Program ignition sense and you should be good! If you can get the brick side remote head adaptor you can program through that instead of having to screw with the rear accessory cable.

Winger2002

I suspect so, I have gone the other way and used an sb9600 board from an xtl with an astro Spectra. My only issue was I could not line up button commands with the Spectra, channel up and down worked though.

Winger2002

5 positions with 2 in dispatch and 3 in Eoc. I would say skip the MIP, I am pretty sure there are no granular options for cross muting its either on or off. So if you have the eoc activated they dont know what the dispatch center is saying and vice versa and will lead to lots of confusion.

Does anybody have any problems running a mix of equipment with ADP encryption? It should not matter that some radios have software and some hardware ADP as long as all the keys match right?

Winger2002

I believe you can go backwards with the CSDM program, but not forward, best to keep the 2 on the same software rev. Latest is 2.06 I think.

Winger2002

The USB connection with the APX in Win 7 sets up a kind of network, look into the network settings and make sure its labeled home and not public or work.

Winger2002

Phish whats holding him up? the lab stuff?

Winger2002

Yea ok, so OP you want astro saber win software on there, whats the low end of the spectrum your trying to maintain the ability to program? Stuff that won't work with a 486 or better?

Winger2002

Create a bootable usb stick with dos 6.22, problem solved you can use almost any computer with a serial port, works from an old win2000 laptop p3 to my win 7 dell (with serial port).

Winger2002

You wont be able to alias the consolettes through the ADM or MCC, you have to create the alias list in the radio itself. Ill take a look at my MCC at work and see how I have the paging set up. Edit: Looks like selected is the only option for mobile, just for future reference i believe the digital ib...

A few feet? How about stuck to the top of it. I love seeing that lol.

OP, I wouldnt worry about the lmr400, most of its issues were traced to long term outdoor use.

Winger2002

With the strap tho your compromising the positioning, the signal is more susceptible to to absorbed by the body and your also covering the antenna with a metalized fabric. Not saying it doesnt solve the heat issue and not trying to bash (I sometimes use a strap), I just think theres gotta be a solut...

Yea att Laura seems to sound the best, jts use windows sound recorder to open file and save as pcm 8000, 16 bit. Then use APX CPS to convert, Converter is in the tools menu. Then you go to radio ergonomics config in navigation window, open channel announcement list and add sound file to list, you wo...

Winger2002

Just wondering what everyone is using to produce channel announcement voices. The ones you can record online then convert don't sound as good as the stock motorola ones.

Are u running it through a diu or a consolette(ACIM port or SB9600)? I can try to replicate the issue with a consolette in the next few weeks.

Seconded, XTS is a much beefier radio than a HT, better audio, better scan performance

Winger2002

Quantar is being canceled the end of this year, so in typical moto fashion gtr will most likely gain analog and mixed mode support sometime after that. It should work with astrotac's and diu's as long as ur using 4 wire or v.24. Astro modems are not supported.

Winger2002

Did you try installing cps using compatibility mode? its different than just running it in compatibility.

Winger2002

Load it into the XTL not the mip, the mip will not alias the sb9600 id's. Characters are limited to however many spaces the w9 display is.

Winger2002

Correction w9 head!Just double checked, yes I can get into call list, so far I think the only thing sb9600 screws you out of is scan list program on the xtl5k, no way to long press scan button.

Winger2002

So far I have found all ID display issues fixed in 3.0, so yes if the w7 head is capable of displaying it then yes it should report it to the console. For the call alert if you can use a w7 head to send an alert out then you should be able to do it from the console. You need to do this by assigning ...

Winger2002

I believe the MLC does astro and mixed mode conventional as well.

Winger2002

Strange I've had no issues with an MCS model III at version 1,2, or 3 with the display issue, I believe I lost logging IDs at version 2 though.

Winger2002

Not an issue at all, since your using 32 bit machines its easy, just use xp mode for any software that gives you issues, but dont just run it in compatibility mode, make sure you install it using that also. I have been very successful using a dell d630. You will be amazed how fast the USB moto drive...

Trbo gateway works, no using the keyboard to send texts though, sigh. Seems a little more stable.

Winger2002

Check PM's

Winger2002

Strange, should be either available or grayed out. Do you have the read/write voice files checkbox selected under File menu, view, options?

Winger2002

I've been up and down the codeplug, is it possible for an consolette to send out an MDC acknowledge to a subscriber in emergency? What about acknowledge in astro?

Winger2002

Are you up against a wall or are you in the middle of the room? Staples (I think) has single monitor wall mount brackets with pretty long arms for pretty cheap, might be able to do a cheap 4 monitor desk mount then wall mount the remaining monitors. Personally I like watsons stuff if you can afford ...

Winger2002

Anyone play with it yet? interested how the mototrbo gateway acts, or any issues, hopefully the MDC id's through digital gateways are being logged correctly.

Winger2002

Are you looking for maintenance mode? what are you trying to do?

Winger2002

Is it the usb "Buddy Mic" with the chicklet sized PTT or the MCC style with the enhanced usb jackbox?

The buddy mics were a huge issue with mips, there might be a fsb on them, not sure its been a while.

Winger2002

Go into CPS and make sure u have man down enabled and set all timing to 0 or 1 (the lowest you can set). For some reason the new RSM's use the man down function for emergency.

Have you guys tried the touch to talk app on android, works as fast as nextel, much faster than the crap verizon push to talk.

Thanks for your opinion guys. Those are the answered I thought I would get. Our dispatch center does NOT monitor the fire ground channels. It’s kind of stupid because the “evacuation” tones go out over a channel that nobody in the structure is monitoring. I did set up our radios to set out an MDC g...
