http://money.cnn.com/2012/05/29/technology/sprint-nextel-shutdown/index.htm Sprint Nextel (S, Fortune 500) said Tuesday that it plans to shut down the Nextel network as early as June 30, 2013. Sprint has long talked about its intention to wind down Nextel, but this is the first time it has offered u...

You can use the unofficial Waris labtool to blow in an HT1250 codeplug, but if you do I believe the radio will need to be retuned.

bezking

You are going to want to upgrade to the latest version of the Pro Series CPS.

Do you have an AN or BN radio? The Part number for the housing kit is different for each. The housing itself (the piece of plastic - no electronics, you would have to transfer the ones in the current housing to the new one, and I also don't think this comes with the "Motorola XTS3000" stic...

Don't type the "(for astro portable)" or "(for astro mobile)" :)

No, the model numbers need to be identical.

IDK but the battery on that scorched radio actually looks salvageable...

I have an old Dell laptop bag that's more like a briefcase. The programming laptop goes in the main pouch (obviously), the programming cables in a secondary large pocket, the USB-Serial converter, RIB, and laptop AC adapter in another, and burned CDs with software in another (just in case).

I think he meant he plugged his computer into the cable modem? Fuel, did you try running the NRP as an Administrator?

bezking

What keyloader are you using?

bezking

I have the motorola-branded one. The required extended battery doesn't have a belt clip and is overall bulky. Audio performance is subpar and it tends to drop the wireless link randomly, requiring a power-cycle of both the radio and the RSM...

I couldn't resist :lol: For those interested, an all-F flashcode yields this obviously invalid mess (about half of the rows were "no valid option for this bit", I removed them): Q806: ASTRO IMBE Digital Operation H14: Enhanced Digital ID Display Q52: Federal Government FPP H869: Hardware M...

FFFFFF-FFFFFF-F :)

Shot in the dark here but maybe you need Multikey in the flash to have multiple keys (even though the ADP is software-based)?

bezking

Try right-clicking the shortcut and selecting "run as administrator." Then read the CP and see if it lets you save it.

Kind of OT, but you can see when Sprint plans to decommission iDEN towers at your location here:
https://nextelnetwork.sprint.com/

It only says they will be working on "some" of the towers, not necessarily all of them.

What is this new "Sprint Direct Connect" based on? IP?

bezking

I have two battery chargers here that appear to be genuine Moto NTN1174A's. One of them has two battery contacts, but the other has three.

What does that extra third contact do?

bezking

Well I've never sat down and worked out the numbers, but I was told a few times by different people to stay away from the VHF stubby antennas. I believe it was something about how they are designed internally in relation to VHF radiation characteristics.

bezking

The one on the right could conceivably be a VHF stubby antenna (VHF stubs have particularly bad issues, I would avoid them), but there's no way the one on the left is a valid VHF antenna - it looks like a UHF whip.

bezking

Open the scanlist in CPS and change the "Non-Priority Members" dropdown to "Operator Select."

HTH

It sure is. I never understood why they put the antenna in the middle like that...

Hi all, I've got an older PC running XP that I want to boot into DOS to run older RSS programs. The PC has only CD and USB, no floppy disk. I know some folks on here are doing the same thing - what are you using to boot the computer into DOS mode? I can't find a CD that works that can speak NTFS to ...

bezking

*Maybe* that's an OK figure for the XTS5000 considering they could conceivably cost that much new, but you're way off on the rest. Basically, you can shave off a zero for the XTS and especially the MTS. Remember - you can't get the XTS3000 or MTS2000 new from Motorola any more, which makes the used ...

bezking

It depends on the Flashcode options and Model (I, II, or III).

bezking

Yes it can. The bandsplit of the VHF XTS2500 is 136-174mHz, which includes the 2m ham band.

bezking

All of the trunking flash options include H35 by default. It will work just fine.

bezking

No. The radio's ID is programmed using CPS and remains constant.

bezking

Happy new year to everyone on the board!

See if anything in this thread helps? http://batboard.batlabs.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=96867

Motorola did sell kits to upgrade the CX to a DX. I believe it was some kind of hardware modification.

bezking

I assume you are referring to actual CPG files, if that's the case, then the answer is yes, requests are allowed. In fact there exists a specific subforum dedicated to codeplug issues: http://batboard.batlabs.com/viewforum.php?f=41

bezking

If you have the latest CPS, just try reading the radio - the newer versions of CPS contain a tool to restore the EEPROM CS ERR.

bezking

Thought this might be of interest. Notice how they call the APX7500's control head "old school"

Bearcat? Do you mean BearCom?

I use AT&T Natural Voices (http://www2.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php). It sounds great on my XTS5000.

I would say it's either a WiFi access point or, more likely, some kind of motion sensor/security thing.

I would say that except for the SD card the Kindle meets all of your requirements.

Do you really need 32gb?

Will R07 do anything at all to a radio with FW higher than 7? Firmware version and codeplug version are two different things. -Marc So if I have a radio with let's say R06 firmware and FlashZap it to R16 with no flashkey, the codeplug version won't be upgraded, so it will still be 6, and R07 depot ...

I've seen this issue with NetMotion. Check the connection speed for the aircard. Something tells me that the aircard thinks its a faster connection locally than the Wi-Fi.

The 64 bit definitely won't work. Supposedly if you are using the latest (R06.12.02), Pro Series will work on the 32-bit, but I wouldn't count on it.

Personally I just keep a laptop (with a real serial port) around with XP for programming radios...

Absolutely. Your droid should support "L2TP over IPSec with PSK" VPN - the IPSec (IP Security) portion of this provides strong encryption that will be suitable for your application. The PSK means that a password will be used instead of a certificate system. I would take a look at whatever ...
