MLC8000 Reliability

We have been experiencing a high failure rate with MLC8000's in an analog voting system used on leased phone lines. Most failures end up being port failures. These lines are protected by Transector surge protectors. Depot turnaround is close to 30 days. Anyone else having a similar experience?

Re: Error code on XTL2500

We already had tried the control head sync. Cables and head are good. Another chassis works fine in that setup.

Error code on XTL2500

Anyone successfully repair an XTL2500 chassis with error code FL 01-90? I have two chassis displaying this code. Replacing either of these with another chassis with same accessories resolves the problem.

Re: To newly registered users: Welcome! Please read...

I am a relatively new registered user. I am looking for a VHF AstroTac receiver I need for a customer of mine. I am not looking to sell something but rather make a post under Wanted. Do I have to wait months to have this happen?
Thanks,
Ed

Re: Anyone run an HP2620 switch on DC?

Unfortunately this switch is required for certification by Motorola. More than likely HP converts the AC to a workable DC voltage inside.

Re: Anyone run an HP2620 switch on DC?

Thanks for the quick reply.
I was hoping to find a more efficient method than an inverter so that we didn't have to add additional batteries at the site.

Anyone run an HP2620 switch on DC?

I have an application to run an HP2620-24 switch at a site. Anyone ever run one off of DC? We have 12-48 VDC available.
UPS is not an option.

Re: PL/DPL Counter

We used three CSI Flex decoders last year to do exactly that for over a month at several sites. It outputs each hit to its serial port and we just ran that into old laptops saving it as a txt file in pretty much any COMM program, then worked over those files in excel to keep just the info we wanted...

Are you sure it was the Zetron Model 32? That's a paging terminal.

PL/DPL Counter

Can anyone recommend a product to put on a base station that can count the hits on PL's and DPL's? Would like to leave something at a site for a week to make sure a tone isn't used by a co-channel user.
