Now here's a question...

Say this XTS2500 used to be a Model 2, and it's now a Model 3.... would it still use a M2 UCM, or a M3 UCM?? I'm not aware of what goes on in that process, but I would assume a M2 UCM??

Rayjk110

Thanks, Doug.

I guess I'm looking for PMLN4931 then...

Rayjk110

What modes/algo's of Secure does the XTS2500 use? I seem to recall seeing mixed answers on it...

Thanks

The CDM Series mobiles actually have a Pre-Amp installed in them, which makes them generically recieve so well, so an antenna with some decent gain should provide for a nice signal - but as nmfire10 stated, not much more than 3db exists. I've seen some hammy-grade antennas (ie comet, diamond, etc) c...

I tried a pair once at Dayton, they sorta sound like Nextel DC PTT - I'm not sure what codec they use tho.

Rayjk110

That thing almost looks like a Kenwood more than anything else

Got more info on that beast?

Rayjk110

I think you actually have to have read the radio to get the Host/DSP (It usually won't show this information in a "saved" codeplug, it has to be one that was just read). I think that's how it works....

Rayjk110

Same as the "puxing" equivelant units being sold on the 'bay for around $80-90ish...

Rayjk110

Does anyone have any recomendations? If you don't need too many channels, the JT1000 sounds about right. It's FPP (Front Panel Programmable), and in VHF, it operates in the entire 136-174MHz split. Holds 16 Channels, and newer revision controllers support QC functions. If you only need to transmitt...

Rayjk110

Well, usually all new radios have really tight knobs when you first get them ( I just re-cased a couple 5k's and they're really tight ). Mebey they finally got their stuff together and started making the pager knobs tight? It would make sense to have them tight due to them being prone to use with FF...

Rayjk110

I might be thinking of a different VX-series portable then.... one of the ones I demoe'd had knobs that appeared to be screwed on (from the top) and I was impressed by that. I could've sworn it was the 900 but I guess not.

Rayjk110

Actually, alot of Vertex's newer portables are quite durable. They've really gotten their :o together the last few radios they made. I was impressed with the VX-900 when I had the chance to demo one. The NYPD Vertex portables had the knobs falling off 3 weeks after the radios were deployed. Patrol ...

I love it when people bring up IMBE for no reason :lol: "Hey, we need to replace some SP50s for fireground use" "You need these XTS6900s as they can be shot out of an elephants arse at 400kph without loosing the Impres label :lol: It would be my impression that IMBE would SUCK for fi...

Rayjk110

Which radios can have 'F' in the MDC field? Most that I've tried won't allow it. I think I had a Systems Saber that would accept BEEF.

Rayjk110

very common problem with Jedi's, especially if they are older than 2001. There was a SRN out a while back with a "Jedi noise kit" that consisted of some replacement flexes, a new front shield assembly, and associated parts. One thing I have done to earlier Jedi RF boards (especially VHF a...

Rayjk110

I had a racing game for my PS2 (well PS3 now) a while ago that had blips of it in there when the other cars would 'talk' to you, altho I never did bother to decode it. There was another Los Angelos Based game that had Modat in it. (Well it sorta sounded like modat, but you could tell what it was mea...

Rayjk110

I have a jedi PS mic, mdl NMN6243B, connected to a UHF HT1000. I've noticed that, in the TX audio, there is a semi-quiet rippling noise in the backround. I've also noticed that a few of the other radios in our department do this too with the mic attached, but not all of them. Is there a reason or cu...

Rayjk110

Well, that would explain why they do goofy sh!t when you TX then....

Rayjk110

Aren't the displays for the 5k band-specific as well? Are the 800MHz and VHF modules interchangeable? They are band specific, sort of. Many people (myself included) have used different "banded" displays on different "banded" radios with no super-drastic results. The characters m...

Rayjk110

With that capability, you could create a 'smart' repeater system that would use P25 ID's in a manner similar to the way the STROKE system used MDC ID's. My friend who implemented and designed the MDC Scrutinization software that Stroke and Fishfar systems is actually thinking of possibly releasing ...

Rayjk110

Cosmetically, it's pretty different. W5: http://i13.ebayimg.com/06/i/000/bf/3d/fe4f_1.JPG O5: http://i20.ebayimg.com/02/i/000/bf/bf/8950_1.JPG Having owned/use both, I prefer the O5 because I think it looks neater, and is easer to operate, but that's just my opinoin. I like the display on the O5 bet...

Rayjk110

Well, that's about what Josh said - set TX to MURS or Ham equivelant.

The UHF one's I've had in the past had ARS (Auto Repeater Split), so if it was on a PS freq, or within +5 MHz of 449.995, you could set ARS to a - (negative) shift and it would only key on Ham.

Rayjk110

Well, you could try inserting it, waiting a second or so, take it out, then put it back in again. This should force the IMPRES charger into a conditioning cycle (per the manual).

Rayjk110

Yep, Will hit it spot-on. That's what the name of it was.

Rayjk110

Yep, it sure does transmitt by itself, on the ham bands. About 5 10ms transmissions, to be exact.

Rayjk110

I use this on a daily basis. It's pretty neat. When it doesn't hit it, it gives a failsoft tone, and reverts TX to simplex (or the current RX frequency for that personality). I find it useful, because it tells me if I'm hitting the Quantar or not. It seems like it checks real quick when you first ke...

A buddy of mine has been recently getting NOS Impres batteries (d/c of 2002/2003) for some of our XTS5000's/. Instead of init. in a conditioning cylce, they instead go to rapid charge. No problem, seems to work fine. They seem to hold a charge. (These are being charged in an IMPRES charger with late...

Rayjk110

You know what...I had this problem recently with a MaxTrac of mine after I messed with the mic grounding/muting options.

If the mic wasn't grounded, there would be no audio, or very little. Try checking that in the RSS. It's a Radius Mobile, so it should be similar.

Rayjk110

Check the accessory connector pins and make sure they're not shorted out. I had this problem once on an AS1 of mine and one of the pins was fubar. Did the exact same thing.... One way I could check was attaching a speaker-mic. It would RX and not TX thru the mic or vice versa depending on the pin. B...

Rayjk110

I had this problem happen a little bit ago when I had multiple CPS applications running at once. (i.e. AstroSaber CPS and Astro25 Mobile CPS both running as I had 2 different radios of mine that I was programming - and consiquently forgot the other app was still running). For somer reason, one or th...

Rayjk110

One more thing to check if you swap cases....are both radios AN (or both BN) revisions? There are 2 different flex connectors, respectively, and they're not interchangeable [the plug size is different]. The tell-tale sign of a BN 3k case is the ABC switch sticker is "half-moon" shaped, whi...

Rayjk110

No no, you won't end up in jail. :lol: Yes, you could swap the "Vocoder Board". They're sold plainly here and on eBay with varios hosts/DSP/flashes. (Sometimes seen as "1mb vocon dsp8") What Nick did was a different story. He legitimately bought the parts to make the radios, flas...

Rayjk110

In my personal travels around I've only seen a couple repeaters that had those wierd splits (But they were in really highly-populated areas were UHF frequencies were already hard to get - I have never seen this in an urban/rural area). I've also seen some repeaters where aka 464.100 was the input an...

Rayjk110

The CDM-Based repeater is the CDR series. The most common one I've seen is the CDR700, although I'm not sure how much they cost. I'll look in my price book when I get home. I would assume it shouldn't be much more than the GR1225 when it came out. They look like the GR300 cabinet, but retrofitted to...

Rayjk110

Reguarding the Waris radios, in my opinion they do not belong in Pub. Safety. Almost every HT1250/1550 I've even seen that's seen it's use has a cracked LCD amongst other problems.

XTS5k, for sure

Rayjk110

I believe it's a 96 then. Bucket seats. It's not a "for sure" that it will be my car, but it's damn close.

Rayjk110

What do the majority of you recommend as a console for a 97 Caprice Classic? It needs to fit the XTL (O5) Faceplate as well as the MaxTrac (but I see many companies selling the faceplate brackets). I'd rather there be as little holes to the floor of the car as possible. I'm new to consoles so bear w...

Rayjk110

Yeah, you really wouldn't want to send it to the depot if it gets "whored". You might not get it back. :o (But you never really know with Mexi-Depot..... it's always guess-work sending things to them) These are the "desirable" flashes: Astro Line (ala AstroSaber/XTS3k): 599108-1C...

Hush, I'm trying to get PSK31 working on mine. Can anyone meet me on 60m, CH 8? 8) DES or AES? Key? I can do PSK31 from the keypad of my XTS4000. 8) Bahahaha That's all good, but can you make a 3011DX speak to you when it's finished loading a key? I can :lol: That trick was definately a new one to ...

Rayjk110

Whoops, Terry made a funny!

Rayjk110

I'm looking for any manuals (preferrable .PDF but any will do...) for the RCH3000. I can't seem to find too much info on the web about it.

Thanks

Rayjk110

Well, being a mobile-only feature would make more sense than having it in a portable too.... I'm just saying it as I heard it. But it does make sense.

Rayjk110

Oh ok. You'd just think that something like a phyiscal pre-amp that would only improve preformance, and possibly be a selling point, would already be turned on! AFAIK, this is an option in the portables as well as mobiles from what I've heard.

Rayjk110

I was pondering the idea the other night of how hard (or if it's easily possible) to make your XTS5k backling/keypad backligt color to a neon blue. Now, I was told that blue LED's draw more power than say green or orange, which would require some more work to do than just simply chaning out the LED'...

Rayjk110

Also, you might want to check the bandwidth settings for that particular personality. I had an issue programming a couple of my XTS's on a local Quantar, and they just wouldn't work - because the previous channel that was in that slot was a 12.5khz one (I had forgotten to change it back). Once it wa...

Rayjk110

If it's 800MHz and rebanding will effect you, then yeah, probably. If it's just V/U and it's cheap enough/free, yeah, but other than that DSP7 has always sounded fine to my ears and the difference between that and 08.03.03 wasn't that dramatic.

Rayjk110

Option?? Why would this be listed as an "option" that you have to pay for in a flash? I was told that the reason CDM mobiles RX so great is that because they have a preamp that is already enabled, but besides the moto money making factor, why would they charge you to turn the physical prea...

Rayjk110

I'll have to try hooking one of the UHF 5k's up to my buddy's R2670 next time. I did not know they could decode that. Cool!

Rayjk110

It's sent only in IMBE (possibly VSELP - I never played with it, but then again it might not be supported under VSELP fw)

If both radios are flashed for it, and both radios have that option enabled, it should work.
