My XTS, Astro Spectra, and Astro Saber are all programmed alike. Minus a couple changes per radio. As far as alpha tags go, If its a public safety freq, I will just tag it with the name of the Dept and what they use it for, for Ham stuff, I normally don't put the callsign as the tag, just the RX fre...

We were still using iDEN at work up until about 2 weeks ago, They replaced our i530's with the Sprint equivalent and they are TERRIBLE. No service in our building, and it barely works outside the building. Sprint's Direct Connect is a JOKE.

KD8GWD

I'll be there, like every year...

KD8GWD

On my belt:
XTS2500 M3 VHF w/ FPP
Verizon iPhone

In my truck:
Astro Spectra W3 HHCH VHF

KD8GWD

I'll be there... Also, no P25 repeaters in Dayton yet...

KD8GWD

The wiki idea sounds great... I'd assist in migrating information over if needed...

KD8GWD

My XTS2500 Model III has the same bluish tint in certain light. I marked it up to it being something in the plastic LCD window...

I had heard a bit of traffic on 151.88 P25 yesterday afternoon...

KD8GWD

Now that I am P25 capable, I will be on 151.88 also.

This thread may help you out a bit.

That would be the flashcode for the radio. There are some utilities on the internet that will decode what that means. I believe that all zeros with a 9 at the end is conventional operation only.

KD8GWD

Ill be there... Friday and saturday hopefully...

KD8GWD

The flash decodes as analog only... These wont work...

KD8GWD

Ill defently be there this year!

If im not mistaken, all MCS2000's are FlashPort radios. This just means that you can add different features by having the radio flashed by Motorola.

KD8GWD

Glad to hear it didnt fall into bad hands!

KD8GWD

Very nice. How did you get the video feed to work like that?

KD8GWD

My god!

Im assuming that is stuff you got there?

KD8GWD

I too am a Treo fanboy... I do have some hands on experience w/ the Q and It wasnt very good...

Laggy menus, ALOT of random reboots, Data loss...

My suggestion: Stick w/ Treo. Much better OS IMO...

KD8GWD

Since its going to the Depot... Be ready for a loooong wait! Not saying it will happen, But its been known too... Also, make sure its the same radio internally as well, Because radios have come back as lower end models...

Anyone gonna be on NON encrypted MURS?

I called today regarding a Minitor V I sent in about three months ago; I totally forgot about it until I read this post. When I made the phone call, I couldn't find the reference number for the RMA (I have it somewhere). To make a long story short, Motorola has NO RECORD of this pager being sent in...

KD8GWD

Its definetly not something that has been added. I do believe that its a factory Motorola sticker... Next to it it says "See Radio Label" if that means anything...

KD8GWD

Ive asked a few of my radio buddies and they dont know what it means, Can someone help me out? (Its a blue dot on the bottom...)

KD8GWD

Oh yeah... I'll be there!

KD8GWD

Decals look like they could be better... But then again I work for a decal shop in Dayton that does alot of Sheriff's Departments.

For the install, Looks great! And yeah... They need new radios or at least ditch the Ericsson!

Try here. I googled it before I posted and this is all the info I got is that its UHF 454.05... Can someone decode the rest for me? Gee, that's interesting. I got that it was a one-channel UHF with stored voice. Funny, the model number doesn't tell you the frequency. I wonder how you came up with t...

Can't tell specific band split unless it's listed on the pager ID tag.
Option Y-- gives band split.

Thanks man! 'preciate it!

Can someone tell me what that decodes to?

Hah! In a few weeks, My shop will be lettering a 06 Charger! Can't wait to drive it!

KD8GWD

Say... do you have any pictures of this radio?

KD8GWD

Maybe I'm getting Old Timer's Disease but Dayton this year could not compare with 10-12 years ago. No good stuff, former Moto sellers no shows, everything was gone by 0800. Couldn't even find a VHF GM300 with PS. Sad to see this fine institution going this way. The expanded AF Museum was what made ...

KD8GWD

Oh man! Dayton 2006 was awesome! BTW: If anyone was there on sunday, and walked by the Mini Donut maker, You would have saw me in the blue striped shirt, lol.

KD8GWD

I'll be there Sunday for sure! Is there someplace the batlabs guys will be?

KD8GWD

Very nice!

KD8GWD

Yeah, and you also have to register to see it, lol...

KD8GWD

Ohh, Its illegal? I didnt know that... Sorry guys...

KD8GWD

Do they require that you pay for your own radio equipment? Wouldn't they issue you the radios for their system, or am i wrong? And you managed to list some VHF as well as some 800mHz freq's in there in that list, and that kind of bandsplit is NOT happening on any Motorola Radio ever made for commer...
