Power Supply

I don't recall the exact model number off the top of my head and it's out in the Jimmy...but if I remember correctly, its CSP690 maybe....6 outlet 90 watt model I know...I didn't see why it would make any difference, but I read that somewhere recently.....

Strobes Installed

Well, I received my strobe kit on Friday, and installed all theheads this evening. The rear ones are ready to plug in as soon as I find a location for the power supply. I still have yet to run the cabling back for the front ones, but that shouldn't be hard. Thanks to everyone for the ideas, the ...

One more question

I'll have to look again, but I think your rear lens assembly is a bit larger than the Jimmy model. Is that last picture the front headlight assembly? I don't recognize that picture at all. Thanks for the pictures though, it gives me some idea of what to try!

Problem...

When I pulled out the tail light / reverse assembly last night, I discovered the S/T/T is actually 2 lamps....with a nice V-shaped gap between. That's where I"m having trouble locating a good mountin location. There are 2 half circle reflectors stacked on top of each other, and an oval one for the ...

Installing Hideaway Strobes

I just won an auction of hideaway strobes on ebay. I pulled my tail light assembly out on my 2000 GMC Jimmy to investigate the best mounting situation. Anyone have any ideas on the best mounting scheme. There doesn't appear to be a great location to mount the strobe assembly. I haven't even tried ...

Serial Comm Errors

I was getting Serial Comm errors when the battery was not supplying enough power to the RIB. I am using a non-motoroa RIB, and it seems when the battery gets too low, it won't program anymore. Serial Comm errors do not appear to necessarily be related to the serial line to the RIB, but may be the ...

VRS with my spectra

First of all, Mike, I love your website...has been a lot of help. But, I am wondering one thing. I noticed you state that the Pac-RT should be in a different band than the mobile. Is this a recommendation, or 100% necessary. I was looking into setting up a UHF-UHF system. I have a 110 watt UHF ...

VRS

Is it really necessary that the Pac-RT and Spectra be on different bands? I just read that on the web site. I was planning on using a UHF Pac-RT with a UHF Spectra.

Spectra VRS

I haven't really seen them listed as whether they are SP01 or SP02...is there any way to tell them apart other than that?

Spectra VRS

Was wondering if anyone knows where to find a VRS unit for a spectra. I've seen the pac-rt units on ebay, but they all specify syntors. I did a little web searching, but I've found very little info. Anyone who can help me out, I'd be glad to hear from you. Thanks

Second Battery

The instruction manual for the Power inverter suggests installing an auxilliary battery to prevent running down the vehicle's starting battery. I'm just going by the recommendation of the Power Inverter manufacturer.

Remote Mount in a 2000 GMC Jimmy

Greetings:

I was looking for a location to mount a high power spectra in my 2000 Jimmy. I ended up building myself an organizer box for the back. I build a 3' square box, and along the edge at the rear of the vehicle, I mounted the spectra in one corner and a 1200 w power inverter in the other ...

High Power Motorola Spectra Installation

My question is this:

I recently acquired a UHF 110 Watt Motorola Spectra with A9 head. I'm wondering what the fusing should be on the power lines. I noticed that there are 3 lines that run to +12v. Anyone know what the fusing should be on each of these. The Spectra I have does not have any fuses ...
