Yes....double the profit for half the product.

Oh wow! This is pretty awesome....thanks!

programming trunking radios...if you have to ask if it's okay...then you probabbly know the answer. You bring up a good point there with programming trunked radios. Already there's at least one mod here who takes an extremely dim view on private citizens owning or programming Motorola radios. Lab R...

So, next up is going to be only Motorola products in FSWT, right?

What you described above sounds like a Rube Goldberg-esque solution to a problem that doesn't really exist. Systems are already in place to track/identify stolen property, and to recover and return said stolen property to it's rightful owner(s). They're just radios. Missing radios aren't missing chi...

The switches are separate, but they CAN be mounted on top of another in like the same assembly.

Threeshot223

Should be a switch mounted on the brake pedal bracket. It night be combined with the brake light switch, but the wiring should be separate.

Oh yeah...those Caddy's run like raped dates. Look real sharp, too!

Honorary sheriff. Never got elected to office.

You'll also notice that it's the same clip played repeatedly. It's to cover confidential information (outstanding warrants, last names, etc.)

Computer monitors make wavy lines if I key up my XTS3K in the same room.

Try finding a 2.5-3.5 inch hard drive adapter. The MW-520 uses a standard laptop hard drive, and with the adapter you will be able to connect it to a standard PC. Copy over your Windows 98 install files and you should be fine.

Threeshot223

You'll need a lot more than just the data radios to create a full system. That's why all the Motorola MDT's and MW-520's sell so cheap- they need may thousands of dollars worth of base stations and "server" equipment to communicate. Reference: http://batboard.batlabs.com/viewtopic.php?t=24...

Threeshot223

Basically, no. They're "dumb" terminals- dependant on a host computer for everything not hard-coded into the computer's memory. I have been interested in a project like this for years and the only devices I found that would work without $10,000+ of infrastructure were (surprise) not Motoro...

Threeshot223

Well, in that case......let somebody else have it. I need something that works.

Yeah, there's not much to be found out there. There was a site that was up for a while that was a clearinghouse of all thing Motorola Data. One of the members here ran it- 2wayguru, if I remember right. The site is long gone now, though. You're lucky you got the Motorola machines. The Data911 workst...

Threeshot223

You've gotta have the right software. mw520.motorola.com seems to be gone- thats where I got all my drivers from. Do a search for mw520 and you should find some posts with useful info.

I'll see if I cant dig up one of my mw520's and copy you the drivers.

-Justin

Threeshot223

If Motorola had their way you'd need a different copy for each individual radio.

Threeshot223

I haven't heard much about these. Google has pretty much nothing on them. I'm looking at getting a few pretty cheap, but not if they're useless. Does anybody have any information on these "vintage" terminals?

Threeshot223

How much memory can I put in a 5201B MW520? Is the memory ordinary laptop memory or is it $uper extra expen$ive Motorola memory?

Threeshot223

Long story short, my XP install got corrupted somehow and I used some restore discs I made to reconstruct the HD. Well, everything copied OK, but XP still didn't work. Great time to find out your backups suck, huh? Anyway, all my stuff is on these 6 CD's. I made them using Nero 6, and they're saved ...

Threeshot223

What I've done is bought a little 2.5-3.5" adapter (like 3 bucks) and used my desktop to copy Win98 to it.

Removing the HD is a snap. Unscrew the screws on the top cover, lift it up, and the HD is mounted on the cover. Disconnect the little connector and then unscrew the HD from it's mount.

Looks like you found a judge who did not know the law, or was perhaps upset that the deputy involved dared to usurp his/her power as a traffic judge and enforce the law in his own way.

You can download it legally from a bunch of websites. Google should help ya.
Since it is no longer sold ANYWHERE, DOS is pretty much freeware (although not open-source).

Is that a GE sticker on top of one of those spectra's??? Frank Sure looks like it... Kind of ironic isn't it? A GE spectra? Next thing you know someone is going to come up with a photo of a Motorola Orion... (Of course, there have been 4 different companies' logos on the Orion already; I guess a fi...

Threeshot223

The Mw520 is stand-alone, right? I know that the M(K)DT's are "dumb" terminals but I always understood that the MW series was more like a PC with a RF modem rather than some sort of a node.

Threeshot223

Wouldn't the OTAR command be encrypted anyways?

Threeshot223

Unless you like like the Unabomber did, you should be able to find a GE & MA/COM shop in the phone book under "Radio". The MPA was a good, popular GE radio, and most GE shops will be able to program them for you.

Threeshot223

How could they trace you anyways? It's wireless!

I have a Unitrol 800 siren/controller, model# 800 y 3557. I'm just looking for general information about it. Unitrol and Federal Signal aren't much help, so right now, I dont have a single slip of paper to tell me anything about this box. Anything helps!

The U.S. Military is a big user of 403-423 MHz. Usually they use GE EDACS systems, but there is some /\/\ trunking on 400 too.

Threeshot223

Marauder...Mrotter.....eew. It's kinda funny....it took Ford 6 years to field an equivalent to the Chevy Impala SS and...it sucks! Nobody wants them...lol.

So, maybe it is a good idea to get one. Last I heard, Ford's dropping them down into the $20,000 range!

To sum up CA laws, you're better off not installing anything at all. BUT....Code3 says that his car is being built as a demo vehicle. YES...technically, the lighting may be illegal.

Threeshot223

Um...what do you mean? For two separate systems to intercommunicate? That, you'd use patches and such.

For a /\/\ radio to work on an E/GE system? Unless you have one of the rumored radios which is said to do both (note: rumored), you're stuck with two radios.

Threeshot223

Thank you. The batt. packs are NiCD. I'm wondering though...what is a recommended charge voltage? I have to charge these batteries tonight...no time to procure the /\/\ charger.

I have two radio batteries that I dont have a crarger for, but I do have a variable-volt, variable-amp power supply that I can use to charge these. They're 7.5v, 2/3AA cells, and 600mAh total. What's the recommended slow charge voltage/amperage to use? I'm kinda in a hurry to get this done, so any h...

Batman:
if you're looking for GE manuals and info then you want to go to http://www.radtek.ws. Then click on GE/Ericcson, then go to manuals. There's all kinds of manuals and the release notes in .pdf format.

Hope this helps!

Threeshot223

OT again......but, you'd be surprised at how visible the steady red light is. It's called a "take down" light, and is basically a for-sure signal that the officer behind you is pulling YOU over. Quite visible, and most LEV's have two of them.

Threeshot223

Well, from looking at Code3's install layout, he better be a cop, otherwise everything other than the radios is illegal. Everything- amber, clear, purple, green....all illegal. Tow trucks and private security cars can have amber, and there are permits for private ambulance (which follows the same ru...

Eh, makes sense now. Since the older MDT's are pretty much useless without $100K+ of infrastructure, that's why they're so cheap and plentiful to find- nobody can use them. Sucks, I guess.

Ok, so to make these work, you do need the "server" unit. Are these as widely available as the MDT's are? Or are they (with my luck) kind of the same way as /\/\ RSS....not to be found anywhere's except new from Motorola? And, supposing that I do find all of this stuff, how are the MDT's s...

Yep...some people never do grow up. It is truly amazing what people can stoop to. Sorry to tell ya, but more than likely your AS3 is in some bushes or a stormdrain by now. Seems most people steal/break/vandalize something simply because it isn't theirs, therefore they don't care.
