That is very strange. What release of MCC7500 are you running? I have definitely successfully deployed exactly what you are talking about using 7.15 M1 core with enhanced CCGW blades.

Did you get this resolved? First, I would double check the Tone Segment, Tone Sequence, Tone Command, and Tone Table configurations you have setup in PM. First check that the custom Tone Table references the correct Tone Command that would map the F1 TX and F1 Select to the Tone Sequence that sends ...

The card you need for to add a base station is a BIM (Base Interface Module), you'll know it by the potentiometer on the front. Find an unused TDM address by looking at your CDM, then add the resource in CDM configured as you need it with that address defined. The DIP switches on the front bottom of...

So, I have recently upgraded my Centracom II (OMI based) to Centracom Gold Elite. The reason, I wanted to add more channels and was running out of room in the front end rack and wanted something to do. So, I acquired the COIM (thanks Rod Farva), the CIE (for $15 on eBay), found some newer BIMs, and ...

I am looking at a quantar control card with part number TTN4094C, SCM v20.10.xxx. Is this SCM v number the same as the firmware? ie, will it support P25/IMBE?

Sorry for reviving this thread.

Thanks.

I installed my W9 astro spectra in this old whip today. Only 90,000 miles, it still runs great. Its not done yet, I have not mounted the antennas, just mounted the head and ran power. To mount the head I removed the console and bolted the bracket to the tray in front of the shift. http://i137.photob...

MCS 2000 K split radios cover the whole VHF land mobile band from 136-174 factory.

I have a HMN1056D hand mic, that does not work in my SVA. Is this mic incompatible for some reason, as it works fine on a GM300. Or is my problem inside the SVA?

Thanks

Make sure nothing is set to Priority Scan. That is whats clicking. It should non-priority, or standard.

No I did not, I asked during a Mission Critical radios training session.

You should be able to call them, they always gladly answer our questions.

It needs the Federal version of CPS to program it. Other than that, I do not think anything,

I'm wondering why a repeater is not going to happen. The price of putting those TPL amps in the cars, will exceed the amount of a GR1225 repeater. Simplex will work OK for a base to mobile operation, but for mobile to mobile coverage there is not much you can do to make it better other than what was...

I asked /\/\ about this and this is the response i recieved: Can you do conventional text messaging on a quantar repeater? o Quantar supports P25 trunking and conventional IV&D. We tested the we found that the Quantar (PDR) repeats the text no problem (with one caveat) That caveat is: o ...

emsbuff3240

that is just the power supply.

You will still need the card cage, and the proper cards to go in it.

emsbuff3240

I have one here, that ive done a bit of work on.

Ive also got the manuals.

Shoot me a PM, with your phone # if you want and ill give you any info you need out of the manuals, or my brain.

Interesting, we had the exact same problem at the shop today, we put a jumper in, I forget from what to what, but it worked. I see if i can find out on mon.

Mobiles, Im not sure. Probably a motorcycle edition XTL. Portables, the new TRBO portables are supposedly waterproof. or the XTS5000R, 2500I, I think the 1500 is available in a submersible version too. Vertex-Standard makes a few too. http://www.rfwiz.com/VertexStandard/Portables/VX-920_Radio.htm Lo...

emsbuff3240

I'm pretty sure you cant hack the band limits on a waris portable...

Something about the bandsplit info is stored in the radio and not the CPS.

Lets clarify. The following motorola portables will do P25: ASTRO Saber XTS3000 XTS3500(thanks VX) XTS1500 XTS2500 XTS5000 possibly the MT1500, but I do no know if motorola has released the P25 software for it. For the radio to do P25, you need a flashcode that starts in an odd number, usually a 1 o...

emsbuff3240

thats a HOT radio, elroy.

nice job, 3 thumbs up.

emsbuff3240

That flashcode does not support the MDC decoding.

You can try with the instructions I gave you but I doubt it will work.

emsbuff3240

first you need to know the firmware revision and flashcode. both can be determined by powering up the radio and when it completes self test, pressing the lower side button above the PTT switch. The firmware will appear as: Rxx.xx, I dont remember the firmware you need for this off the top of my head...

emsbuff3240

Will thanks a lot. I just read the RX M1225 on my repeater and it was set to local, so I changed it to distance, hopefully I will get better RX range, as its been especially poor lately.

emsbuff3240

cool... thanks, the ASTRO ham repeater I want to use should work then.

Was there any hacking to get them to go down there or did the radio just take it?

thanks.

emsbuff3240

If I buy an S split 2500... How low will it go into the ham band, I tried searching but I could not come up with anything.

Thanks in advance.

emsbuff3240

HLA, he probably means its a Low Band (ex 42-50mHz)
not low split UHF. You can tell by the slighty larger heat sink on the radio too that it is lowband.

emsbuff3240

The MT1000 and HT600 do not come in 450-512.

Choose from the below bandsplits:
UHF
403-433MHz
438-470MHz
470-500MHz
488-520MHz

emsbuff3240

dbfd588 wrote:So a 1250 cant? What all can be done with the full keypad?

no FPP on a HT1250.

HT1550 has FPP.

as thebigphish said, it can be used for DTMF encoding, dialing phone, MDC calls. but you cannot program frequencies from the front panel on a 1250.

Well if the duplexer you have is rated for 35 watts, and you are pumping 45 into it... that could be your problem.. Try backing the power down to 25 watts and see if that helps.
