Does anyone know if this will work on an Icom portable as well?

Radio99

Yes, eight. Technically nine if you enter eight channels in the scan list and put the radio on a channel not included in the scan list. It would then scan the eight in the scan list and the selected channel.

Radio99

And on the 99 channel version... Start off with the three position toggle switch in the center position. While holding down the light button (second button from the top on the side of the radio) put the three position switch into the scan position (the marking that looks like a "Z"). The r...

If you order the CD version of the detailed service manual (9985809F01), (list $23.63) they include a copy of the Astro Clean Cab CPS (R01.00) along with it. This programs specific features for the control head only. Order the Astro Spectra CPS (RVN4183) to program the radio features (frequencies, s...

I am by no means an expert but I will tell what I know about railroad radios. The MCX100 Railroad preceeded the railroad Spectra. It had 97 channels installed. There was no scan. To change or add frequencies beyond the original 97 you would need a prom and a prom blower. While this was a drawback, t...

What happened to the link that described everything anyone would like to know about the Astro series portables?

Have many of these in use on our squad cars, fire department vehicles and public works trucks. Take a severe beating and don't break off in the car wash.

Odd that the Depot would tell you this. The current flat rate sheet I have from the Depot (dated 08-01-06) indicates the anagog railroad Spectra is a Tier 10 repair with a flat rate of $401.00. Maybe they confused this with a regular analog spectra which is no longer supported. May be worth a teleph...

I had the exact same problem with a VHF "A" version 99 channel. The radio was exhibiting the same symptoms you describe. When reading my radio with the software it was showing a bandsplit of 146-174. The "A" version radios only went to 162 and when I changed the bandsplit back ev...

I noticed from the photo posted above on the new Astro unit the "TRNK" key replaces the "TONE" key on the older units. Is Singletone (TONE) no longer available/used?

Radio99

The JT1000 will not do MDC. It is not available in the radio.

Radio99

I have located a source for repairs on the above units. Very reasonable prices and fast turnaround time. Contact Gary Ott at Nav-Com Service 818 997-6732.

Sorry I was a little off

From the HT1000 section of this board: If you have RSS version R03.02.01 or newer, you can enable DTMF by going into the Radio Wide Screen (F4-F3-F2 from the Main Menu), then press ctrl-shift-F7.

You have a MCX100 Motorola railroad radio. Very hard to find the eprom programming equipment. See the following links:

Where is here? First there is frequency coordination with the service that you want to license in. Then there is the fee to the FCC for your license. Everything going along smoothly, you are looking at a six to nine month period to get a license.

That would be great if you could figure it out. Seems like it would be some type of changeable memory to accomodate the home channels. My radio works fine with the exception of the home channels which were set for the area in use and are of no use to me in my area.

Radio99

I too have one of the Areotron radios. My main interest is changing the HOME channels from their current pre-sets to the ones that would suit my needs. Is there a "quick fix" for this or am I stuck with what is in the radio?

Radio99

Motorola no longer stocks the power cable for the RR Spectra (VKN 4365B). Does anybody have a source for these cables (new or used) or a supplier of the power connector so I can fabricate my own? Thanks in advance.

The XTS 3000 will decode ID's from an ASTRO trunked system but will not decode analog ID's.

You might try a Command Star or a Command Star Lite. They will run you in the 10-15,000 dollar range. They are stand-alone units that connect to the respective base station.
