I found a thread here: http://batboard.batlabs.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=5348 Long story short, when I repaired the Caps on the command board a while back, I did a shitty soldering job. Just fixed my A7 head that was malfunctioning with the DEK, and noticed the speaker pops. So I check the caps an...

I've just been informed that this indeed does NOT work with mode-based scanning. Not 100% sure why, but it seems to only work with zone-based scanning. If anyone expierements further and finds out otherwise, please post about it and let me know. My PDF file says it should work with mode-based scanni...

Did you try my technique, but in PURE DOS? Enter the Service Menu and exit. PURE DOS though, as in MS-DOS 6.22 or similar.

Ok..that's what I thought is there a 12v source out of the VIP?.. You mean to grab switch +12VDC output? http://www.onfreq.com/syntorx/spectra/cables.html#s9kvipoins There are some switched B+. I used it for the relay for my horn ring switch. Probably can't connect a load much bigger. What are you ...

Thanks for all the help, guys. I'm going to order a power supply and RIB box this week and then I will be back with more questions for sure. Not sure what RIB you are getting, but if made to Moto specs, you will not need a power supply for the RIB. The High power spectra will power the RIB itself. ...

Two on both, but I only use one on the MW. I saw the 6200, but I believe I need the full sized boards to use them without trying to find a workable adapter. The ones I have seen are for Dell's, but I couldn't tell if there was a universal adpater. Not sure what you mean about the adapter. The 6200 ...

Looking to swap out my two cards in the MW and ML for some -N or -ac cards. Anyone have a recommendation on a nice make/model of these cards that seem to have pretty good performance? How many antennas does the laptop have? 2 or 3? I have the Intel Centrino 6200 (2 antenna connectors). Works great ...

Hello All! have a really crazy problem and hoping someone can help. I have searched through all the forums for the answer but it still eludes me. We have a bunch of Maratrac sirens. The Maratrac sirens with the correct DEK boxes. When wired to the maratrac radio, they work and sound as they should....

I've had this for a while but I figured I would post it. I have a double DIN, and have a Pioneer HU with the Motorola Spectra A7 control head (Its a 110W VHF unit, which is in the trunk). At the time, it was somewhat of a pain to find an A7 remote control head. On top of that, they weren't in good s...

Well, I took my Spectra to the local Motorola shop the other day, and found out a few things. The tech had not worked on very many of these models, but he tried to connect to the radio and program it. The RSS software (he might not have the most up to date version...) says that my model number is T...

I've discovered that my MT1000 does not have a scanning problem. The problem is that it is not decoding PL (TX PL works just fine). Is there any way to fine-tune the HT1000's RX PL filter frequency? Seems like it's off just a enough to cause the choppiness (barely breaks squelch). Sorry for the mis...

linkinpark9812

Okay -- verified this: By setting my RX frequencies to CSQ (no TPL), I can "park" on any of my modes (no audio distortion/chopping). I know the eight repeaters I have programmed (including my simplex test frequency) send PL. Either this radio isn't properly decoding PL or it's ignoring my...

Does anyone have a manual they can reference a few questions for me regarding some of the buttons for a Spectra with A9 head? Regards, -Frank C. I do not have a manual but own an A9 Spectra and have done some experimenting with it (aka check my signature :P ). What are some of the questions about t...

linkinpark9812

Since you have the autoscan set to specific channels since you do not have any buttons to control scanning, are you 100% sure that when on mode 10 that it is not set to scanning? That choppiness almost always means, like Tom said, that your scanning has stopped on a non priority channel, but you hav...

I have done this same thing, but with a spectra and just the air horn. When I ground the VIP assigned "HORN RING", I get an air horn. Are you saying when you ground it, absolutely NOTHING happens, or it doesn't switch from wail to yelp? Does anything actually happen when you ground the hor...

Thanks guys. I have done a lot of Moto repair and programming over the years, but got out of it and sold all my stuff a few years ago.

Good Afternoon everyone, I have somewhat of a minor issue with my Motorola HT1000 VHF Unit. I am trying to enable DTMF ANI, so on keyup of PTT it sends a DTMF Unit ID over the air.

I appreciate all the replies. I have looked hard around here. I live in a rural area and mot of the folks around here have newer machines rather than the old boatanchors.

I think it is R06.00.05 with a part # of RVN4001N.

This is just for the Spectra, not the ASTRO Spectra.

With that, I want to say no as to having BOTH. Ya, the MAN mode on the DEK is confusing. You think it would be you hold it and get a "start up wail" and when you let go, either the wail stops, or falls back down. The MAN mode seems like, like you said, a standby mode for the siren while th...

Do you just want the airhorn and NO siren? Police will not take kind in you using a siren if you have no need for it. Not jumping to conclusions, but if you have a reason for using the siren, just post up what you need the siren to do and i'll (or someone else) can give you more info. If you only w...

The manual button is used for hooking up a relay to the VIP ports on the control head and interfacing it with the "horn" on the vehicle. This produces either wail or airhorn when on manual or changes siren tones when using wail/yelp/hi lo. Jason Can you give me any documentation on how to...

X9000's, no - the serial number does not reside anywhere in the radio's memory. Anything Spectra or later (Astro Spectra, XTL), you can put into service mode and read the serial number off the screen. I don't know if the analog Spectra will show model number in service mode, but the Astro Spectra a...

Looks like you got your original problem figured out so I figured you may want to scan more than 16 channels.

Check My Signature for scanning more than 16 modes.

It is supposed to be exactly the same as a RLN4008B. The CA3140E IC is the critical part. Seeing that, I would almost be inclined to believe that it functions identically to a RLN4008.

Seriously? You'd be better off breadboarding a RIB from the Batlabs schematic and using that than messing with a KawaCRAP RIB (or RIBless cable, for that matter.)

I've used Chinese RIBs- some work, some don't. If you have a $100 radio and don't care about hosing it, then an inexpensive RIB may be cost effective.

IIRC, on my HT1000 RSS, you can ONLY choose ONE signaling type. So since you want to use GE-Star on the neighboring agency, thats fine, but if your agency uses MDC, I don't think you can mix the two (as far as HT100 goes) However, I do know that the MT2000 does allow multiple signaling personalities...

I agree with Wavetar. I am betting they did it so you cant jump their radio dispatched fares. x1000 agree.

Have you talked to the dispatcher about WHY he did that? x2 Btw, this is why I like ICOM. They incorporate so many features in the advanced radio that it can be used by dispatch with "dispatch" features. I know in some radios (like the spectra) you can bang a bit to unlock the radio from ...
