Th eonly other option I can think of is to have a duel band radio (expensive) with a single pyramid... Ohio State patrol used a setup like this for years.

dfc2

OK, my $0.02. Try using 2 Pyramid repeaters, on different freq's. figure out the separation in distance or freq to allow both to work low power.... then have your portable set up scan the 2nd channel, without allowing it to talk back to the repeater. so it monitors ch 1, and scans ch 2.... but talk ...

dfc2

Jim, that is out of my ability.
I wanted to keep it simple.. I want to leave the Dispatch stuff alone. and add the remote in the back offices.
we have spare radios... MCS2000, and kenwood 760's

dfc2

Is it possible to use a tone remote with an XTVA?

the Portable Radio/XTVA as the transmit radio for the tone remote?

dfc2

Can someone talk me through what is needed to set up a tone remote? Small town, basement department, no reception in the basement except the dispatch radio (antenna on the roof) my thought was to install a 2nd radio in the back office, with 1, 2, or 3 phone style remotes, to put a radio in roll call...

dfc2

My goal is NOT to scan. My goal is to simply switch over to the interop channel when needed. WITHOUT having to talk 20 officers through switching zones and changing channel number.

dfc2

Can a P25 system (xtl5000/xts5000) have a zone programmed with talkgroups in all channels (for the same system) but also have a single channel programmed as a repeater channel? the goal would be to have an interop channel programmed into the same talkgroup, so that we use our radios as normal, but i...

Has anyone done any work with the XTL5000 (or even the xtl2500), to make a portable /emergency repeater? I was just involved in an incident (minor thought it was) with multi agencies, and the primary agency had to resort to handing out portables, even though most of the involved agencies had the 7/8...

I have an XTL5000 (looks like the astro spectra)Dash mount. I NEED a remote/under cover mount. Is there a kit to change over the dash mount (mounted in the trunk) to use the hand held control in the front of the car? My budge does not allow for the purchase of a new radio. I either make do with what...

Years ago, I remember a site that had old radios pictured. mostly moto I think. I am helping a guy research radio equip for a police car restoration project.

can anyone remember the site and direct me to it?

thanks.

dfc2

Thanks for the suggestion, but it does not answer my question. I have done some reading in the last few day. It seems it can be done. The question is, at this point, all a matter of cost. Who can Do it, and what does it cost per unit. Yes, I know there are other options, that's why I'm asking for co...

Can someone help me here. I need a little info about upgrading an XTS3000 from P16 to P25. my (Small) agency has an opportunity to get some XTS3000's (800 MHz), but they are flashed for P16, we need P25 for our county wide system. I have never dealt with the newer radios, so cn someone tell me what ...

dfc2

Can anyone tell me what RSS covers the PR1500 VHF?

I have not messed with anything since the Spectra's, so I have not kept up on the newer stuff.

Some time ago I saw a list of Radio Model numbers to show which radios were type 2 radios.

Im looking at an XTS3000 1 model ( no display, or keypad) my question is, can I have it programmed up the same as my XTS1500 1.5 model.

OK..... I guess I'm missing something. Is it vhf. ? 800. Is it a regular astro missing the accessories?

Yes.. they did... I used one as an MP in germany in the mid-Late 80's, most of our stuff was HT500 low band, but the Airforce SP's had MX-300's in the mid vhf split we used for interop at times...

You are right about the SP... it could be almost anything. I personally have seen single tone boards for access to repeaters, some high tech scann functions, even duel receieve with SP products..

As I stated in the prior post. There is NO money to pay for it. I am trying to figure out "Some Chance"... which is better than "NO" chance. Maxtracs are $100.00, Spectra's are $200.00, a VRS is $1500.00 or better... I , meaning personally my own pocket can't afford to pay that.....

carrying a second portable is not an option. Im not going to have officers carrying two radios. the problem is only in one area.. but they are there often enough that I need to solve the problem. I have asked for funds to go the VRS route.. but the authority to approve purchases and the common sence...

dfc2

I thought of that. We only have 2 cars. very seldom are both on scene. the cost of a VRS is far more than picking up 2 spectras or maxtracs.
