can you imagine some kind of gateway that will allow TMS (the rest of the worlds TMS...) interface with a public safety radio system?

Do you really want to carry a XTS around with you all of the time.....
Not me!
I would much prefer when not working to have the ability to just have a cell phone with me at times. While I may have a portable in the car, I am not going walking through the mall with a radio on my hip if I don't need to have it......

My point simply is there are a ton of people who would rather carry a small cell phone with them all of the time that a two way radio with them all of the time. Sorry, I just don't wear a radio on my hip 24/7. When works over.....radio is on the desk. I may have it out for some casual conversation with a few others from time to time and yes, I do always keep one in the POV for emergencies. No way would I have one with me all of the time.....
No reason to, I especially don't want people to be able to identify me as a possible authority figure all of the time. Everyone has a cell phone. See someone with a XTS radio on you automatically think Police, Fire, EMS or some other public group. Yes, I know lots of these radio are privately owned, but I choose not to have one on all of the time.

Humhead wins the thread. I was going to use something a little more challenging, but figured it wouldn't be sporting.

Errr, I think you are fibbing - how do you get more than 8 characters into your Soft ID field?
Posted: Sun Dec 03, 2006 11:52 pm
by bellersley
Simple, it's actually FL 01/92. But, you get the idea. I think a softID can be more than 8 digits, can it not? The display is something like 14 characters so it's certainly capable of it.

And no Soft ID cannot be more than 8 chars long... Unless of cause you have Q675 - Enhanced Soft ID coverage

Heard a rumor from a reliable source that late '07 Big M plans to release flash upgrades that will allow omni-link between discrete P25 trunking systems, as well as accept any NAC, not just those within 8 of the system #.

Yeah a mate and I were playing with our radios one day and we couldn't work out why our Digital ID's would not come up and why our displays would go blank... Turns out soft id was enabled but we hadn't set an ID up in CPS.

I even tried aligning the radios until it dawned on me... well... DUH!!!!

I think its a 7.x smartzone feature.
From the last MTUG it will let radio to radio and dispatcher to radio send SMS messages.
It's good for an adreess or phone number etc or something confidential to an officer. Much quicker and less resources than private call

I see hilarious results from this, based on officers thinking they have a new form of secure communication and the next line of scanners coming with a decode feature.

played with it for about 20 mins last night.
a little on the complicated side.
two types of messages (quick) and stored.
can be edited on a per transmission basis
requires IP stuff to be set up in CPS
will work radio to radio w/o infrastructure support
will work direct or repeated (also set up in CPS)
more to follow
and yes, the computer key is now functional

Hey Doug,
Can you check Soft ID with CPS9 and firmware 9?
Looks like they added ARS login field in the radiowide/general tab. From what I see the ARS login is also the Soft ID. On our radios the ARS login is checked but greyed out. I think you need the packet data option to edit it.
Thanks

Soft ID, if the radio is option capable, should be under Astro Systems>Astro Configuration>Soft ID, not Radio Wide>General...
Posted: Sat Jan 13, 2007 8:09 pm
by RocketNJ
Yes, pre- CPS 9.0. Try the new CPS. The Soft ID checkbox is selectable but the name field is greyed out. When putting the ? cursor over it , it states Soft ID uses the ARS login username.

ASTRO SPECTRA Plus/XTS5000, 2500, 1500/MT1500/XTL5000, 2500, 1500
New Version: R09.00.00
Old Version: R08.00.00
RSS Version: R09.00.00
Upgrade Model: N/A
New Feature
Abstract: Addition of POP 25 feature to enable over-the-air codeplug programming.
System Platforms Affected: ASTRO 25 6.9
Special Configurations: POP25 is supported in the following subscribers: XTS 5000, XTS 2500 portables, XTL
5000,XTL 2500 mobiles
Description: Programming Over Project 25 (POP25) is a new Motorola feature that allows the subscriber radio
configuration to be accessed and updated over the air via the ASTRO 25 Integrated Voice and Data (IV&D)
trunked system. Utilizing the Customer Programming Software (CPS), POP25 provides access to all
configuration parameters programmable through the traditional programming software, excluding FLASH port
or subscriber tuning functions.

OTAP is what we've all been waiting for forever. Watch the tutorial video, its even better. Bad thing is, those of you without trunked systems are out of luck for now and those of us with trunked systems are looking at more money to use the feature. Just how much remains to been seen. I could be wrong and it could be capable already but just as with the text messaging service, not too much documentation out yet. I do look forward to the day I can program a radio or radios without having to leave my seat

There's a sticky in the astro forum about setting up off network text messaging. Probably stands as the only documentation about how to setup and configure that off network.

My guess as well but it does reference an ARS in the tutorial.

I just got my first version 9 radio back from the depot and the ID display does work on a 3600 baud trunking analog talkgroup now like it did on on the P25 Talkgroups.
