I am just curious if this has been talked about more.

As it is, if I need to do anything on this board, I use the computer because it is soooo darn small on my BB it is a PITA.

N4k< I was told that this unit would work solo for what I wanted it for.

Hello all. I recently purchased this item http://www.ebay.ca/itm/110806781961?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_2295wt_1068 and want to try it out. However it was used, and came without a power harness, or an operation manual. I am wondering if anyone has a harness that would...

firefighter105

Okies, so the other unit you sent me will have to do, IF I can find out if they work on 12v.. I think they should..

Would this work MES or would this need more equipment to allow it to work?

This is just an amp. If you got an N female adapter you could mount this in your trunk.

Dont imagine that would be cheap LMAO

firefighter105

I was under the impression that anything for the XTS3000/5000 wouldn't work for the 2500/1500s.

Guess I have more to learn.

firefighter105

would the convert-a-com for those work tho?

firefighter105

Thanks MES, anything else you can think of? I am new to this amplifier setups and want to learn. I need it for my vehicle so if they aren't, they are any good for me

firefighter105

MES, do you know if they make them for 800mhz bandsplit?

What kind of amps would I be looking for?

firefighter105

Hey all, I was just wondering if these models have a Convertacomm model available. If so, what is the model Number and what would I be expecting to pay for one?

firefighter105

WB batlabs. yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

firefighter105

That is what I was afraid of.

Thanks

Hey All. I have a problem. I recently purchased a XTS2500 VHF radio from n7maq here on the board. It is a FPP model which has been the saving grace. I currently have CPS V14.00.00 and the radio was programmed by V15.00.00. My problem arises is that when I go into programming software, an error messa...

firefighter105

Hey. Batwings is right. I don't plan on going and bootlegging. I am just doing my best to learn from the vast knowledge on the board and try to piece it together in order to make the best of the information. It helps when I have a question to sometimes ask when things make no sense in the relationsh...

firefighter105

I know about the system keys etc. The reason I ask is the radio is pre-programmed with a system from the states and I am in canada. I am using a copy of the codeplug with the US system as an oppurtunity to learn more about trunking in general before I get our system and keys installed. Thanks

firefighter105

I have a question. On the local trunking system for 800, it requires Radio ID's. Where abouts do I find the Radio ID number setting in the CPS on an XTS2500 in 800 trunked.

I am not sure where to find it and that is the reason why I ask.

firefighter105

Well. After getting my new programming computer, I hooked it up and it read the radio fine.. must have been just the computer issue with it.

Cant.. I have the only two HT1250s i know of in this area..

firefighter105

I did as you said Al, and it is still coming up the same thing.

firefighter105

So i spent the money now and bought myself the RIB and cable.. yet it still won't read off the radio. I am still confused.

HELP

firefighter105

Yes it is, but worked without an issue on the other ht1250. just this one messed everything up..

firefighter105

Hello all, I just recently purchased a second HT1250 VHF portable to use. However, when I went to program it, it read fine the first time, but when i was done making the changes I needed, it won't accept the new programming. Says it all of a sudden can't find the codeplug to verify the radio can tak...

Hey folks. I did a search and didnt come up with anything. I have a motorola Remote Mount Spectra and Siren DEK setup. I am currently trying to figure out how the siren set up is put together. Does anyone have any diagrams or schematics out there that would allow me to sort this out. Thanks in advan...

firefighter105

Hey folks. I wanted to thank all the people on here who have the knowledge that I wish I had on radio information. I built a custom console and when i did, i realized i had to re-install the spectra due to where all the console was being installed. Now when i installed the radio the first time, I wa...

firefighter105

I used to get Spectras now and then that had something spilled on the front panel that actually appeared to eat away at the plastic, the display bezel would be clouded, buttons starting to deteriorate. I'm not positive, but I think it was McDonalds milkshake. I will never have another one of their ...

firefighter105

I have noted that in some older code 3 sirens, the amp board can almost sound like it's going thru puberty. This was especially true with older SVP sirens. I am used to the Code 3 wail, but what you report may be an amp board issue. Code 3 Tech Support could run the serial and tell when the unit wa...

firefighter105

Ahhh okies. See i wasn't sure of this. I know quite a fair amount i like to think about kenwoods, but motorolas are new for me. I am trying to take this all in. But i think i need to upgrade my spectra so i can use A9 heads and get used to the spectra programming. Thanks Will The A4, A5 & A7 hea...

firefighter105

Darn. I am unaware if you can do Groups of modes in the A9 model.And what is worse, i am not sure i can use the A9 In my console in the front of the vehicle.

Jason

firefighter105

So two A4 Heads would not work on the system instead of two A9 heads. The high power is capabel fo using t heads at once. I believe this is what you are refering to. Both heads have to be A9 heads and the second head is specifically made as a rear control head only. It is electronically different th...

firefighter105

Hello all. I currently am using a A4 remote mount head, 110 watt trunk mount system. I was reading that the 110 watt version can use two remote heads. In this respect, My A4 is out for repairs, can i use another head such as an A5/A7 for temporary use until I get my A4 repaired, in which the A5/A7 h...

DWMDT??// I am new here.. Slightly confused :-? Driving While MDTing. A typical explanation whenever you manage to run your squad head-on into a lightpole at 30mph, on a 6-lane divided highway, in dry weather, with not a soul around to be a contributing factor. DWMDT is like driving on the phone......

I hate Code 3 Led's. I have pair of the LED-X modules and I have had a previous pair. Of the four modules, Three have died. What has Code 3 done to make them so unreliable. Personally I love LED lights, at work all the ambulances in my province have them. But when I get the money to replace these LE...

Yeah... having to write a letter to the chief explaining how you broke his squad while DWMDT is never a good thing.

I think that probably should be an OHS issue at the very least. Not smart :|

Heya will I dropped it off to someone here who owns a small radio repair business. I didn't know this untill i asked around. I am goin to see what he says first. BTW, would you know where I could pick up another good quality A4 head and the cable. Reason why is that i have a High Power (110 watt) un...

firefighter105

I don't have a photo yet.. do you have email or msn??

firefighter105

Will, the pins do connect with the cable. The cable that plugs into the back of the head from the main radio unit has two pin spots for radio, and one of the one that is broke is the one that i need. It appears that it broke off inside the radio.head somehow. Damn things that i can't fix.

firefighter105

Hey all I have a bit of a problem. Over the last couple of uses, my spectra A4 has been having trouble with the speaker cutting in and out. So today, as I was installing my new console i made, I investigated. Turns out Pin 43 broke. This is one of the two speaker pins on the back of the remote head....

Hey there.. excellent job. you did an awesome job at that.
