Not overly happy with the audio on the "stock" 1 watt speaker in my APX6000XE portables.... Liking the looks of the 3 watt speakers found in APX8000 Portables... has anyone tried replacing just the speaker? I know the 3 watt speaker is an upgraded option on a 6000, just not sure if it come...

Does anyone know why they do not work with XTL2500s? I was going to get one but apparently it only works with the 5000 in the XTL line.

the PMMN4097
Mobile Microphone with Bluetooth Gateway
I searched the board via the part number and no one has discussed it, does anyone have any thoughts or experiences with one? Wondering what the distance would be, and if it also provides receive audio from the host mobile.

Andre

Does anyone know if the RMN5052A compares to the 5053A? appear very similar, however the 5052A is less expensice by far. Looking to get the improved audio that a 5053 has

Andre

does anyone on the board deal with Kollman Radio? I placed an order with them 3 weeks ago and they've mysteriously disappeared off the web and I havn't received my order.....

Same control head I use everyday with my personal setup, has worked like a charm for a few years

Andre

nope, however, I tried cloning another codeplug to it, but didn't notice it had a slight difference and didn't take, and then tried again for sh*ts and grins and its working, not locking up..... :-\

Don't know if they have been re-capped...

I just bought to VHF Astro Spectras here on the board and having an issue with both, they are both doing the same thing. They turn on fine, no error codes. Scan and receive fine, but when I transmit, when I let off the PTT button on the mic, the radio continues to transmit. It does not transmit from...

Andre

I've looked over the service manual for this speaker and it doesn't list what each wire does, I know the red and black are power and ground, the blue is Audio+ and bare wire is Audio-, but what do the white and white/black wires do??? has anyone ever hooked one of these speakers to the second DB25 c...

does anyone know the wiring schematic for a HSN4035 Speaker?

I am trying to figure out if my astro spectra will display Astro ID aliases from the Astro Call List. The radio does have Digital ID Display. Basically, instead of the number 1 showing up on the display, I want it to read DISPATCH I put 1 and Dispatch in the Astro Call List but it doesn't decode the...

Looking to see which is the better performer in your opinion
- Motorola Spectrum
- Laird Technologies

- both full length VHF antennas with 3db gain bases.

Andre

Thank You very much!!!

Andre

in the past i have been able to adjust the squelch setting from a radio user standpoint by pressing the mon button, long press. now for some reason, my radio will not do it. a short press will toggle on/off the monitor feature, but when i try the longpress, it gives me the error or blank type of bee...

I have been looking for info in regards to this and cannot find anything, perhaps there is someone out there that can help me. I am looking to convert some Quick Call IIB codes to tones. I understand there are tables to guide me, but I get confused very quickly. These are the codes that I am looking...

Andre

Another question, I also have a low power astro spectra in a consolette, it has a DB15F on that back that is not being used, it also has 2 DB25F on the front, which both have ribbons coming off of them. do I need to use a low power program cable on the back port, or can i use a high power program ca...

Andre

All of the radios I would be programming are High Power / remote mount style. Some W9, some W7 and most W4.

Andre

I am looking to buy a programming cable for Astro Spectra mobiles and cannot decide which cable would best suit my needs. I do already have a RIB. What I want to do is simply program these radios. NO flash upgrades.... On MOL I have 3 options.... I think.... 0180300B10 3080369B73 RKN4047A Obviously,...

NASCAR is using this XPR 6550 and are operating in "digital" on a few of the channels, the NASCAR Officials even have some sort of encryption.

Andre

I have been looking and looking and I cannot find a part number, or maybe it doesn't even exist. Looking for Astro Spectra CPS. Not Astro 25 Mobile, Not Astro Spectra Plus.

Andre

They wanted to be like NASCAR

Andre

In the cps set the particular button you want to use for this feature to "MS1". There is no more that needs to be done in CPS. Once you are done with programming and are using the radio in normal operation, go to the channel that you want it to be and press and hold that button until it be...

Andre

Not to Hijack your thread, but I think the BEST live audio site I've ever come across is Southwestern New Hampshire District Fire Mutual Aid 's Live Feed. Audio only, and it sounds like it comes directly out of the console at Dispatch. Comes across very clear. I'm sure summa ya'll heard of KCF-415. ...

Andre

I noticed this last weekend that NASCAR Officials are starting to carry EX-600s, they still have a bunch of HT1250s and CP200s. But the more important officials carry a EX-600, with a surveillance kit. So the front speaker audio is not so paramount.

Andre

We used to run Kenwood TK-790s in our ambulances until we got free Motorola XTL 5000s with W7 heads from the State. Personally I like both of them, for what we use(d) them for. If I were to start from scratch, I would probably go with the Kenwood, $$$.

8505644V02 VHF Helical Antenna 150-162 7.3"
or
8505834W02 VHF Antenna 150-162 5"

Which antenna would be better? I use an XTS5000 and XTS2500, primarily in the 150-160 range.

before anyone suggests, got a bunch of the 8.1" Dipole wideband antennas, and I don't like 'em.

I was on MOL looking for RSS for the Astro Spectra and it told me that it has since been replaced with RVN4183U which is shows as a CPS and not an RSS??? Is this something new? Maybe someone can enlighten me.
