I've been looking into an old Zetron Model 5. I can type the usual three digit code and get tones I want to transmit (ie: 120 is A368.5,B330.5). What I am wondering is how to use the Diagonal codes. I have the manual that is showing the sub-commands but I guess I'm just not "getting it". T...

I've got a 5000 mounting tray with key. Yours free, just pay shipping. PM if interested.

I wish I saved the email from Pyramid. I ended up getting a a few serial cables and making a Y cable that came off the Pyramid smart cables. Radio 1 I left the cabling as is and Radio 2 I only taped the RX Filter audio and the activity pins. Used Rectifier Diodes and Capacitors to prevent audio and ...

tuckerm

Just an update to this. Pyramid support pointed me in the right direction. I made a Y cable with appropriate items to prevent blowing the radios up and only one transmitting. Both radios audio will come out the VRS simultaneously and when I transmit Radio #1 keys up. It works out great.

I didn't even realize this, but there is NO NEED to bump a three year old thread with that info.

Look into the Channel Picklist option.

tuckerm

You and your dept chief both do understand that ANY SIGNAL appearing on your 700 MHz TAC1 will be transmitted on the HB channel, even if there is an emergency conversation already in progress? I doubt that operation will pass muster with your state SCIP; I know it would be rejected by the APCO comm...

1. Flashcode doesn't determine hardware encryption. Multikey is just that, multiple key options. 2. It does not mean anything as stated above. Power on the radio and hit the home button five times until it goes into service mode. That will show you if theres a UCM, the version, and what keys its cap...

tuckerm

It's an option within CPS. I've never needed to do it.

tuckerm

You should be fine. Worst case scenario you'll need to do a CH sync. I've flipped flopped the O5 heads between an APX, and high/mid XTLs.

tuckerm

Create an RX only Conventional personality and try transmitting on it. Close enough?

tuckerm

I'm dumb, I found frequency entry is where the zones are programmed not in the personality section. Now the only question remaining is how to firmware upgrade for P25 enabled. Pay for it. There is no freebee to get upgrades on these radios. Jim I don't think they sell flashcode upgrades for the XTL...

Five VHFs + Cradlepoint antenna:

I have a High powered XTL now with two High Powered cables. I don't have any mid power cables to experiment with.

I used the Gamber Johnson console for a 2014+ Silverado. No drill and it looks great. Mic brackets are Gamber Johnson as well. One "long" and one "short".

The MTR is co-located upstairs, looks like the used the traditional CAT5 for wireline. On the Motorola CSDM it shows the TX level as -10dBm. I can readjust the level to 0 and see how that sounds.

tuckerm

I'm working with Pyramid with a "Frankenstein" cable. I think it'll work but I have to change out my Mid Power XTL to a High Power.

tuckerm

I have an MTR2000 connected via Wireline (2 wire) to an MIP5000. The MTR2000 has sat unused for quite sometime and I've turned it back on, narrowbanded it, and adjusted the RX volume so the consoles can hear it again. It's the Wisconsin "Point to Point" frequency of 155.370 used for hailin...

Haven't posted my latest truck here yet...install done by me. I am a Tactical Dispatcher/Field Comm person so I end up using my truck for that a lot. I also do Fire & EMS for the local Fire Department. I have two Motorola XTL 5000s in VHF. Both are setup identically with the exception of differe...

I have a "Law" and a "Fire" radio in my truck. Portable reception in my county doesn't exist. I use the Pyramid when I'm out of my vehicle. I'd like to monitor both radios through the VRS but only be able to transmit on the Master radio. I know the X10DR can do it but everyone I ...

tuckerm

Anyone have a suggestions for a vehicle repeater utilizing two XTL 5000s? Obviously one radio is the master so when I transmit I'd want the audio to go out there but I'd like both radios' RX traffic to go to the VRS simultaneously. I'm currently using a Pyramid SVR-200 and am thinking of splicing tw...

tuckerm

Thanks for the suggestions...I'll let you know what we end up using and if it works.

tuckerm

I should have mentioned that...UHF mostly simplex with a repeater.

I have a school district I do some consulting work for. They have a Special Needs student that has been destroying some radios. They're looking for something indestructible yet around $150-$200. Anyone have any suggestions? Vertex??

tuckerm

Thanks for the link!

tuckerm

I have the Enhanced USB Headset Jackbox that I would like to tie a Mitel IP phone into to use my headset with the phone. Is there a pin out for these?

tuckerm

You try checking eBay prices or any radios sold here recently?

tuckerm

I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Off to the Depot is your best and likely only course of action.

I'm looking to convert a W style CHIB and TIB to an O style on a high power. I'd be willing to trade parts with you.

Not sure what I was thinking, but you are for sure right. Guess thats what happens when I write these up at night. I ended up returning the Panorama antenna. It actually performed WORSE than the little screw in antennas that came with the Cradlepoint. Ended up ordering a Larson that should give me a...

I have a question about Antenna Gains with Cell Phone antennas. I currently have a BROWNING BR-2427 NMO antenna connected to a Verizon hotspot. The gain is 3.5dBi on the 700mhz LTE stuff. It is adapted from Mini UHF to SMA to TS9 for the hotspot. I'm about ready to install a Cradlepoint with a Panor...

Bill, I don't think the LaCrosse clocks have a 24 hour, LED, Atomic clock.

tuckerm

Those do not do 24 hour time nor are most of them large to mount on the wall for everyone to see.

tuckerm

I do not have another MCS2000. Just the one.

tuckerm

One thing I'd look at is the drivers. Just because its the latest, doesn't mean its the right one.

tuckerm

I should mention, this is going into a Command Post, not a dispatch center. Just looking for something to mount on the wall and when power is turned on to the command post the clock syncs with the NIST Atomic Signal from Colorado.

tuckerm

I'm having a heck of a time finding a 24 hour, digital LED, atomic clock for a reasonable price. Those of you who do dispatch installs, do you have any suggestions?

tuckerm

Bad cable. Had this happen to me once and a new cable fixed it.

tuckerm

Any one take a chance at one of these yet? http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-BATTERY-CHA ... SwZ1lWdIFS

I was unable to get it to work with any of the hex edit tricks or anything else.

tuckerm

The TX/RX to a lower setting fixed the issue. Testing with my portable seems to have worked. Thank you very much for the info.

tuckerm

So is the APX900 multiband or is that just conjecture from members here?

tuckerm

Must have gotten it from eBay, about $25 right? I too have one that has ASK only a BN version.

tuckerm

So I had some time to take a look around. I made it into the CSDM. I have two questions. 1. What are the default settings for an MTR2000 being controlled by tone remote? Particularly the RX audio settings as I am not getting audio from the MTR2000 to appear at the console. 2. Once I make changes I s...
