I have two of these HLN9383 chips. They are both new in the package. Message me if interested.

I just wish the CH100 buttons were customizable. This would allow the radio much more flexibility. I went so far as speaking with an engineer who said they have had that request many times. Forget trying to utilize the siren/light function. Way to many menus to scroll through.

I have some old Centracom desktop computers if you need one.

I still have a few of the old X9000/Spectra Aux radios. The biggest issues with the setup is the time bomb capacitors is the Spectra. The X9000 radios are programmed with X9000 RSS SP06 while the Spectra uses normal Spectra RSS.

Hit "program" after each value change. If you just hit "program" after changing more than one value, only the last value will be saved.

You are correct hex editing is the best way that o could resolve the ask.

twowaytekk

Anyone have a source for the programming software/cable pinout to program these repeaters? DTC appears to be out of business.

twowaytekk

This has been resolved by using hex editing a SREC from an identical model number radio. Read the ASK radio's tuning values and recorded them. Read non-ASK radio SREC and edited both serial numbers in hex editing. Dumped modified SREC back into ASK radio, returned radio and programmed with no issues.

twowaytekk

Not eBay. I have several from a large agency that are upgrading to digital. I've looked at the hex edit trick, but as another has posted the bit listed for the ASK in the codeplug does not change between ASK radios and non ASK radios. I've read where there was some success in dragging and dropping a...

I am looking for a MCS2000 800Mhz codeplug. Model # M01UGM6PW6AN

I have already looked at codeplugsupersite with no luck. I have several MCS2000 that have ASK loaded, and I need to get it removed.

Thanks,

I tried buying CPS this morning for a fleet of 70 XTS5000. I noticed I was not able to buy anything on MOL. I called Motorola and after some bouncing around I was told they are closing MOL sales accounts and moving them over to "Partner Support." I now have to fill out another application ...

Have you swapped the command board? I have seen modified command boards that had traces modified for special applications.

Your old control head is for a Syntor X9000. The 1033 heads are not compatible with system 9000 (Spectra). If you search on the board you will see plenty of discussion about this. Given the cheap price of control heads, you are far better off picking another one up versus trying to change the firmwa...

Turn the switch at the base of the channel selector switch. There should be a "O" and a "O" with a line through it. Move the switch to the "O" and you should be ok. It's looking for en encryption key, which is not present.

You should be fine with your friends machine. Make sure you are running true DOS, not the windows DOS box. "Vintage" machines prices are climbing, If you plan playing with these older radios, I'd grab a computer up when you find one that's clean and in operating condition.

twowaytekk

Yes, I have programmed many A9 High power radios. The control head flashing between programming and the channel name throughout the process is not normal. If you are inclined try using Rufus to create a DOS USB drive and then boot from try be USB. Granted you won't be able to program using it, you m...

twowaytekk

I have programmed many Spectra radios. I can tell you that I have not had much luck with using anything other than true DOS while programming them. I have had luck using Rufus to make a bootable DOS USB drive, but the software will only read a Spectra under this platform. BTW other RSS will run just...

Bill, I have to agree with you. I know of a new business in the area that I suspect are using Trbo in the same band.

The transmission is random so far. I have a receiver set to record all transmission on the 462.7 freq. I'm only capturing the interference every three days or so. I may set unitrunker up to try to decode this, but I was wanting something that I could play the audio file into, if it exists.

twowaytekk

I'm getting a random interference on a GMRS repeater output. It is not passing through the repeater. There is a UHF Motorola Smartnet system in the area, with a radio site about 1.5 miles away. The GMRS repeater output is 462.7, and the Smartnet data channel is normally on 460.6. I've uploaded the w...

I've been reading about people using DOS Box. I've been using Rufus with great results. Simply use a thumb drive and format it then run Rufus and select the thumb drive to be a DOS boot drive. I use the DOS install. I then set the computer to boot from USB then hard drive. I've had great results wit...

I have multiple radios doing this. All came from the same source, but most have been problem free. Most are 146-174. 154.600 has been a proble., along with freqs in 159 range. Power is.being measured with a Bird watt meter. I will try a known good codeplug and see if that cures it. I have done an rf...

I have some Maxtrac, Radius M120, and GM300 radios that are transmitting higher power than they should. Some of the 45 Watt radios are well over 100 watts. I'm aware how the PA works, and the PA mod. However this issue occurs on some channels and not others. All the programmed Channels are within th...

I'm looking for a source of D sub 25 female connectors mounted to a protype circuit board that fit into the D sub housing. I know I have seen these before, however I can't seem to locate any now.

Thanks,

They are in fact NLA. I'm sure it has nothing to do with narrowbanding, as the MCS and some HT1000 will do narrowband. I'm sure it has more to do with marketing.

Is anyone aware if the Spectra RSS update, RL-4001N, actually contains the normal Spectra RSS?

The price is what I see too. Lead time is three days.

The Pyramid vehicular repeaters are nice. If you have an Astro Spectra you can buy a "smart cable" from them. These require no physical modifications to the radio.

These have been installed on a rural LE agency's vehicles here with great perfromance. Nice and clean, and work great for the price of under $60 each. Use is all data. No voice so I can't comment on that. FYI-There was a recall on some of them due to the improper install of the connectors from the f...

It sounds like the siren driver is working. When you activate the siren you should be able to hear faint siren tones from the amp, without any speaker hooked up to the speaker leads. Check the speaker leads for a disconnect. You might also try a new siren/PA cable. They are cheap on the used market....

twowaytekk

I'm assuming the control head was programmed for the siren/PA. You wil have a button on the control head programmed for "siren," "External Radio," and "Public Address." Press the external radio button and the siren button, to repeat the radio traffic to the external sir...

I can confirm this is a SP Spectra built for the Washington State Patrol. I have two of these, and one complete operating setup with the X9000. The Spectra can only RX.

fire22, I'm assuming you have a non-astro spectra. The VRS (P2017B) was designed to work with Astro Spectras and is crystal controlled via the R-Net radio inside. These are 300 mW and the freq range is 403-470MHz. If you have it, look inside to determine what type of R-net radio you have and it will...

t2k- If you are going to be storing the rechargable batteries in "grab" bags for months on end, it really doesn't matter if you have the battery attached to the radio or not. Depending on enviornmental factors, and the batteries themselves they will most likely be completely drained by the...

twowaytekk

Without even looking at the tech bulletins for each radio I would say I doubt it. The main reason for this is because the SVR has jumpers inside the radio and they are either in/out for each radio and then the SVR has to be tuned for the radio. The wideband SVR units are cheap enough on the other au...

You need an UV eraser and a programmer for the EPROM. There is a PC based programmer that is an aftermarket. I can't remeber who sells it but he's from Australia and he sells on Ebay. Good Luck!

It does appear Motorola has done away with the CPS software license. It is no longer a new license agreemenmt option for me in MOL, and the CPS software for the HT1250 series is now an option for me to "purchase."

Mark

Look here for the cable layout. Besides the cable you must have the Siren/PA amp connected to your Spectra or you won't get the DEK to even light up.

Mark

twowaytekk

I do have one of these setups and the Spectra control cable (for the RX) can easily be modified to be a X9000 programming cable.
