Those look correct as far as I can tell from the service manuals. This obviously (based on your model #) would be for a low/mid power drawer. If you don't already have it, you'll also need the W series headbridge (1585245E01 is what I show for it).

I haven't ever seen a CBI Astro25... So "I bought a blank unit" doesn't work with me... And I've never actually seen a Zebra, so people telling me that they've seen one doesn't work for me... /snark CBI does, in fact, exists in Astro25, and you'd need only to read the CPS help file to con...

Fixed the link (had an extra "url" on the end) and since this is off topic, locked.

"Shadow bronze"? Is that like the mobile version of the Babyphat 5000? Or something perhaps sponsored by a whacky interior decorator?

Sounds like your IT monkeys need a beatdown...

I think what you are asking is if OTAP is not configured in the radio's codeplug for a trunk system, will it respond to an OTAP request, and the answer to that is an unmodified negative. It's more complicated than just checking the checkbox, the radio also needs to be configured as a data subscriber...

An ASK is required only to initially program the radio with the OTAP settings. There is no ASK involved in the actual OTAP process. It sounds like you have a number of people there that aren't exactly clear on the concept, which is sadly not unusual when dealing with this kind of thing (especially f...

POP25, aka Programming Over P25, aka Over The Air Programming (OTAP).

OTAP requires an appropriately provisioned ASK (an ASK programmed with the builtin "unlimited" access level will include this option) to allows CPS access to the OTAP fields.

Yes, it can be flashed. List price on the upgrade is around $500.

You don't, unless you have the nut that's supposed to go in between the radio antenna port and the antenna.

If you're trying to flash an Astro Spectra, you'll need a RKN4047_ flash cable. The regular programming cables won't work.

It would appear to be a CPS issue, on the face of it - there is no OBT ASTRO25 Control Channel tab, so there's nowhere for you to put in your VHF control channels.

Another, perhaps easier alternative would be to program a dummy RX only channel into the consolette, with some oddball DPL code, and instruct the dispatchers to park the MC3000 on that channel unless they need to use it. That way the remote is always ready to go at a moment's notice, and only requir...

You do not need a system key to remove trunking information from CPS, only to add and (in most cases) modify it.

Get the system manager to provide you with a child ASK that only allows cloning operations.

Hit the home button or rotate the channel knob.

Check to see that the IP range that's used by the TRBO doesn't conflict with the IP range used by your internet connectivity.

Assuming you're using fairly recent CPS and the consolette has fairly recent firmware, what's the minimum volume setting under Alert Tones set to?

Might be something gone south in the control head. I've seen that happen from time to time. You could try swapping heads and remote cables.

I have two zones enabled and all personalities are assigned to a zone. It doesn't interfere with using it, just kind of annoying. Any idea of where to fix it in the CPS? Thanks for the reply Are you saying that the error still comes up every time you turn on the radio, or just that it came up one t...

The radio may have been on a zone/chan number that no longer existed in your new codeplug.

You don't assign functions to each button specifically. There's a reason they're called soft menu buttons. When you configure the list of menu items (for simplicity's sake we'll say you're only dealing with conventional), the radio goes one by one down the list and decides if that menu items needs t...

No, R05.02 and R05.03 are compatable with each other.

Have both companies (or their local reps) send out demo units and try them out before you buy.

Well, being new to this I think I am using the wrong RSS, using R06.00.05, this is an astro spectra so I may be using the wrong RSS, correct RSS? You are probably not using the right RSS. You need ASTRO RSS or Astro Spectra CPS. CPS would be the easier option if you have a modern Windows based comp...

You can scan each band sequentially, not concurrently.

We have a current subscription, but I don't want to upgrade. 06.10.04 is stable, and I don't see anything in the newer version read me to justify the upgrade. My main concern is keeping 6 radio shops running that are spread out over a 300sq mi area. Every radio that comes back from the depot will h...

Thanks to all those that wrote about the decoder internal server error. This was due to some less than expected server maintenance. The issue has been corrected. As always, any questions or comments please PM me.

It's blank unless it's an intrinsically safe radio, in which case it's a FM approved sticker.

Guys, regardless of the OP asking about it, this isn't the place to discuss the legality of encryption on various different radio service classes, nor is it the place to discuss frequencies and usages by other entities (except with regard to the technology itself). Please keep the discussion on topic.

Look on the main site, it's all there.

In my experience the only way to load a DES key into a 5000 is to make sure PID is checked. The CKR selection cannot be changed as, to my understanding, that is strictly for an AES key. Is it possible that the one radio that works has the PID selection checked? PID reverts to the ASN key, or DES, a...

Guys, it's up to anyone individually to decide if they want to deal with someone on eBay or not, that discussion is outside of the scope of this board. If the OP has any other questions regarding the hardware itself, please post away. Otherwise, eBay discussions are off topic.

In that case you'll need PMLN4961_.

Strictly speaking you don't need a cable. The O3 will plug right into the tranceiver body, on the TIB on the front of the radio. However, that only really works if you're driving an early 90's vintage Ford pick'em'up and can slap the radio under the dash. If you want to extend the control head, use ...

There does not seem to be a site trunking selection included in the test parameters.

The only officially sanctioned source for firmware files is Motorola. As a reminder, soliciting the membership for firmware is against the rules.

What is the host version?

MTS2000 firmware is not available for download on MOL. You need to order one or more refresh kits to obtain the latest firmware. Contact your local MSS or equivalent, they should be able to arrange for the purchase.

One does not delete zones in Systems Saber RSS - it will always shows 16 zones. If you want not to use a zone, you have to go through all the channels in that zone and set each personality type to Blank. Once you've done that, even though the zone remains in RSS (and all the channel names remain wha...

Please post inquiries about wanting to buy or trade parts in the FSWT forum, not here.

They're using a picture of an XTS2500, not an XTS1500.

The answer is that very few of Motorola's subscribers can decode an MDC1200 emergency. Astro25 radios are not among those that can.
