Go buy a scanner. You are only going to get yourself in trouble with such a radio.

Cool first post bro. Why was this post even approved?

K8TEK

Okey-dokey... Carefully took apart the radio and noted that there is no pad between the PA module and the frame. I presume that the pad is some sort of compressible material that goes in between the PA and frame? I applied a very light coating of heat sink compound to the mating components and re-a...

Perhaps you should let someone who knows what they are doing program your radio if you think using HT1000 RSS is complicated.

That doesn't come with the 33pF cap on the flex, that is 2113740A41.

You also need the escutcheon for the outside of the flex. 1386058A01

Well, here's the story... I took the radio to the Fire Company that inhibited it and now its back up and running, no changing Fuses etc... The radio is a VHF, MDC enabled on TX and on RX, on Conventional mode, and no, the Radio ID was not 1234... I actually do have a nice couple years experience wi...

Looks like I should buy a few of them. I have my gang charger next to my night stand and it gets annoying at times.

Yep, and as I recall, one of the major conditions of the FCC originally granting FleetCall/Nextel the licenses was specifically that they could not be used for or converted to PCS. It's really not shocking that they've disregarded their own precedent, they've made it clear that their rules are only...

This sure makes rebanding a complete waste of time and money.

It sounds like your KVL is ASN (uses PID mode in the radio) trying to load in CKR mode or ASTRO25 (uses CKR mode in the radio) trying to load in PID mode.

K8TEK

Let's take a step back and review - paging tones reset the station. Quantars live, eat, and breathe paging tones. I'm doubtful this is a firmware problem. Do all tones, any tones reset the station, or just one specific set? You just acquired the station from where? What was it's past duty? Did they...

You are gonna need v.24 cards to accomplish that.

Does this also apply to the 220 MHz HT1250s with SMA antenna connectors?

As far as I know, it was only the VHF model with the problem.

Your radio was inhibited.

Look under Radio Wide and then Advanced II tab. The field you want to change is Short Keypress Duration for Emergency (ms): The long keypress duration needs to be > the short keypress duration. Training the SAR goons not to hit the button on "accident" would be an equally effective soluti...

CDMA StarTACs aren't that retro. They are more than capable of working on any other CDMA network if they allowed new activations for phones without embedded GPS.

I bet their are some still active on Verzon.

He asked for a speaker in the control head, though it wasn't very clear. Though your suggestion is inappropriate for the application on innumerable levels, it doesn't even meet the basic requirements posted.

That is why I would recommend the O2 control head.

That's because the CPS is junk, not the firmware.

You don't need one.

If you do, you are using Waris batteries, which weren't made for the XTS2500.

Hey guys, Beware, There are some bugs in firmware 17.00 I'll waite for a while before I upgrade my radios. I'm sure someone here can post what bugs the firmware has. Don't have my notes with me. I don't have any problems with the firmware, it is the CPS with the problems. HOST/DSP R16.00.02 worked ...

I'm sure you could find other nodes to solder the display cables to, but it would be much easier to just replace the display.

Have the other agency try and set all of the radios to 25KHz P25 and see if this fixes it.

Mike Bandwidth settings have absolutely no effect in digital mode. IMBE ...

I PM'd Alex this week about it and he ignored me. I think Alex is misinformed when it comes to the price. It is free for the server administrator to install, the cost is passed on to the client.

The $1000 you speak of is to get your own personalized app for the android market or app store.

In Motorola's high tier accessory catalog, they list different antennas for the 2500 and the 5000. The 2500 is P/N NAE6547AR and the 5000 is P/N 8505644V05. What is the difference? Both cover the exact same band, are the exact same length and use the exact same SMA connector. They are also the exact...

It sounds like a problem with the quantar. Try listening to the repeater input.

I believe Motorola is done supporting 4MEG radios, meaning no more DSP upgrades either.

I didn't have any issues that Tim described above, but something sure isn't right even though a Model 1.5 is no longer limited to 96 modes. :-) Did you have any issues with the DSP being upgraded to 16.50.20 instead of the correct version of 17.00.00? I have seen this issue is pretty much universal.

K8TEK

FW 17 is completely screwed up. It took me about 30 minutes to upgrade a 2500. CPS17 took about 20 minutes to just read the codeplug.

HOST version upgraded to R17.00.00 just fine, but DSP got upgraded to R16.50.20. What the hell Moronola!

Does anybody know what the second port on the V.24 Daughter Card is used for? I looked in the service manual and I cannot find any reference to it.

The 3000 isn't flashportable and does not support AES. You would need a KVL3000+ or KVL4000 with AES flashed in. The KVL3000 most certainly is flashportable. You use PCMCIA cards to add other algorithms (DES, DVP, DVI) and modes (ASN, ASTRO25) to the keyloader. While it is true it doesn't support A...

If the radio is on an Omnilink system, it could be because there can be 4 different system ids. It will give you an out of range error if the site you are trying to monitor is transmitting a different system id than the one it is expecting.

K8TEK

List on that part is $625.80

They all do it. That was a feature of the radio when it was released.

I know that. Motorola released CPS 7 on the 21nd, and in the release notes it lists new features that require HOST and DSP 7, among them, QCII was not listed. That is why I said CPS 7, because HOST and DSP 7 has not been released yet.
