Does anyone know if the XTS3000 can display a second line?

muggsy09

Had the same issue with my HT1550XLS, brand new out of the box, would hiss crazy when transmitting. Drove me crazy. I paid like $900 for it new and it wasn't working right. So brought it to the shop I bought it from and they sent it out to Motorola. came back a week later with new firmware and one o...

Sound like DTMF Post PTT ID. This is done in the DTMF config. I'm not too familer with the XTS software but look for DTMF and it should be under that.

muggsy09

no I haven't, i wasn't aware there was a fuse, how would I access it?

muggsy09

Ok I'm stumped, a co-worker of mine dropped his Ht1250 off to me, he had a Nickle-Metal Hydride battery on it HNN9009A and that battery's cells started to die, so he bought a Li-Ion Motorola Battery unknown model# with 7.2v rating. Charged it and put it on the radio. Radio would not power up, then h...

muggsy09

Make sure the Model number matches up and the band split is correct this will cause this problem. You may have to select use RSS tuning values I believe it is F2 when writting the radio. Not F6.

muggsy09

With MTS2K the only pre PTT tone you can get is the MDC1200 Sidetone. Which is a long beep prior to transmitting a data burst. Can be set to various times of delay. It can get annoying after a while.

muggsy09

I have had the same issue, it happens mostly when I have my portable volume too high and I use the mobile or vise versa, or if I'm standing next to someone at the time and their radio is on. This occurs I believe because there is a slight delay when using the repeater, and the ,ic picks up the backg...

I agree, cool at first now annoying as hell.

muggsy09

You can either turn the DOS, time to 0 or turn RX signalling to none if you can. the best way is to turn DOS HOLD OFF to 0.0
This will allow the complete Data Burst to heard over the air.

muggsy09

Some radios can be enabled to transmit a sidetone when using singletone, or DTMF PTT ID, but the tones will still be heard over the air. Using a repeater may be able, is set correctly, to clip the data sent over the air but simplex is tough. I don't know of anyway that a sidetone can be generated wi...

muggsy09

Sounds like MODAT, available as a Flash Option on Astro Saber and XTS series radios, and some old MT500 radios had it back in the day I think.

muggsy09

I have replaced one of these switches on a Saber 1E with emergency button. I bought the rubber switch with button on the top and I was able to work it over the shaft with a little TLC without removing the shaft. I would assume the plastic switches you will have to take the radio apart.

muggsy09

Ya could be, there is no labels on the back and the acse does look very new, it's an ebay gem. Everything else works good and I am gettng a tone to sound but it's almost like keypad lock is on but there is no button that i programmed for keypad lock. I don't know. Modat??? Negative. Just MDC. Thanks

muggsy09

Ok, I'm having a problem with my Astro Saber III, can't get any of the front buttons to work. I just get a "blank" beep when I press them. Anyone have any ideas. Oh and while I'm here is there any type of sidetone or beep or chirp that can be set to sound when pressing the PTT button in As...

muggsy09

Not too sure on the 2170, but I have done work on 3160s and 380s and 880s. Now make sure that each radio is using PTT ID enabled. Make sure the baud rate is the same for each unit usually 1200bps and also leave the Unit ID encode block BLANK. Message Display type- Alternate and make sure Caller ID i...

I have my MTS2000 top display set up for user prog. scan.
SB1 (blue)- Nus. Delete
SB2 (black)- Mon.
SB3 (black) scan on/off

Switch below channel knob- Scan Prog.

Mine is working fine, and I can program scan no problem.

You may have some kind of hardware issue. ??????

muggsy09

Have the radio set up for MDC1200 Pre PTT ID, with sidetone enabled and you will get a short beep when you first press the PTT button. Your radio ID will also be sent over the air in data burst form. (the squak noise) Which can be decoded by a varity of decoders.

muggsy09

If there is 2 distinct data bursts, then the person has the radio programmed for MDC Repeater Access, and MDC PTT ID this would cause a duel burst. The first is an ID to open the repeater and the 2nd is the identify the radio (ANI). Very annoying.

muggsy09

An aftermarket mic could be the problem as well. GP300 like the P110 transmit the sidetone faintly over the air, they all do it. I have a P110 with an aftermarket mic and the sidetone is heard very clear over the air as well as the data burst. The MDC however woks just fine. Try playing with it is a...

muggsy09

HT1250, HT1550XLS and some MTS2000 and MT2000 A7 (front display), if flashed properly for MDC decode and Caller ID is set to Alias List. CDM1550 and CDM1250 also do this feature.

muggsy09

I usually drag those 2 columns over so they are hidden and only the Date/Time, PTT ID and Description show. Makes it a little easier to read.

Just my 2 cents.

Muggsy

I use this software at home, on my computer, I have a Kenwood TK880 mobile unit with a computer mic in front of the speaker and it works fine. It will decode MDC1200 ID's. If you are looking for something portable, I would think you will need an HT1250/1550 or MT2000 with MDC1200 or MTS2000 flashed ...

My all time favorite screw up was in Striking Distance with Bruce Willis, where in the begining he is a car chase, and his father in the movie is callling into dispatch using the PA Mic of their Federal Signal PA300 siren. And when they finally stop the car he uses the same mic to order the suspect ...

Buy an HT1000, "DN" Model and you can program it to do a "Like" Talk Permit Tone with MDC1200. Sounds the same as TPT on my MTS2000 Trunking unit.

muggsy09

Mine are each in a ziplock bag, and I keep them in a old laptop case

muggsy09

Check the Amps on the supply I think you would need at least a 20 amp supply. Maybe more. I am currently running a Vertex Mobile at my place, with a 20 amp Max Pyramid power supply. The radio when transmitting at about 40 watts, requires 13-17 amps, so this works for me, check the specs on radio is ...

muggsy09

Thanks alot

muggsy09

I hope I'm not breaking any rules here asking for this. Once again I got screwed on ebay, you would think I'd learned by now, bought an MT2000 great shape, codeplug is junk or at least I think it is. So I am asking one of my fellow bat-labers if someone would be so kind as to send me a good codeplug...

muggsy09

Check on ebay, I found one for about 60 bucks. It looks just like the standard Jedi mic only it has the antenna on top and 3 programable buttons on the opposite side of the PTT button. It is for HT1000, JT1000, MT and MTS series and The XTS series.

I have a clip on my home computer now I have to figure how to upload it.

muggsy09

Not positive but I think, the "secure" feature is enabled on the radio through RSS and there is no secure module present or there is a problem with the module. If thats what it is, it is an easy fix just disable secure feature in RSS and the error message should go away. I had this problem...

Won't work on my MTS2000 Model number H01SDD9PW1BN, flash# 000001-000000-9. RSS says radio model doesn't support any DTMF features. So if you have an MTS2000 that does do DTMF maybe it will work. As far mine it doesn't.

Muggsy

muggsy09

Yes, MTS2000 with top display will decode MDC1200 ID's, mine does anyway. Not sure on the flashcode, but I think if you have the unit flashed for MDC1200 then it should do it. Of course this option must be enabled in RSS (older versions of RSS don't have the option most newer ones do) under Display ...

Nice! I've had several guys at work asking me to make their HT1000s do it.

muggsy09

I'm going to try it with the my MTS2000 UHF and see if there is way to do it. Some how I doubt it. I'll post my findings.

muggsy09

Seems to be working for some, but not for others. I see some of you can't get MDC and the TPT. I have 2 HT1000s both can do MDC1200 Dekey ID and the TPT trick at the same time. Both are "DN" radios and I'm using software version, R03.02.01

Muggsy

muggsy09

Yes, if you set it for a long pre-time it will send the DTMF tones over the air, however, mine is set for Pretime-200ms and the repeater clips all the dtmf tones. Sometimes the last one slips through but most of the time it clips it all. Now as far as the sound. I keyed up the HT1000-UHF conv. and t...

muggsy09

Ok a lot of discussion on this board has surrounded the Trunking Talk Permit Tone and if you can do it on conv. channels. The answer is YES. Some of you may have found this already, but to those who have not, here is how: On the HT1000- Read the radio as normal and get to the Signalling Options Menu...

muggsy09

Not sure on the Maxtrac but my GM300 will decode all MDC ID's assigned an alias in the Call List, any that aren't on the list will decode as 00. You have to enable this feature in RSS also, I think it is in MDC System. An added note, my GM300 also decodes Emergency IDs any in the list. The display a...

muggsy09

I have one, the only think I would change about it is adding another side button, to use more of the options, but other than that I like it and have had no problems.

muggsy09

Try programming Bit Sync Packets or Preamble, (the ringing sound) this will give a different sounding ID data burst. On HT1000 or HT1250 steting these to 5 in the MDC1200 Options with a pretime of 500ms is usually a pretty good setting.
Just a thought.

~Muggsy~

muggsy09

Also be sure that the alert tones are all enabled, and the alert tone volume is set correctly and not disabled.

~Muggsy~

muggsy09

I had the same issue, I couldn't get this one HT1250 to read. I was programming 10 of them and all except this one read fine. The problem was I was using an aftermarket rib, (usually works fine) As soon as I used the Motorola RIB no further problems. Radio read fine.

~Muggsy~

Ok, thanks for the help, I thought I was doing something wrong. 'll have to get a new radio.
