Full disclosure here, we have it on our APXs now. It gets extremely annoying when changing talkgroups over the years. Just my 2 cents. lol

SYNTORX71MAN

I had some MINT Saber R's about 10 years ago and sold them. I searched LONG and HARD and could not find diddly in batteries Shame really. Good luck you have a better chance winning powerball.

SYNTORX71MAN

Thanks I will check the ignition sense first to eliminate the vehicle then go from there.

SYNTORX71MAN

Tried to reread the codeplug but get the can't find radio message, I also tried reading from the remote mounted case port and same deal. Do APX's usually display fail codes like XTLS's? That is what troubles me the O5 head powering up and the display saying APX7500 (no other info) and powering right...

SYNTORX71MAN

I was programming a standard agency wide codeplug for multiple radios keeping the clone screen open after each radio. I made sure my systems keys were uploaded and I changed all the P25 trunked system radio ID info for each and that particular radio. I believe our standard agency wide codeplug is pr...

SYNTORX71MAN

Hey gang, I just wrote a codeplug using CPS16.00.00 into a APX7500 remote mount 05 head. Firmware and DSP are 12.00.00 in the radio. Clone radio said write successful but now the radio powers up and display says APX7500 then immediate powers back down. Tried to program and or read codeplug again but...

SYNTORX71MAN

I too have seen this on a great deal of XTL's on ebay, perhaps a member will come forward with knowledge of this strange flashcode marking.

SYNTORX71MAN

If ESCOMM is out try Ebay, I see them there occasionally.

SYNTORX71MAN

Make sure you use the small metal hook and attach it to a screw head or something to help the mic plug from pulling out of the port.

SYNTORX71MAN

Wow, glad I saw this thread too, I'll just wait for 17.01...LOL

SYNTORX71MAN

Another example of the sins of waste by our government..

SYNTORX71MAN

Will this work on the XT5000 as well?

SYNTORX71MAN

Not referring to MODAT are we?

SYNTORX71MAN

I have seen others use black electrical shrink tape to seal/cover the cracks..Its most likely the compound "M" uses to make the antennas...Of course nothing lasts very long nowadays...Its a disposible world...LOL

SYNTORX71MAN

Thanks Ko, but I was looking for regular Astro (Astro Saber/XTS 3000) Firmware release list.
I thought Doug's was it, but when I click on the link I get a file not found error.

SYNTORX71MAN

Batdude's Astro Firmware and System Release history PDF file link is bad or it is gone.
Anybody have a clue what happened?

SYNTORX71MAN

For a picture of the wiring hookup check out the regular Batlabs.com site, select model info, select spectra series and there you will the find complete wiring/installation diagrams for A-3, A-4, A5/7 and A9 series head spectras

SYNTORX71MAN

Ah ha, I knew the Astro Zen masters would enlighten me. Mystery Solved.

Thank You One and All!!!

No Dice Tom, I added new personalities and zones, all still have the same issue

SYNTORX71MAN

Hi Gang, I need some input here, bought an auction house Astro Saber 3, yea I should know better...LOL Specs are: H04SDH9PW7AN 599108-5F4600-1 Flash 07.24.00.00 Firmware I08.03.02 DSP 1 Meg Using R05.00.02 Astro Saber CPS, I am trying to input conventional frequencies in the Transmit and Receive fie...

SYNTORX71MAN

Yes 05.03 is the latest and last CPS for the Astro Saber and the XTS3000, which for all intensive purposes is a astro saber in a new style case..LOL The XTS3000 is out of production now, as the XTS5000 took its place followed by the XTS2500 and now finally the APX series. The XTS3000 would be fine f...

SYNTORX71MAN

FYI, I also have a NTN8266B (91617E) listed as well for the XTS battery belt clip...That might help ya.

SYNTORX71MAN

I ran into the same problem from six different Ebay System Saber 3's. I had to go into my computer set up and diable the bios caching setting.
After that the RSS ran 100%. Make sure you are using a SLOW OLD computer 286, 386.

SYNTORX71MAN

Nice Job Peter!

Much appreciated for the virtual tour and info!!

SYNTORX71MAN

If you just tested them (RIB, Cable) prior on another radio, that should rule out the wrong com port selected...Sounds like an internal problem

SYNTORX71MAN

Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday Season to All!

SYNTORX71MAN

Agreed Lvguy, Hopefully somewhere Monty is still smiling down on us this christmas and forthcoming year...

Thanks Dave, I Appreciate the Info

SYNTORX71MAN

Dave, I am looking to add at least two separate smartzone omni link 9600 systems, One in the 450-460 UHF Range, and a second system in the 406-420 UHF Range. I am a authorized user for a state and federal system. I wanted to know if both systems could co-exsist (be programmed on the same radio XTS o...

SYNTORX71MAN

How many different P-25 Smartzone Omnilink 9600 systems will an XTS/XTL 5000 support?
Just wondering how many different systems and keys can be programmed on a single XTS 5000 or XTL 5000?

SYNTORX71MAN

Did you try the old trick of pulling the battery out and putting it back in the charger within 10 seconds to force a charge?

SYNTORX71MAN

What is the charger indicator light doing? flashing red fast? or just staying yellow?

SYNTORX71MAN

King Solomon himself could not have spoken wiser...

SYNTORX71MAN

You need to create/add new modes to the zone, 16 modes maximum per zone, Push F1 for help tips while under the mode view info screen.

Thats a big negative ghostrider, the pattern is full..LOL No the govie band spectras cannot be pushed that far outta thier bandwidth with RSS You are far better of buying a dedicated 450-470 range model. They are pretty much dirt cheap now anyways on ebay and everywhere. Actually conventional astro ...

SYNTORX71MAN

$175.00 max for the 3000 Model 1

SYNTORX71MAN

I believe it should have a funny looking hex head style recessed pressure valve type screw on the radio frame on the inside below the vent ports when you remove the battery.

SYNTORX71MAN

Ditto on the above...The X9000 was the low band wide spread KING , the only other item close were GE's 950's and later GE Orions..Since the death moan of low band public safety most are used as boat anchors now...Crying Shame...Built like a tank too...You really need a old 286 or 386 computer in DOS...

SYNTORX71MAN

In System Saber RSS is there a setting to increase/decrease the internal speaker volume in a System Saber?
The Minimum/Maximum level in the F2 service menu perhaps?
I was wondering if i am overlooking something...

Thx
P.

SYNTORX71MAN

Motorola probably figures, If you can afford the APX then you can afford a new computer to run the CPS.....Sad

SYNTORX71MAN

Ditto to the ebay comment. Both A-3's and W3's remote cables have been poping up on ebay CHEAP $20-30 bucks lately. Thats how I got mine, and No longer speaker cable is necessary. The cable hookup and speaker plug pretty much explains itself when you see it in person.

SYNTORX71MAN

Thanks!!

SYNTORX71MAN

can a high power spectra program cable be used to program a high power astro spectra? Or are they two different cables?
Thx
P

SYNTORX71MAN

Spectra not Astro Spectra right? Usually the HHCH spectra scan list is programmed via the RSS, and the Scan switch just turns the scan on or off. The Rss lets you scan up to 16 channels including a priority 1 and 2. If I remember correctly its under the F-6 tab in the RSS, slaved mode scan or someth...

SYNTORX71MAN

Not meaning to highjack t2k's thread but along the same lines as his initial question on ebay and aftermarket batteries. Any thoughts on the Alexander Blue Bottom batteries showing up recently on ebay?

SYNTORX71MAN

Astro Saber, Sabers by Far...Only drawback was sitting them upright on a table...A sneeze would tumble them over...LOL

SYNTORX71MAN

Very well spoken Robert, and I'll add this: With our Digital system when you are out in a fringe area and try to transmit, all we get is a continous beep tone and a out of range on the radio display, be it portable or mobile unit. When the system was analog at least the dispatchers heard a weak or s...
