thats funny!

Found a neat little tone generator on-line.

If I read this correctly, you dont really know too much about QCII so I hope this simple (I hope) explanation helps. Ok, here are a couple of 2 tone paging options that we use: 1.) TONE A: 1669.0 - TONE B: 1180.0 2.) TONE A: 1669.0 - TONE B: 910.0 3.) Tone A: 1669.0 - TONE B: 781.0 In QCII, there ar...

I did leave out that I need MDC1200 caps. The only problem from what I see on the Kenwood is that this requires an option board for MDC and ICOM does not appear that it is able to do MDC at all. If I am wrong on ICOM, please point me in the right direction. If ICOM offers MDC as an option, whats the...

Thanks for the input. I have used damn near every radio out there. I have to say that I am partial to Motorola's.

A couple of the guys at the FD are thinking about buying Minitor IV's. I suggested that they consider a CP200 due to the price being comparable to the Min IV. This would give them QCII and the ability to transmit. Anyone familure with its transmitting capabilities? Good, Bad or whatever. Thanks, Mike

Thanks for your help Guys, I appreciate it.

Todd,
Is that in the book or on the net somewhere? I would like to read more about this.

Mike

how do you think you want it to work....when man down is activated you want a light on the truck to notify you... ??????? Basically, yes. Right now we have a green strobe that is utilized as a COMMAND POST identifier. I would rather make this trip on MAN DOWN and then anyone can look at the screen ...

Ok, here is what I am attempting to do: 1.) Walk in rescue. Run 1 VHF mobile radio with two control heads. Using either CDM1250's or 1550's. I know I need a remote but what piece do I need to connect both control heads to the same radio? A model number might help here. 2.) CDM mobile set for EMERGEN...

I could see if they wanted $5.46 for the button but I dont think $5.45 is a bad price

To the Mods - I hope this is allowed and if not will understand if this post is deleted.

I need a CP for a CDM1550LS UHF mobile. You can send it to webmaster@weirfire.org

Model# AAM25SHF9DU5AN 450-512mhz 128ch LTR

Anyone know a default for a CDM1550LS?

Thanks Larry. I understand this now. I was beginning to think the batts were bad.

Anyone familure with X-PAND: Does 12.5khz mess with any MDC signalling you may have at transmit? Do other radios in the fleet need to all be switched to 12.5 to function properly with MDC encode and decode?

Mike

The IS batt. is new while the other batt. is about 3 years old. I have 4 batt's total that I cycle through once every 4 days. and they seem to last longer than the IS batt.

Mike

I have seen these same EBAY radios. You can program them either way. The add is a little confusing to someone not familure with 1550's and gives the impression that only 16 Conv. chan. can be programmed which is not the case.

Depends on if it comes with the programming key as well as the appearance and the age of the battery. Does it come with a mic? Etc.

All things above considered, $500.00 is a reasonable price.

Guess this question is for those who have a 1550: I have two batts. One is Intrinsically Safe and the other is a NiMH 7.5. The Intirns. safe batt. seems to only last around 12 hours (No Scan or Xmit) the NiMH lasts nearly 24 hours. Any clues here? Anyone have the same problem?

Ok, its been a long day. Finally found what I was looking for after a little digging on this site. Here is what I found for those who have the same question: Dual Call Formats In this approach, two different dual tone sequential calls are possible through the programming of three tones (A, B, and C)...

I had this issue using Windows ME. Not sure why but if you put the radio in the charger abd attempt to read/write while the radio is in the charger, it worked half the time.

I am setting up several HT1550XLS radios. I am enabling QCII on all. There are three tone groups that need to be added to the radios. I am looking at the QCII system and see the call format with various formats. AB/CD AB/AC and so on. My understanding is this; (FORMAT AB/AC) Depending on the tone it...

Does the newer CP200 RSS allow for one of the two programmable buttons to function as a "MAN DOWN" or "EMERGENCY" button for MDC signalling?

Thanks,
Mike

Dont know if this has been asked before or not. Searched but could find nothing.

What is the going rate per hour/radio for programming? Spec. HT and CDM models?

Thanks,
Mike

Here was my search - ht1550xls emergency decode Guess if I would have searched with the 1550 at the end, it might have come up. Oh well. :roll: Your search gave me a lot of info as did HumHead's. After looking at all of the info, I am not sure that this option is a good idea considering. I can see w...

HumHead wrote:Have you tried using the search feature? This has been covered a number of times previously.

Actually, I did a search prior to posting. I posted after finding NOTHING on the topic. Even being new, I searched to see if the issue had already been discussed.

But thanks for the info anyway!

Mike

I am attempting to enable the EMERGENCY DECODE for MDC 1200 on several radios. MDC1 is selected for the signalling option in Conv Ch. 1 in both TX and RX. Under MDC System 1 when I check "Emergency Decode" and save the Code Plug,.... when I come back to it, it is no longer checked. Any ide...
