Yes, there is a railroad MCX1000, in the RSS look at the options page I think its in one of the four pages, and look for Railroad MCX and see if the option is check off or detected. I can look to see if there was another version of software.

Look here : [url]http://www.radialllarsen.com/docfiles/ASB7/MultiBandVHFUHF.pdf [url] And they also make a splitter, which allows for exactly what you wanted 1 antenna to a diplexer to a UHF & VHF rig. A The antenna performance, should be acceptable depending on which model you choose. They do m...

Its should do fine , but as always, putting on a wattmeter and checking everything is always reccomended. Also take a real good look at the connectors, clean them and if you have extra cable, snip back a couple of inches and put a new connector on. If you really wanted to go the full path, Shakespea...

Depends on the amp... some require a wire linked to a PTT sense on the harness, others just require power and detect an rf input and work that way. Depending on the AVA model and the amp, it will probably be on of two paths. I personally have a Saber one hooked up to a dual band amp for amateur and ...

its probably the illegal tone, if its coming on when you switch to a position... meaning its unprogrammed. When you PTT and get a " baaah " tone it means it can't find the trunked system.
Sounds like it may have been on a system where he was, and it will need to be reprogrammed.

As mentioned, no docking stations but, Kodiak does make a mount and accessories
http://www.kodiakmobile.com/siteindex.htm

Look at the PDF product guide for Panasonic. They make a vehicle mount for the model you have.

Go with the WPLN series.. this is what they are about .

There where 2 variations of alkaline packs for the MX. The most popular and common was a sealed 1 time use...throw away alkaline pack. Several manufacturers made these, but I'm not sure if a current one is being produced. The second was 2 companies made a limited run of them for the MX and finding o...

If you mean you have the standard Saber unit and are switching to Astro Saber, then yes... but the Saber display mike will not work with the Astro set-up. If its' a standard mike, yes it will work. Bracket, power, and speaker connections are all the same.

1 Adam 12

Either the Diamond, like you mentioned or Larsen .. I use a Diamond 73 in the NMO set with dual MCX1000s. As for the splitter, either Radial Larsen or Diamond, just check your power ratings. Also the Diamonds (73)can fold over, if you need to get in a garage or low clearance area.

With one exception, the advice you have been given is sound.... But in order to improve your situation, are you using an outside or attached antenna of any kind with your scanner ??? Have you tried an antenna made for the band your on. Also for what you would spend on an Astro, buy a Uniden Mobile, ...

1 Adam 12

Ok, the Saber MTVA mike with display, has the exact same functions as the 3 buttons directly under the display on your Saber radio. The buttons themselves are not programmable. They function exactly as the radio buttons do. There is a way to change channels on your Saber with the mike, but to do so ...

The factory adapter for the MT will have a symbol of a "Y" on it, and I have seen them both with BNCs and jack plugs.

1 Adam 12

Vertex, Kenwood, Tait, Icom, Maxon, and Uniden have a few radios that do it with a board from Midian. Noteably the vx-800, vx-920, vx-420 etc You can buy the board and the radio and spend much less than you would for big M stuff. I know this is a Motorola board but if you really want that sound the...

1 Adam 12

Well 2 things, first if your lucky, loosen the screws at the back of the radio that hold the cover ( radio facing up. Look at the underside of the cover, M usually had a sticker under there with frequencie info, options etc. Hopefully no one peeled it off. The radio is a VHF, max channels is 32, it ...

One other thing to check is the bios settings. I have a 486 Dell and it also works with the system sabers, but not until I went in and adjusted a line for boot speed from 75mhz to a lower setting... also some laptops have setting such as Smart CPU , which when enabled alows for clock speeds to try a...

No...... the STX has no conventional scan capabilities.

1 Adam 12

Or you just take the Saber 2 case and display front and put them on your 155 radio, and create a new unit, as a model 2 or 3. Since its already tuned for that range, when the radio is about to be programmed , and asks if you want radio values or field tuning, select radio values and you should be set.

1 Adam 12

Hi guys, I opened it up and made sure that the contacts on the PROM were clean. I then left the PROM disconnected and the radio acted the same way. The row of contacts on top of the PROM are not attached to anything and I'm thinking they should be. I believe that the radio had the secure module in ...

Also the Advance Tec aka motorola conditioning chargers are made to run on 12 volts DC, the battery is charged with no radio attached in a lay flat charger, which makes it nice for the vehicle since the battery snaps into the charging cradle, also due to the charging system, they won't fry your batt...

Thanks I check the measurement, I did find 2 clear lenses thru someone of here yestereday, so thanks to all who replied.

Does anyone know of a source, for red and amber replacement lenses for the Wheelen Dashmaster II. This was the single bulb, square unit that s been around for years. Tried a internet search and cannot find anything. Looking for upt to 4 amber and 2 red. Any leads or someone who has some would be gre...

1 Adam 12

You will have to select " channel only operation " in the feature menu. By doing this is makes the radio a 1 zone keypad selectable channel operation. One other thing you might consider is audio. Either use a speaker that will be near you that has an adjustable audio level , so you can tur...

1 Adam 12

yes, we said that including the model numbers in a post about 5 up.....

1 Adam 12

Ok, its a ham rig, I had hoped maybe something new sprouted up.
As mentioned above a properly tuned antenna for the 2 meter side, and it will still do fine on rx up in the 160s which that radio does out of the box.

1 Adam 12

No where in there did he say that the radio was a ham radio. Vertex is a commercial radio brand. And programming ham freqs into a commercial radio in addition to public safetey freqs is perfectly legal. Well I'm curious as to the model number, because unless its one of the newer radios in a remote,...

1 Adam 12

Well in a channel element one replace the 26.4MHZ ( + 5 MHZ) offset ... gotta do the math but I guess its possible... since the 800MHZ MX s used a 45 MHZ drop .. have to think about that one. Same theory would appy in the S models... ???

1 Adam 12

Be very careful..because a majority of the ones on the market today are the government split.. 403-430 and would as mentioned above have to parts swapped out.... A large number of System Sabers and M-RKs are hitting the market from military and some federal groups as they switch to newer systems. Yo...

Well D-Star is currently only available in a infrastructure supported role in one band and the radios for the particular band are a grand plus for the mobile, with no HT available. There is currently quite a few of plain jane CAI and CAI radios on the market and they are all selling from $300-$600 d...

Also throw in the MCX 1000, Alpha 128 modes, scan, mulit-pl select etc. Lots of these in 138-160 range from Canada on Ebay, etc. Lots of UHFs floating around also. One other suggestion, if you want the best of both worlds get a Saber converta-com with display mike, dual band amateur amp and antenna....

1 Adam 12

If I remember correctly , the conventional only 800MHZ Spectra could utilize the HHCH head. A trunking spectras got more features and issues than the head could handle. Also the 800's HHCH where an SP product, so there may have been additional mods done. To answer your question, in the RSS there is ...

1 Adam 12

Does it by an chance say MX 360 T.. Whats the model number... but guessing on the symptom you've described. You have an MX 360 trunking radio in 800 MHZ. Its pretty much a conversation piece. The radio uses a combination of 5 channel elements and control boards with programmed chips to operate on fi...

There are ones that work with just Nicads and another that is rated for NiCad, Nimh ....... etc. ALso there is Saber and Saber R....and they also often double list System Saber or Astro Saber even though its the same category.

Whats the plate made of, thats at the front of the roof rack ????... maybe some NMOs and low profile antennas, if its metal along with a grounding strap ?? Another option may be to get a metal plate that can be bolted across the roof rack, and mount your antennas on that, and then run the cable and ...

Ok, the unit consists of a the cradle and a controller along with cables mike, etc. There are several versions of the controller. There is a non-amplified non band specific controller. ( This would allow for mutiple radios VHF-UHF 800 Etc to be run from the unit , either using a triband or dual band...

1 Adam 12

Remove the case, if your capable.. and look on the outside frame side opposite the PTT side..... Often there is a sticker with the serial number.

If it came from a large agency or government, a case swapped by accident is not uncommon.

1 Adam 12

Possibly due to a regular case being shaped different from the speaker portion down, versus a full display case. Due to the display and keys etc its a differrent shaped case then a top or non display case. But it brings up another intersting point.. if its top display then you probably need and HT10...

1 Adam 12

Well there is a difference in the model for any front display radio and non-display radios such as the HT1000 or MTX. A local agency requested one to try for their HT1000s and then tried to pop it on the MTS2000 they have and ended up getting another model that fits it. I just ordered and XTS one to...

Many of these utilize the switch for the " Emergency button". I know a lot of PD and Fire and Utility radios where set up this way and not just on the model 3. Florida Power and Light had Model 2 and model 1 units that had the emergency option. Also some model 1 radios that have dots by th...

Go to the main page of BATLABS and look up info under model MT1000
There are 2-3 methods mentioned for recovery. One of them may work for you. 1rst option would be to take and change back the bandsplit and try to reload the corrected codeplug back into the radio...if you have a codeplug saved.

1 Adam 12

Also make sure in the encryption options for the radio that "CKR Key management" is disabled.

1 Adam 12

For the portables, I also have to go with the older units... the MT500 and the MX series. I had one or two MXs that absolutley where incredible on rx.
Mobiles, the Syntor and the MCX1000 also when properly tuned did quite well.

1 Adam 12

Could be the Maxtrac 800. which is a 800MHZ trunking 25 watt, full duplex radio which utilizes a telephone style head. Would do conventional and trunking and had Alpha capability via a cellular style handset. We used these years ago for the UC vehicles on some local systems. I have a model list at h...
