm in the NSW Rural Fire Service and all of our vehicle radios have been upgraded to XTL5000 and we have XTS3000 and 5000. But it gets funnier we still run a normal analog voting system so many features wasted they ma...

I live in NSW and all of Sydney CBD and outer region police have gone digital. I know u can still moniter then with a uniden digital scanner as they haven't gone ecyrption. However does anyone know can u moniter the service with an Astro or Digital capable radio. In other words could u use an Astro ...

Motoman

I've got Motorola RSS for the GP1200 Version R00.01.10 and it's called DPS and opens in a windows, window, but does this still need to run on a DOS 486Mhz computer? Thanks.

Motoman

Does anyone know how many converntional channels and trunking personalites the radio is capable of?

Motoman

I'm looking at some PTX1200 and the model # say that they are "Trunked Twin Type" does that mean they ONLY do trunking and have no conventional channels? Thanks.

Motoman

I've carried radios in my bag many times through Xray machines and never had a problem. But hey have all been up market flash memory ones. However i'm curious to know if the older EEPROM memory radios like the Syntrx and Philips PRP80 are damaged or EEPROMs erased by Xray machines. Has anyone know o...

Motoman

Can the PTX760 be programmed through the car MVA? In other words can i hook up a serial cable to the serial port in the Car Converter to the RIB then Computer to program? Thanks.

Motoman

I'm looking for a Dual Band Amatuer Radio portable with the feature of an amatuer radio like field programming, yet with the look and design and robustness of a top end Motorola Commercial/Public Saftey radio. Does anyone know of one? THanks.

Motoman

I own an Icom IC-Z1A and the manual says it's capable of crossband repeater. Does this mean that it can be used like a mini-repeater and re-transmit RX audio onto another band? I can only get it to do that when i press the PTT manually, not automaticaly like a true repeater. Thanks.

Motoman

I've got a Saber III non-secure, and i'm wondering can i convert a Saber II secure but replacing the front shield with my non-secure III front sheild? thanks.

Motoman

The topic states the question?

Motoman

I know this sounds stupid, but check if the portables are putting out their full RF, sometimes they may have been tuned down to low pwr. If they are at full pwr, check what "Is full pwr" in the radios, and think of possiably upgrading the radios. Jus a thought.

Motoman

Is there a way to do channel input using the keypad or zone input? If so how do u activate the use of the keypad to do it? Thanks.

Motoman

Does anyone know what these do? They are radio related as they have TX and RX frequncies.
Model #: N1418B
Option #: H489

Thanks.

Motoman

Which mobile radios can be turned into a repeater though a RICK connection? Thanks.

Motoman

Can anyone decode this model #: ATH44GCU7100BN
Also where can i get a chart for the MT-1000 or HT-600 Model # decoing thanks.

Motoman

Does the MT-1000 radios take the same battery as the HT-600? Thanks.

Motoman

I have a Saber III normal, and it shows 12ch on the label, yet the channel selector can rotate to 15 positions. Is that extra channels? or just a malfunction? thanks.

Motoman

Depends, on the black label on the back of the radio does it say "MTX-2000 Handi-Talkie"? Or just MTX Handi-Talkie, if MTX-2000 it should be able to be programmed by CPS of not use RSS.

Motoman

With the MPL feature it will only change the RX MPL tone no the TX?
