About our COM-120, after further testing, unit is unresponsive to any keypress. Anything we could check ourselves? Or do we need to send it in?

That's the thing - the message is stuck on the display, is there a key sequence we should be doing to bypass this?

Johnny Grep

Is there something we can do to try & reset it, or is it a support/repair case?

Thanks for your quick reply.

Johnny Grep

Hey, Just started using an old COM-120A a few days ago to tune some duplexers. Worked perfectly until we went to get some coffee and when we came back it was stuck at the IFR boot logo screen stating something to the effect of "REINITIALIZING CALS TO FRONT PANEL"...not sure about the exact...

Yeah, and on the last episode, Danny was calling for back-up on what looked like an XTS3000 *WITHOUT* pushing the PTT. Must be a SP build for the Regan family.

Johnny Grep

Where can you buy this? You need to purchase a GOB from MOT and pay for Moni's firmware? I want in.

Johnny Grep

I haven't dealt much with RAM mounts (because I haven't needed to in the past, and a lack of local dealers) but I'm thinking the universal under-seat mount with RAM-HOL-UN4U, the universal mount, but looking at it again, the fingers don't look very long/deep. Definitely not big enough for an A9, bu...

Johnny Grep

Or dual M7100IP setup, if you're willing to use M/A-COM.

Johnny Grep

I ended up installing only an Icom ID-800H ham rig and a Uniden BCD996T scanner. Mounted the 800H transmitter under the passenger's seat, ran a cable up to the control head above the mirror under the headliner. Scanner went in the glove compartment. Bolted one Moto speaker underneath the glove comp...

Johnny Grep

Very nice.

How's the performance on your phantom antennas?

Johnny Grep

I got it to work. CG SEL works as advertised; however where can one program the tone options in CG SEL? I get 16 tones (randomly assigned it seems), then option 17 is NO TONE & option 18 is PERSTONE. I've looked everywhere in ProGrammer but can't find any menu to program CG SEL... Also, the M710...

Johnny Grep

CG SEL works fine on a P7100 (just tried it) but I haven't tried it on the M7100, as I cannot power it up. I think I'm missing the ignition sense wire. Where is it located? I have a yellow wire with a spade connector that comes out of the control head's DB25 plug. Could it be Ignition Sense?

Johnny Grep

I can only give info regarding Programmer 18. If I have a radio that is programmed with 18 and try to read it with 17, it will not read, but I can write a new personality with 17 and all will be fine. It just sucks having to do everything from scratch. As far as the display goes, line 1 is the set ...

Johnny Grep

I am about to get a M7100 remote mount radio that was last programmed with ProGrammer R20, and I have the almighty R17. Is R17 & R20 backwards compatible or am I going to have to create a new personality? Anything I should be wary of by doing this? Also, how does the display work in Conventional...

Johnny Grep

Its a tight vehicle. I've completed 4 installs for a security contractor in the last year all on Patriots and there really isnt ANY room to mount anything. Any pics? Details? Which kind of radio, and how did you install them? I was thinking about installing the radio on the right side of the shifte...

Johnny Grep

Yep, I do believe it's going to be a PITA. I might go the HHCH route but I want a privacy handset on my radio.

Johnny Grep

Good to know. I'm actually actively looking for one. Noticed that they were available on Amazon for around $250. Missed a couple of deals on eBay... sigh.

Johnny Grep

Anyone?

I was thinking about installing the head right in front of the cupholders - there's a small nook where I could stick the remote mount bracket. I haven't test fitted it yet but I think it should work.

No one has ever had to work with these "trucks"?

Johnny Grep

Hi, I know this question is pretty dumb, and I have tried googling but am now too tired to further pursue the investigation. In a nutshell, what the hell is the difference between a O5 XTL5000 & a O5/M5/whatever XTL2500? I'm looking for a good ol' VHF mobile with good audio & lots of channel...

You are correct! He could also set a DN HT 1000 up for ATIS with a hell of a pretime on it and sound like an old Metrocom Spectra! *HOOOOOOOONK*

What, ATIS is like a giant pig squealing?

Never heard it.

Johnny Grep

Move along to GE-STAR, it still sounds like a squealing pig, if you're into that.

Johnny Grep

Thanks for taking control again batwing. Do us all a favor and get rid of alex as well. Both of them have far outlived their usefulness. This place needs the fresh start. I think that is uncalled for. While I may not agree with all of Alex or certain other mod's policies, the fact is these people s...

Johnny Grep

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for.

So this fits on any XTL-series radio with an Ox head? Any other models?

Johnny Grep

Hello,

We are currently outfitting a 2011 Jeep Patriot for work purposes and need to install a remote head radio in there. If you know the interior of these things, you know it ain't an easy job. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Johnny Grep

How did you guys like the CT-1000? Considering buying one for my service vehicle. One can never have enough handsets.

Johnny Grep

There seems to be very little documentation on this part number. Is there any PDF file or webpage with additional info? What kind of hang-up cup does it have? Does it have a privacy switch? Does it fit on the XTL2500 or any other model than the XTL5000? Our current application uses the old cellular-...

Johnny Grep

Which type of connector does it have?

Johnny Grep

While browsing around, I've stumbled on this part number (HMN4097A) which states that it is a telephone style handset with keypad for the XTL series. Does anyone have a picture of the said handset and is anyone using it?

Johnny Grep

Unless someone else pipes up here it's my impression that there is not a Motorola radio that will do 5 tone. The topic came up here the other day and I simply could not think of one Motorola unit that will do 5 tone. Not even the PM1200. GM300 will do it. So will the European MX family (the Saber c...

Johnny Grep

Hi - I'm in the market to replace a few of my mobile radios. I currently have a TK780 & a Vertex FTL-2011 but would like to replace them with Motorola gear. I've been looking at the MCS2000 because of its feature set, but I've seen a few euro radios floating around like the GM1200 or MC2100. Are...

Anyone know How would i get a Iden i390 unit to crossfleet. Can i do this with iden carrier rss, or iden super agent? do these programs already have the update with them that i would need, or do i have to have my own update or codeplug to flash into the unit using the software. Would mean a lot to ...

Johnny Grep

Short answer is... you can't. The i390 is too old to be able to cross-fleet.

How did you route the cabling and where did you get your power?

Johnny Grep

Hi there,

Looking for ideas on how to mount a mobile (MCS2K or Maxtrac) in a 2009 Ford Focus. I'm thinking under the armrest, but if you have any other ideas I'd really like to hear them... not an easy interior to work with

Johnny Grep

Hi,

I'm looking for a Motorola radio that will encode/decode MDC and CCIR/EEA Selcall (Select V?) - is there a mobile that will do both? Or will I have to setup an euro radio + a NA radio?

Johnny Grep

Hi,

Forgive the newbness of the question, but is it possible to program a XTS2500/5000 radio using a Polaris PA-1 with a MTS2000 cable?

Thanks.

Johnny Grep

Well, Google helped me out - we're using a RACS system (Zetron 7032). FFSK signaling for the 7D consoles, DTMF & Selective Tone for the Vertex mobiles.

Johnny Grep

Well, my system doesn't sound like it's an IMTS system, judging from your descriptions. We use Zetron 7D remotes as well as dispatch consoles. I'll post an audio sample of the signaling between the radios, base stations & dispatch consoles... this is quite interesting. The FTL-2011's seem to hav...

Johnny Grep

Hi there, We have an ancient VHF mobile radio system with what seems to be IMTS base station equipment (we are in the 152-157 range). We use Vertex FTL-2011 99ch radios and I think the base station controllers are Glenayre systems. Normal calls are made by Selective Calling (we transmit our 7-digit ...

Johnny Grep

One minor correction to #3. Mixed mode is indeed for the receive side, but the transmit side can be set for either Analog or P25, but not both. So as Tom stated, if TX is set to digital it will TX digital, but if it is set to Analog it will TX analog. Dan KA8YPY Is this a channel setting or can it ...

Will wrote:Give it a try as some Polaris RIB's should work. Remember, READ the radio several times to see if it reads the information correctly.

I thought the 25-pin connector on the Polaris PA-1 was completely different than Motorola's? That's why I was asking... but I'll give it a try.

Johnny Grep

Hi there,

I have a Polaris RIB and would like to program a Vertex FTL-2011/7011 99ch mobile. I've seen the pinouts for the RIB-to-Vertex cable on Batlabs, but I'm not sure they would work with a Polaris RIB. Does anyone know how to wire them up?

Thanks

Johnny Grep

Hi there, Just wanted to make sure... we all know MTS2000 firmware has toolproof protection, what about MCS2000? Yes, I've searched, but most posts regarding this are more than 3-4 years old. So I just wanted to make sure that the MCS2000 is still a "hackable radio"... and BTW do you need ...

Johnny Grep

Need an R-Split, preferrably model 2 with basic flash. I'd rather have a RSS CP.

While we're at it does anyone have a MCS2K model 1 VHF codeplug, with a conventional flash? (Needs MDC encode at the very least)

Johnny Grep

Read the subject - Model II would be great, too!

Johnny Grep

Anyone got a sound file of ATIS signalling?

Johnny Grep

I forgot to mention "with new Motorola equipment"

This client wants to buy brand new radio equipment for this setup.

Johnny Grep

900Hz for TX/call alert tones, 300Hz for busy channel tone...

Johnny Grep

Hello, I am looking for a mobile conventional full-duplex solution for interconnect purposes. What do you guys use for such a setup? Of course a handset would be necessary with a DTMF panel (on the radio or on the mic, no prob). BTW there is no cellular service available at the location where this s...
