Did you ever solve this issue? I'm encountering the same problem with my XPR radios. I'm trying to set a channel for NOAA Weather Radio and using their 1050 Hz tone in Quik Call II, using A-B, Long B, with both A and B set for 1050 Hz. This has always worked for Maxtrac, GM-300s and MTS models. Usin...

yagermeister

I have several channels set for NOAA Weather Radio. I program them for Quik-Call II, A-B, Long B, with both A and B set for 1050 Hz. This has always worked on Maxtracs, and I dont include them on any scan lists. In the zone programming, RX is set for CSQ and Quik-Call II Signaling System. If I put t...

yagermeister

Thank you for the help. I’ve ordered an accessory connector with ignition sense wiring. I’m really hoping the radio will start up with it. Otherwise, its off to the repair shop.
Thank You,
Gary

yagermeister

Would the radio power up anyway with an accessory port programming cable?

yagermeister

Can something in the software be set to make a correct accessory necessary to power up the radio? I cant perform the troubleshooting listed in the service manual
Thank You,
Gary

yagermeister

Thank you for verifying that. It seems to work fine and I got a good price on it.
Thank You,

My XPR6550 is my first Mototrbo radio. It seems to take a long time to startup, maybe 4 seconds or longer. All of the older Motorola HTs I have are pretty much instant on. Is this "bootup" time normal, and because the radio is loading the Mototrbo firmware? Just curious.
Thank You,
Gary

Just replied to you on another thread:) I have a few of the 8505518V01 NAD6563 antennas. Think some guys call them chin scratchers:) I have a few that are new or nearly new. I got information of a different antenna that is supposed to work better down on the lower 2M frequencies, so I've been using ...

yagermeister

If you do decide to part with some of your older programming platforms, like DOS or early version Windows laptops please put something on the thread we have here. I haven't been checking the equipment for sale or equipment wanted nearly as regularly as when all of the old JT, MT, MTS and other radio...

yagermeister

Just checked and the M1225 available under legacy software is: Radius 1225 Conventional (18 Jan 2011 Zip File 6MB) Customer Programming Software Part Number: HVN9054 Product Applicability: M1255 I'd have to run the computer to see what release version it says, but as far as I know it was the last re...

yagermeister

I'd have to check which RSS version it is. No charge at all. It is posted under Legacy software I believe. It was the last version they released. From what I saw, it is the only older RSS they had you could download for free. I have to fill out some online forms to get permissions to use their busin...

yagermeister

Sorry for no updates. Gave up on running the old 80486 machine in DOS or trying to run a version with Windows 3.1 on the same machine, IBM PS Valuepoint, 80486 CPU at 50 MHz. Thru information here I was finally successful getting permission to use the version of M1225 software that Motorola still ha...

yagermeister

I'm registered on the Motorola Solutions site, but haven't paid for a software license. I assume you would need to have paid for software access even if it's a no longer supported product? I did the online chat with someone there and they told me it was no longer available. I'll have to take another...

yagermeister

Thank you for providing the link. Much better than trying to sort thru antennas on their website.

yagermeister

Do you know if it is just a folded monopole as they list, but not a helical antenna? Would be interested to see what the internals look like but don't want to destroy an antenna.

yagermeister

Looked up the part number on Motorola Solutions. It's described as a folded Monopole antenna, UHF and GPS enabled. It doesn't seem the end of the antenna is connected to ground, as others I've seen described. It seems to work fairly well on my MT-2000, but I wonder if it is an impedance mismatch for...

yagermeister

That looks exactly like it! I have it on an EX-560 and it seems to work well on a repeater that's about 25 miles away. What do they do to make it a "GPS" antenna? I'm happy there are sites like this to help figure things out as the Motorola Solutions site is very tough to look for antennas...

yagermeister

Was wondering if anyone has used a Motorola stubby UHF antenna that is 90 mm long. It has the bat wings logo on the base and is marked UHF and it has a white insulator around the center connector and green around the base of the threads. I can't find it listed anywhere.

yagermeister

Happy you made it back from your daughter's OK:) I honestly don't know what to say about the radios. I don't know if he doesn't want to ship them or what, so I'm not worrying about it much more. I spent way too much time trying to get RSS running to program them myself. If I hear anything I'll let y...

yagermeister

Satelite: Where are you located? The radios are in S.W. WA and most likely would have to be shipped. Don't think that 8 of these in a large Priority Mail box would get bounced around enough to be a problem if properly packed. Should probably be double boxed as well to be safe. I'm still working with...

yagermeister

Is there anywhere to obtain Rev. 4.0 of the software now that Motorola Solutions no longer has it available? Do they still consider it as intellectual property now that it isn't available and is no longer supported?

yagermeister

You're absolutely right, especially when you consider the original price and the build quality. I'm just trying to save him some money on the project. Do you know of a shop in the Pacific Northwest that does Motorola programming?

yagermeister

Karl: Thank you for confirming that. I suspect my only hope of programming these radios, especially since they were used in a logging truck fleet and I know nothing of their programming history, is to try with M1225 Rev. 4.0 on my Windows XP machine, since I can't get Rev. 3.1 to install on my Windo...

yagermeister

Am I correct that Radius 1225 Ver. 4.0 isn't the same software as CPS R04.00.00?

yagermeister

The release notes for Ver. 3.1 say it will work with Windows 3.1, Windows 3.11 or Windows 95. I tried installing it on a Windows 3.1 IBM desktop running an 80486 CPU at 50 MHz. It installs until it hangs when the message "Setup is Registering Installed Files". CTRL-ALT-DEL is needed to fre...

yagermeister

Forgot to list that I'm using a Motorola RIB and Motorola cables. RIB to radio cable is an OEM Motorola cable that's made for Maxtrac, GM-300s, etc., that has the RJ-45 connector on one end and a small box with a BNC connector on it in the middle. I think the BNC connector is for connecting to a Ser...

yagermeister

Hi Jim: I suspect you're right about the capacitors going bad on my laptops, and that being why the floppy drives quit working. I'm trying to install on a slow 80486 IBM desktop computer, running around 50 MHz CPU speed. It definitely isn't too fast. Not sure why the install goes all the way thru th...

yagermeister

I'm trying to get some M1225s programmed for a friend, and cannot get the software to install correctly. I'm working with an old IBM PS / Valuepoint 80486 computer, running at 50 MHz I think. It has DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.1 installed on it. I'm trying to install Version 3.1 Release Build 2 while run...

yagermeister

Should have mentioned that there is only one channel assigned to Zone 2 right now.

yagermeister

I have 16 channels in Zone 1. Zone 2 is the one I'm having issues with. I will try right clicking in the channel list area in Zone 2 and see if that works. I don't recall having this problem with the RSS for the MTS2000 radio. I'll let you know if I get it working.
Thank You,
Gary

yagermeister

I'm having an issue with programming an EX600 VHF. I can create enough personalities, but when I create a Zone II, it will not allow me to assign more than one personality. I know it's probably something simple I'm missing but wonder if anyone could help steer me in the right direction.
Thank You

yagermeister

Well, I didn't figure this out, but I did get the radio to let the RSS write to it and made the button and switch assignments I had been trying to make before. I went into the service section, and looked at different things, like VCO crossover frequency, filter settings, etc. I made no changes to an...

yagermeister

I've had to change crossover frequencies before, because someone had tried to hack them out of band, but the radio still worked. Think it was an MT2000 UHF. Radio worked but squelch didn't. Changed the crossover frequencies and it worked great. Like I said, I'm inclined to leave it as is because FPP...

yagermeister

CoM: Thank you very much for the info. As it's an "R" split, I didn't figure it had been hexedited to go out of band, but it's possible someone wanted it to go higher or lower. I 've hexedited a few MT2000 or MTS2000s before, but not a JT1000. I'll research that, and will proceed with caut...

yagermeister

I have an "R" model UHF JT1000 that won't accept programming. The radio reads fine with the RSS, and shows RSS Version 03.00. That is the software version I'm using. I can modify the codeplug, and save an archive copy with no problems. When I try to write to the radio I get an error messag...

yagermeister

I have a pair of VHF Spirit MV11C radios that seem to be unique. This pair is in orange cases, and has the red dots above the Is in SPIRIT on the front of the radio. As with other Spirit models, you program the frequency and squelch code by holding the PTT button when you power on the radio, and fol...

yagermeister

It should be aligned correctly. I had a friend go thru it and he has a service monitor and all of the necessary test equipment. Does it sound like that could be the issue? I could send it back and have him take a look at it. Seems strange that nuisance delete only works for a few minutes and then sc...

yagermeister

I have a JT1000 that will open squelch on a channel and you just hear noise. Pressing nuisance delete will make it go away but it will land on the same channel again sooner or later and again just noise. Raising the squelch setting for the channel seems to have no effect. Rotating the channel select...

Steve:
Do you know what brands of USB to Serial Adapters use the Prolific chipset? I've successfully used an IOGear GUC232A with Windows 7 (32 bit) and an MTS2000 with CPS R02.03.00, but had no luck at all with a Sabrent brand USB to Serial Adapter.

yagermeister

Will: Thank you for posting the revised schematic. So far, I haven't had any issues using my RLN4008B or the eBay clone (KAWA?) I picked up several years ago. I'm using mostly slower, older 80486 CPU machines on Maxtracs, GM300s, GP300s and a few HT1000s and MT2000s. Where does the RS-232 incompatib...

yagermeister

Thank you for posting the link. This should be what I need.

yagermeister

Hi:
Does anyone know where a Service Manual (6880309C92) could be found for the RLN4008B RIB? I assume that Motorola would no longer carry this.
Thank You

yagermeister

Yeah, that's the list I was looking at also. I don't see Select 5 mentioned anywhere for the MTS series. The S/F showed up as the 9th item, which would be where Secure is on the list. Seems funny that they don't list exactly what the display shows in the manual. This is a Model I, with the small top...

yagermeister

I appreciate your help. Sure enough I put a fully charged battery on the radio and it goes thru selftest and works now. I had recently charged a couple of Motorola NiMH batteries that I had on the two MTS2000s, and I took a battery off of one that worked fine and put it on the suspect radio. It didn...

yagermeister

I have a Model I VHF MTS2000 that won't power up. It was opened up to verify component IDs, and now will not power up; the green LED flashes very briefly when the radio is turned on, then nothing. Both flex cables appear to be in good shape, and are seated evenly. Can anyone recommend a repair shop ...

yagermeister

I have a Model I VHF MTS2000 that I'm having trouble diagnosing. If I put the radio into RF Test Mode, by pressing SB3 5 times after the Self Test, and then press Side Button 2, the following text displays come up: CSQ TPL DPL TLS THS DTM M12 and then S/F I can't find any reference in the service ma...

I'm happy somebody had success with this radio. I found the correct software (4800dual.exe) and got a cable with the built-in interface electronics. No luck reading or writing to the radio. The person that sold it didn't know what the password was, or how to enter it. All I've gotten is ERROR READIN...

yagermeister

I recently acquired a Standard GX4800UT UHF Trunking mobile radio, and can't seem to find any information on programming. Does anyone here have experience with this particular model?
Thank You

yagermeister

Dan:
I just bought an MT2000 a few days ago, and cannot find a user manual. The closest thing I could find was a MTS2000 user manual on the UC Irvine website. Could you direct me to where you found your manual?
Thank You,

I've tried using one of these KAWA RIB(less?) units on an IBM PS/ValuePoint 486 DX2 machine that has the UART16450 or 16550A serial ports and have had no success at all. Depending on which port is used (A or B), how the ports are configured, how many (if any) drivers are in Config.sys and Autoexec.b...
