EDIT: I remind you that by the FCC's own rules; itinerant is meant to define radio systems, that move place to place and maybe on the air for an indeterminate amount of time. Indeed, I just remember been told an itinerant license doesn't extend to fixed point operation. Simplex itinerant frequencie...

Osprey

But is FB2I operation permissible on property you own?

Osprey

Oh, that's a good point. I'd toyed with trying to resell access, either as a community repeater or a single-frequency LTR system, though I'm not sure how successful it would be. That intent might be adequate. (My sole proprietorship web hosting company probably doesn't need a repeater. ;)) Honestly...

Osprey

A good place to start is looking up licenses in your area on ULS, but what you mentioned will probably be insufficient justification to get granted a repeater license. With the usual disclaimers about this not being legal advice, it's my understanding that any commercial activity qualifies under 90....

Osprey

People cashing out gear to put towards a Liberty?

I haven't noticed the usual suspects listing much above their typical haul.

Osprey

Many people in the GMRS community have spent some time trying to carve a bit more functionality out of the service, but the only place the FCC has relented is DOS. And even then they probably only did because of the ridiculous Garmin Rino ruling. What happened with the Garmin thing? I don't really ...

Osprey

I believe if you delve into the guts of the rules regarding GMRS, you cannot interconnect to the PSTN (as you stated), you cannot link multiple repeaters together, and you cannot interconnect to other services. FHSS radios would likely be considered as operating in another service (ISM). This is it...

Osprey

If they already aren't very tight, it probably won't take very much. I just tried it for the first time in a while, you want to loosen them enough that the center peg in the spanners appear to recede, and the spanners/shrouds themselves are relatively easy to move around. Do it a few times and you'l...

Osprey

Opening Sabers is a fairly easy task, yeah. The screws will just remove the battery plate (impeding further dissasembly; forget about them). The spanner nuts on the bottom are what you need to loosen. Some Security bit sets have usable bits, failing that you can take smallish needle-nose pliers and ...

Osprey

Doesn't the classification of they key inside the module also effect things? Ie, if it has a top secret key, the module becomes top secret?

Osprey

If an MTS2000 is equipped with a DES-XL encryption module, can you disable XL operation to use plain DES, as you can with Sabers?

Osprey

ACREM, a user's group, seems to indicate that encryption is permissible on the CBRS "General" channels (9-10, 12-21, 24-30, 39), http://www.acrem.org.au/Files/CB_Submission_June05_final.pdf (Page 12) Although the use of ‘Speech Encryption’ or “Scramblers” is prohibited under the Class Lice...

Osprey

Yeah, rapid charger on an NiMH battery. This is an ooold post.

Long since fixed by using a Nicad battery.

Osprey

Not under windows.

Osprey

Do Systems Sabers dump their key when the battery is removed with power on if IKR is selected? If not, is there any way to zeroize the key in the radio?

Osprey

I suppose, but it doesn't change the fact that a Maxtrac or a ham transceiver are not Part 95 certified and are illegal on FRS.

Osprey

You won't find any type-accepted FRS paging equipment. Data transmission on GMRS is illegal. Don't quote me on it, but I believe MURS (154MHz part only) allows for one-way data communicitions. Ham equipment would be ineligable for MURS operation, however a Maxtrac which is Part 90 certified would be...

Osprey

I hope this thread is not too old, but I have a question regarding this issue. On another board, I was told in no uncertain terms (and rather rudely) that it is not legal to use a Saber on GMRS as it is not specifically type accepted for part 95 use. However, N9LLO has stated above that: Radios tha...

Osprey

The one off my HT1000 says 3205514W01, a google search seems to agree.

Osprey

You're using Systems Saber RSS not regular Saber RSS, right?

Osprey

What's the radio's flashcode?

Osprey

I don't know too much about the HT1250, sorry. But this place is full of great people who know every model Motorola's made backwards and fowards.

Good luck, and have fun.

Osprey

I'm sure it is, yes.

Osprey

If you have a GMRS license, you may transmit on the GMRS channels, and the first 7 FRS channels (known as interstital), but with 5W max TPO. If the HT1250 can be programmed down to 2W and narrowband on the 151 channels, MURS is fine. From what I've read here, Ebay aftermarket RIBless cables are hit-...

Osprey

I remember reading something about Systems Saber RSS letting you use the switch/button for different options. Maybe they're SysSaber Cases, or relabled SysSabers?

Osprey

I had a Prostar for my Saber. I must've gotten one from a bad batch, because it never worked right. It'd randomly turn the radio off, and it rarely transmitted right. It'd give you a beep (Securenet sidetone or TX on Non-TX channel), and then it'd change pitch like crazy. Eventually, it died. Those ...

Osprey

I didn't want to bother with changing the bandsplit, so I passed on it. Probably going to pick up an SS1 and a KVL around Christmas.

Osprey

Bleh, it's a Fed split

Osprey

Ah, I see. Great! Thanks, William!

Osprey

A pal of mine has a 1-Model R Systems Saber I'm interested in buying. Are there such things as factory Ruggedized SysSabers, or is it for sure a recased model? In the same vein, I remember reading a few threads here that talked about how R Models have to be specially sealed or pressurized or somethi...

Osprey

Thanks KB.

You wouldn't happen to know of any quarter wave MX antennas, would you? Or would such a thing overstress the RF connector?

Osprey

Larsen makes a 9.5" 150-161 that terminates to a Saber/MT1000 Connector (MX). Another company I forget the name of made an 11.5" antenna for 2m that has an MX on it. Does anyone know of one of similar size (or bigger) that covers 151-154?

Thanks.

Osprey

Yep, still adjusts volume. The whole pot doesn't appear to move when I adjust it, no. I can sense this is going to result in me paying a technically adept person to undo my dumb mistake

.

Osprey

I'm not sure what you're telling me to do. The first time, I didn't take the shield off or anything like that, just the front of the case. I can't see any solder connections as it is, and I'm not too eagar to do (more?) damage to the flex cables.

Osprey

Well, the temptation to open up my HT1000 finally hit me today. Bad idea. I pulled the knobs off, and I noticed something odd aout the power/volume knob. Didn't seem to stop right. Eh, I'll check it later, I thought. Decased the radio, looked around. Had enough, so I put the case back on, and reatta...

Osprey

Okay, let me revise this.

Let's say I've got a battery eliminator and a rechargable AA/C/D Cell battery box with a cigarette lighter output. How can I power the Saber without killing it?

Osprey

The movie had no explaination for it. Halfway through, the bad guys make them stop using their radios altogether.

Osprey

Die Hard 3 was NYPD, yeah. I think they thought they were being cool enough using the radio, nevermind the antenna and lack of secure.

Osprey

Tonight, I watched Die Hard 3 for the first time since becoming a Motorola geek. I remembered a thread here (I think) asking if Die Hard 3 had Motorolas in it. http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/4681/cap1087vm.jpg http://img492.imageshack.us/img492/4144/cap1263tv.jpg http://img492.imageshack.us/img4...

Osprey

Actually, it'd be a bit different. DES is 56-Bit, isn't it?

Osprey

I've seen HT1000 battery packs that are basically AA cartridges. Thales has one for their P25 radio. Does such an animal exist for the Saber?

Osprey

By that I mean, in text. How would one type it?

And older thread here seemed to indicate it was 8 pairs of hex digits. Is that accurate?

Osprey

This sounds expensive. I think I'll pass on buying the MX300s. He still thinks they might be programmable, but there aren't any programmable R series?

Thanks for the info, all.

Osprey

I'm looking into buying a few MX300Rs from a friend. He hasn't messed with them in many years. He doesn't know if they're the crystal or programmable kind. I have the link for the company that can program the programmable kind (Brinkley), but what of the crystal ones? How do I go about getting those...

Osprey

Thank you sir! It's got the BL watermark. Was it in an older revision, or did I just overlook it? Also, is there a place that can give definitions of the names of the pins? I assume things like "Data/Transmit Data" and "Clear to Send" would be for programming? Or is Transmit Data...

Osprey

Aha.

I ask because I'm looking to modify an old H-250 Military handset for use on my new HT1000. Though, I suppose, I could just buy and take apart a hand mic and figure out what goes where.

Osprey

http://www.batlabs.com/images/visaracc.gif

Is this for the Visar only, or for all Jedi HTs? If so, how do the pins on the diagram correllate to the ones on the radio?

If not, where can I find a pinout that wuold be valid for a D series 16-Channel HT1000?

Osprey

I searched, and I didn't find anything. The only thing was referencing to a Nextel-owned trunked system in 900mhz with XTS3000s. Is it possible to mod it to the 900MHz amateur band? Or is it like the Systems Saber/Astro Saber, and can't be?

Osprey

NTN5835A is DESL-XL.

I'm not sure what NTN5763B.

Osprey

Thanks for the response.

Do you know if it's possible to set DPL and PL? Like, putting A as clear, B as PL, and C as DPL?
