lead to an ignition power source capable of 15 or 20 amps.

Depends on if high power unit or not(OP didnt say)....MCS2k 110w high power units draw 27-30 amps on Tx so 15amp circuit wouldnt cut it

I have never had QC tones missed while in scan mode. I have all my MT2k's and HT1ks setup this way. Ive personally never had a missed tone out of about 1600 calls per year at my fire department, so as far as reliability goes, not been a problem here...I only scan 9 channels max though. I have never ...

nrembis

is the auto reset enabled under your quick call II settings? disable that, make sure your signal muting condition is AND and mute unmute is AND/OR under your channel configuration options

edit to add....I would also would not use priority scan if wanting to decode QC tones.

Yeah, they sent me a photo as well and like you couldnt see anything obvious...

nrembis

Yeah,we are starting to see that as well, making me wonder that the extended warranty option is not worth buying since everything you send in they blame on something not covered under warranty, no FSB on speakers that I know of....Ive been hearing good things about USAlert pagers, so I may get one o...

thanks, I will give that a try, hopefully it just ejects my last page and not print a directory listing

Jim,the post was about older compliant equipment, not bashing me for my used equipment ads, I hope your other 2444 posts werent as bad, bashing and demeaning as the last 2 I have seen directed at me from you, if so I feel very sorry for all the folks on this forum that have had to put up with you.

I think the prices will go up, not get cheaper and we will also see many radio dealers go out of business in the next few months, your starting to see in fire and ems an education process and they are finding out many of their radios are compliant when their local radio dealer said no its not in hop...

Hello, I am using an HP Laserjet 6p under DOS for printing my codeplug data, the printer will print fine, but never prints the last page until I print something else...If I print all, I get everything except last channel, to get that I have to go back and select print radio wide, then I get the last...

I like the 2001 series monitor; used one at work until I retired but one caution. Be very sure that the CRT is bright and good focus. Many problems with the display and HV power supplies with the ones my employer had. A replacement CRT, if you can find one, was well over $1000 before I left in 2005...

nrembis

Thanks for the info Tom, I may have found a line on an R2001 that should work for me, dont know yet.

nrembis

Thanks Tom, Ive seen Cushmans listed on ebay and for somewhat reasonable prices, thats why I asked, considering no more than what I will probably use the thing and besides I have been married for 22 years and know full well who controls the money, certainly not me, my wife would sh$%t a brick if I d...

nrembis

Im wondering if no more than what I want to do, especially since Im just learning if a Cushman CE3 or 4 will work for what Im wanting?

Also, keep the FRN in the name of the Village and simply change the contact information for it to yourself. Then, share the info, including password, with at least one other responsible person within your agency and your village government. Edit to add: If there are other licenses on the FRN, you w...

nrembis

Here goes: Government Agencies are exempt from ULS licensing fees. Volunteer fire departments that are not directly a part of a local government are not exempt from the fees. In order to obtain new frequencies get out the check book and fork over a hunk of cash to one of the FCC approved frequency ...

Hello, arent govt entities exempt from ULS licensing fees? also anyone have any tips for helping me get a repeater pair to use for my fire dept as a fire ground...Ive never used the ULS system but I do have an FRN. I also have the old city police band thats in our chiefs name for the PD and would li...

nrembis

There are some early MTS2000's that cannot use CPS and must use MTSX 6.08 if 6.07 wont get it for ya....6.08 was last of the MTSX updates

nrembis

Pager will still alert with PTL on, but not give voice, you will have to push the reset button to hear message......

nrembis

Uncheck PTL, you will have to use silent scan to alert on either f1 or f2 but risk missing a tone, priority scan alerts on f1 only cannot be muted....is the pager SV or non-SV makes a diference on your revert.

nrembis

Also with a service monitor do you still need the rtx4005b test set or will the monitor cover full alignments ok?

nrembis

Thanks for the reply, I have no use for the monitor to be used in the field, I only want it for taking care of my own radios at home and the occasional FD buddy that wants his checked.

nrembis

Hello, I have no idea how to use a service monitor for alignment, my skills end at programming radios and pagers, lol...I would like to learn how to do full service alignments on ht1000 and mt2000 radios only so what is a basic starter monitor that I would need to get for just those radios.

Thanks!

For the most part cincinnati isnt bad, but usually when I go down its in squad and to UC hospital to drop a patient off, the hospitals are in bad areas and if we dont take in whatever isnt bolted down in the squad into the ER with us it wont be there when we come out

nrembis

Im about 35 miles east of cincy, you will rarely see me downtown, I hate the big cities

nrembis

It happened to me(re-direct) a couple hours ago using my android phone, all yesterday evening I couldnt load the forum because virus software was stopping the forum, saying malicious script was running, it was only the forum, the main batlab page with wiring diagram links worked ok.

I have a 110W xtl2500 with M5 Head and I use the HKN6183B cable thru mic port, which should be the same for xtl5000

The Firefighters shouldnt have even been in that building... Risk A Little To Save a Little, Risk Alot To Save Alot! they said it was an unoccupied building, no entrapment, why risk it? Fight it from the outside, go defensive. Sad Firefighters got hurt, but couldnt been prevented.....just sayin! Bes...

nrembis

HKN6161A is the 20 foot remote mount cable, you will need HKN6183B programming cable

actually it might be the HKN6155 cable for the 03 head

nrembis

At first they said it would be repaired under warranty, then they ended up telling me it was liquid damage and is not covered under warranty or flat rate repair. I pitched a big fit and told them there are other pager manufacturers with better IP ratings and a warranty period just as long as theirs ...

Hello, I have several HT750 and 1250 radios I would like to update the firmware on. I have never done this before. Do I need anything other than the appropriate programming cable to do this?

I sent a minitor V to depot for warranty work for intermittent audio problems as well as a couple other issues.

nrembis

you'll need the appropriate crystal

nrembis

I have had no issues with CPS r17 on on xtl2500's and pm1500's. I do however use the rs232, not the usb cable...Ive never attempted firmware updates cause Im not paying for flashkeys.....what a crock that is

nrembis

Looks good, be even better if they would quit losing my repair requests, lol

nrembis

Yep, I had the same problem. The information disappeared as soon as the radio was logged at the depot. You need to call Motorola or open a case through MOL and they will get then information back for you. Thanks, that's exactly what happened to me too, as soon as it hit Juarez's doors it disappeare...

nrembis

I have sent in a pager for warranty work, now all of a sudden the repair status has disappeared in my MOL account, cannot even locate it using the RMA number....anyone else having a problem of disappearing RMA's?

nrembis

ack/naked error is hardware failure in your link to the radio....means software doesnt even see the radio, you said cable and rib program fine on other radios, so that narrows it down to this particular radio.....contacts not clean, broken flex.....who knows??? you will just have to dig in and find ...

nrembis

Dont sweat that one, jumpers may be missing on accessory connector or its programmed wrong

nrembis

is it still transmitting with out the mics attached to each head?

nrembis

1 or 2 channel? if 2 channel and using the priority scan, you lose on/off duty switch, can only use silent scan.....which isnt the best method, but is what I have to do at our FD because of part-time and vollies in a combination dept.

nrembis

I shouldnt have a problem programming an XTL2500 with 17.01.00 with older firmware correct? MOL will only mail me the latest version, but I dont want or need to update the firmware, radio is several years old but works fine without issue. As long as you don't enable a feature in CPS that the firmwa...

Thats what we use now...due to height of the fire aparatus, we have always used 1/4wave antennas for clearance and still manage to hit multiple repeaters....i think county dispatch just needs to deal with it, too bad, LOL

nrembis

Thanks Will, Ive never had to set one to low power before. Our county 911 center asked me if I could cut the power back on them because both the engine and rescue truck we have on the FD is hitting the repeaters on 3-4 towers in the county, the system is a steered voting system and they dont really ...

Ive found no reference to what the MCS2000 110W VHF radio gets cut back to when low power is selected.....anyone know? 45-50W?

nrembis

Motorola references the IOGEAR brand usb-serial converter in the readme file, Ive never used one for astro portables....i do however use the converter on minitor V pagers with no issues.
