Batboard

Ben

Hey just picked up the first SL300 and got a question on the battery. It has the BT90 in it but everything says the BT100 is the right battery. Also I only see one battery door listed for these. So my question is if I get the bigger battery will this door work? Had a couple of SL7550's and loved the...

Ben

Got a minitor V that seems to be working as it should. Can switch to all 4 modes and buttons work. Trouble is I can not put it into programming mode. When I put it in C and hold down the reset button it does not go into programming mode. Only comes on and does the self test and says which mode it is...

Ben

A group here has a bunch of surplus equipment for a good price so I was thinking of going that way but I might look for one here. Thanks

Ben

Looking at updating my portable from the XTS3000 to the 5000 and wanting to know what does it cost to update the flash for FPP? Volunteer for the Civil Air Patrol so it would be nice to be able to add a channel on the fly from time to time but if it cost too much I will just look at getting a model ...

Ben

It's very hard to believe Moto ever put out a radio with the 123ABC1234 serial let alone would ever service it

Ben

I believe you have to have another program to do that board

Ben

Not seen much posted since these came out so I was wondering how they are working out. I know the limit of 2 watts and no GPS but is anybody having troubles with the radio itself?

Ben

A friend just said the same cable, Who is right?

Ben

Do thoese use the same cable as the 6550?

Ben

Just read this topic for the first time and it has good info for somebody trying to get a repeater up and running. I'm in the same boat. Wanting to get my first repeater on the air and not very sure of anything. Several people pointed to the best person around to help, even had some used stuff for s...

Ben

Has anybody tried either the 6580 or 4580 for 900 mHz ham? Will the CPS allow those channels or is the a mod out there to do it?

Ben

It is funny how people react when a system does go into failsoft. Most have been told about it but they still don't get it. One system I was on everybody was yelling at everybody else for being on their private channel. Sure would be nice to do a little training with all the users from time to time

Ben

Thats the rumor. And the rumor is NO US sales

Ben

Going to try and get there this year, it's been several years since I have been able to.

Ben

I traded for a radio at a ham fest once and then sold it online. About 6 months later some how the guy that bought it did something wrong with it and the police called Motorola and then they called the company they sold the radio to. The company didn't know the radio was missing and then made a repo...

Ben

Should be something like a high tone and low tone sound when you switch from one to the other

Ben

I'm pretty sure it on the board if you just look.

Ben

Anybody know how to get around a password set in an Advisor?

Ben

Never programmed a Motorola advisor pager or any pager for that matter. I'm wanting to know what would I need to program one? I know the programming cup but what cable do I need? And does this use it's own kind of RIB or would a radio RIB work? I just wanting to program a few pagers and was hoping i...

Ben

Just a heads up but if anybody is staying at the Econolodge in Troy OH you might want to check your rooms. On my pager tonight is says there is a 2nd alarm fire in that motel so I don't think it's going to be back open in a month. Could be wrong but you better check.

Ben

I heard that somewhere oversea they make a monitor that will pick up trbo but I don't remember where it was. Was told it was high dollar

Ben

Thanks for the answer.

Ben

Nobody knows how many color codes they have?? I was reading a post that said there was thousands of color codes and just wondering how could have that many. They must be numbered and not called a color to have that many.

Ben

How many color codes are there?

Ben

Looks like Polaris doesn't sell the cable for programming the CP200 with a RIB any more so I'm looking to make a cable. Can anybody tell me the size of the plug to make the cable?

Ben

how do you know what firmware the charger has in it?

Ben

I'm looking for a code plug for a UHF HT1000 low split 403-470 DN if possible. You can send it to my email

Thanks

Ben

But he said the Waris line of radios. The 9250 is a Waris

Ben

There is a hack to take the MTX9250 into the ham band.

Ben

Happy Holidays to all !!!!!!

Ben

I was thinking QQII decoding was standard on the M1225.

Ben

This is a very sad day. Monty was always around to help out with anything on this board. I've done a few deals with Monty and they were always great. My family will kind his family in our prayers.

Ben

Ben

Didn't look at the date, but that would be why they are not there.

Ben

I don't see the pictures

Ben

done.

Ben

Ben

But is the R04.00.01 version I have ok? Or what can I do to upgrade it?

Ben

Ben

What is the lastest frirmware version for the HT1250? I just picked one up that say version R04.00.01. Is that good or bad?

Thanks

Ben

Ben

I am pretty sure frequency windows can be set into the software to bypass
certain frequencies .

If that was the case why wouldn't somebody just use a freq close to what the service is using?

Ben

Well I think that helps alittle. I'm going to get out the labtop at work this weekend and see if I can make it work.

Ben

But how do I get to each scan list from the keypad? It's been a few days since I was in the program but I was thinking it would only let me set each channel to one scan list

Thanks for the help.

Ben

I know the book says one scan list is assigned to each of the 16 positions of the zone/channel selector knob. And that the same channel can be in several scan lists. My question is how do I set this up? How do I get to each scan list? And how do I setup one channel in more then one list?

Thanks
Ben

Ben

I know the 1550 support QQII and I think the 1250 do to.

Ben

Is there a chart somewhere that tells me what antenna's fit which radio. I'm looking for a good VHF antenna for an HT1550.

Ben

Funny you should talk about privacy and Motorola trunked systems. The local shop here sold the ambulance service on using a local system because of the privacy they would have including private call. They found out all to soon that even the private call could be monitored with a trunking scanner. Th...

Ben

Maybe Motorola will see the money to be made in selling more radios and software. Maybe even some of the agencies out there would use this version of the RSS to program radios to monitor systems they want to keep track of without being on the system. Maybe something like a local security company tha...
