I had the same problem when I used an XE mic on a XPR6550. Works fine on a 7550 with the latest firmware

Is there any way to set a password on either an Astro Saber or XTS3000 so that it is locked when the radio is being read? Thanks in advance.

As far as I know, they are just different revisions with the 'E' being the newer one. If you ever want to sell one, shoot me a message.

In my experience, yes it is. I have recased used XTS5k's and the volume knob is tight until it is broken in. Personally, I like it more that way, but that's just my opinion.

Ahh gotcha. Im not sure a converter exists for that. Its been a while since I programmed VA files in an XTS, but doesn't it also use MVA?

35-K9-1

Look in the "Common" folder with all the software files. It should have both WAV and MVA. If you can't find it, I have them saved and can email you a zip file.

Very nice. I have a few Astro Sabers laying around too. If you ever want to try one, just shoot me a PM.

You are correct about the Astro Saber and XTS3000 being very similar. The XTS3000 does use the same battery and charger as the 5k. I would say that the parts for the Astro Saber are harder to come by. I have owned many of both types of radios. I have not had an issue with the display on either one. ...

The radio will need to be flashed with 1 of two options to enable Front Panel Programming. Either Q52 which is Federal Government FPP or Q53 which requires a dongle. Most hacked APXs out there already have Q52 in it. If you happen to get a legit radio, you will most likely have to add it.

Very interesting. I'm sure they will cost a pretty penny...

Started with a HT1250 for work about a year ago. Now I have 2 APX 7000s, plus a whole bunch of other goodies. Who would've guessed?

Anyone hear what the price is on these yet?

It should say in the PCC software what encryption options are enabled. Under the main menu there should be an option to "Read Radio Configuration" or something to that effect. There should be check boxes next to different options.

Hello All,
I have a EFJ 5100SL ES that currently has 6.8.6 firmware. I am looking to bump it to either 6.12 or 6.14. Can anybody tell me what is required, and walk me through the process? Thanks in advance!

I use a Motion Computing tablet to run some older software such as Trunking Pro and Astro CPS.

If it's anything like my XPR2500, the zones are automatically organized alphabetically. I have not found a way around this yet. Maybe you can number your zones in the order you want them?? I have just learned to live with it.

A possible cause could be that the previous owner forced a codeplug from a different radio into it. I second what ai4ui said. Try different software and see if you get lucky.

I have used mine with a speaker mic for about 5 months now, and I have never had a problem. I use an earpiece with it, so I rarely use the internal speaker.

Is the radio scanning when you have these problems? If you are scanning, and the radio misses the first part of the data packet, it will not decode the MDC ID.

35-K9-1

If you still have the radio, you can try forcing an old codeplug back into it. That unbricked one of mine. Sometimes if you have one function assigned to multiple buttons or switches, it confuses the radio and it won't pass the self test.

35-K9-1

Have you tried just forcing a good codeplug into it? I had this happen once before, and it worked for me.

35-K9-1

We just put 4 of them into service at work about 1 month ago. No problems so far.

35-K9-1

I found the problem and have corrected it. The Tx Inhibit was on radio-wide. After adding it to the menu list, and turning it off, the radio functions perfectly. Thank you.

35-K9-1

Hello All. I am having a problem with one of my XTS3000's. The radio receives fine, however I cannot transmit on any channel, in any zone. None of my channels are recieve only but I get that tone when I try to transmit. Also, I do not have any switch set to Tx Inhibit. All of my channels are convent...

Is there any way to change settings in CPS so that it does not save a codeplug session log? I am specifically referring to Saber/3000 CPS and the Professional CPS. I can keep deleting them, but it would be a lot more convenient if I didn't have to. Thanks!

d119- You are awesome! That's what I was looking for. Thanks so much!

This radio is flashed for trunking. However, I have all conventional channels programmed. I can learn to live with it, but I was just curious.

35-K9-1

I am programming an Astro Saber and am running into kind of a weird issue. Certain menu items come up with a different abbreviation when I power on the radio. Specifically, the ZONE button now says SYS, and the CHAN button now says SUB. Is there any way to change these back? I've been through every ...

35-K9-1

Yes. This seems to be the case, and was the recommended fix from Motorola until new firmware is released. Thanks for pointing that out.

35-K9-1

Just FYI in case anybody is also having a problem with this: I recently acquired a new XPR7550 to use for work. I noticed that occasionally, it would reboot on its own. Apparently after firmware version 2.4 there is a bug that reboots the radio when scanning. I believe that it is only when there are...

I haven't used many speaker mics on 6350s, however I have noticed that we have the same problem with our fleet of XPR6100s at work. I have no idea what could be causing it. I invested in my own 6550 and have never had any issues.

35-K9-1

Added a little green to my MTX8250. Kinda "odd"

35-K9-1

I'm using Version 10 build 5.

35-K9-1

Okay. Thanks Jeff.

I am trying to program an XPR6580 and when I get try to input certain frequencies, I get an Error #1224 message. It says that it requires the Canada Full Frequency Range feature. Any help with this?? Thanks.

35-K9-1

Great. Thank you for the info.

35-K9-1

Will an APX speaker mic (HMN4104B) work on an XPR6550? Thanks!

I want to get an Astro Saber to use for work, however I need to use an earpiece with it. Is it possible to plug in a 3.5mm earpiece into any speaker mic or adapter? Thanks.
