I use H155 for portable applications. It's light, low loss - compared to similarly thick cables, stranded central conductor.

Hi all, I want to use a MC2100 UHF radio as a transmitter for a digital voice ham radio MMDVM based repeater. It's not the first repeater I'm making but there's a thing. While on other Jedi radios like the GM900, or even the GM1200 that i've flashed the MC2100 from, pin 24 - AUX TX IN2 works great a...

apparently there is some info, but id did not show up in previous searches:

Hi all, I have seen for sale some radios that are called Motorola MT6000. Thing is i don't know much about them. From what I see they are pretty much a GP900 with a different label. Am I right? What software is used to program them - is there a separate software or are they recognized as a GP900 or ...

Hi there,

what cps does it take to program the HT1250? the upgradetool says i need ver. 05.07.09.

thanks

what we have tried was (motorolawise) the gp300. some worked great the first time, others could not be made to work... don't really know why...

well, your mcmicro is a trunking radio. it is normal for it to act so. if you are not registered on a trunking system your radio will never transmit and as far as I know the trunking mcmicro can not be programmed for conventional operation. there are ways to replace the controller and make the radio...

at what frequency should he do that? because as far as I can see there is no way to tell the frequency they might be tuned to other than some general cosiderations such as vhf/uhf or similar I think the best way to tell what freq the duplexer is on would be with with a network analyzer. there might ...

doi

yes, we are sure it's the PA. tha max vol setting is OK.

I have heard the PA die as it got 13V from the flash cable on the speaker lead. it made the "squeeeeeechhh". and that was it.

and now audio is distorted and low....

it's UHF - R split

doi

well, I know all that, but it doesn't help me a lot. so maybe if someone else has tried this and succeeded somehow, i would appreciate some info. in the mean time i'll ask around for someone with the proper technology.

doi

hi all, the PA in my newly flashed mt2100 from a gp1200 is broken. which is bad. not so bad is that I have a replacement for it. the worse part is that I don't know how to unsolder it from the board since it is the type with the pins underneath. any low-tech ideas? something involving at a maximum a...

doi

say this: i have two radios mt2100 and mc2100. i programmed them all ok, they work fine. i even programmed selective calling in them for the fun of it and because i love to have on the display the id of the other radio. everything works fine the radios decode the id's and beep on every decode of the...

doi

as far as I have tried, there are two types of gp300. test procedure is: remove the channel stop or lift the knob a bit. having two channels programmed inside a two channel radio if you rotate the knob and get channels 1,2,1,2,1,2... you have a radio that can be converted. if you get 1,2,2,2,2,2... ...

danke schoen

doi

as above, what's the difference?
do they use maybe different software?
can the ptx1200 be flashed into a mt2100?

thanks

doi

anyway the radio was not designed for operation at 12vdc so don't try it again. in my experience i can say you were quite fortunate the caps didn't blow when you put 12v on the radio directly. it is normal that the hissing cuts in/out when you press the squelch button. it is only a sign that the bat...

ps cant anyone tell me how to get the rss working in dos?, that would be an achievment for me on its own .... cheers.. what do you mean getting it working in dos? did you launch the program and it did not work? you don't know how to start your computer in dos? your problem is most likely covered he...

doi

i have eventually used the search feature of this board (grin) and found out that it programs with the cp1000/htx software if it is conventional.

now another question: how do i tell if it is conventional or trunk?
and if it is trunk what do i use to program it?

anything....

doi

I have never seen one or heard of until the other day. so does anyone know what it is? apparently it is trunk, but can it do conventional? what RSS does it use? this one comes from germany the HTX III was used apparently in norway or sweden. it programs with a program called nurse, but mine is plain...

doi

station house is right, there are two kinds of gp300 in europe: a normal one and a select5 one. look up your model number and you'll find out which type it is.

Moderated:::

otherwise, good luck!

doi

if it's the same band I have heard of installing one of the antennas UNDER the vehicle... never seen one though

doi

if you have the above please share with me.

by the way my e-mail is doi(at)offline(dot)ro

thanks

there might be only one little problem if you want to reprogram a prom: PROM stands for Programmable Read Only Memory. so it's not eraseable aka you can not REload it. hence you will most likely have to buy a new prom and program it for your terminal. and every time you want to change params you wil...

if anyone has the schematic of the mcmicro, I'd love to have it!!

thanks!!!

doi

What method did you use to buy them? well, I live in Romania so it was rather complicated to purchase the ic's. anyway I don't think this would apply to you - if you live in a more developed country it should be fairly straightforward, you should have a local sales rep. or something. if you contact...

doi

all i used was the schematic provided in the datasheet: http://www.cmlmicro.com/techregister/log.asp?fname=/products/datasheets/Docs/cmx469ad.pdf this circuit is only a very simple (only on the outside) TTL to FSK converter. so it has no brains by itself. YOU will have to provide all the 'thinking' ...

doi

if you're skilled in homebrewing you might just as well try to build a modem using a cmx469 from CMLMICRO. i'm in the process of doing this myself and it works so far. it is quite straghtforward, no adjustments needed. i only tried 1200 baud but the modem can do up to 4800 baud. for the rest... as i...

Syntor X9000's do too. I think even the GM300 does. Not sure about the Maxtrac. the gm/gp300 don't have it You must have a different GM 300 version than I do, because dual level priority very much works quite well on mine. I just tested it after seeing your post. As for the GP 300, I have not seen ...

I really love a sight as such... a real pleasure!!!

just couldn't help saying it.

doi

around here basically all GSM installs are made with the friction fit type. I don't know of any real complaints so far.

doi

normally that shouldn't be a problem... in a gp300 I have I programmed 3 scan channels with just as many lists. in my rss scanlists are created automatically when i set the mode as scan instead of conventional which is default. if it doesn't behave like that.... don't really know!

i had a gm1200 and all i had to do was to program in the trunk personality the radio had how i wanted it to behave and it was "copied" to conventional. perhaps you have more than one trunk personality. try deleting them until you have only one, then set the backlight... or maybe set the ba...

a repeater with an indoor antenna... hmmm.... sounds interesting..... :-? really if you're going to put an indoor antenna on the repeater you should better think twice if you really need that repeater. anyway - for the funny part - it would be nice to see a four channel repeater all together with ra...

doi

don't worry if it shows fail 01/90. it doesn't matter.

just finish the upgrading procedure and you'll have a mc2100

doi

well, transforming a radio from a gm1200 to a mc2100 involves actually a rewrite of the flash program memory of the processor not only the codeplug area. I would go back but I don't know how to flash a mc2100 back into a gm1200. so now even if I have the original codeplug and i program it into the r...

doi

original was the kind with a 2 line display and full keypad UHF

EKLB: I do have the original codeplug but I don't really see where it fits here.... please help me.

doi

today I upgraded again the radio(reflashed) to find out it had no effect whatsoever

I'm beginning to feel that I would have been better off with just 10 channels but clean receive....

doi

nope, codeplug was created with DOS RSS and programmed with MTSXLAB. I thought too this could be a matter of tuning and I retuned the radio as far as I could. only thing that I could not tune (no service monitor - and don't really know how to do without) was the TX deviation balance. don't know if i...

doi

I read it here

http://www.batlabs.com/gp900.html
under the chapter intrinsically safe radios

maybe I didn't understand it well. otherwise if they lie I lie too.

doi

I have written down the values before this and input them afterwards. and trust me the radio is not off frequency by more than a few hundred Hz perhaps. indeed if the transmitting radio is spot on my radio's frequency the tone does not appear. I have tried tuning up/down but it seems the thing is ve...

doi

one more thing: during upgrade the radio showed on screen FAIL 01/90. anything to do with this?

doi

well, one day I bought a used gm1200 for a good price. all was OK, programmed the radio, worked great 'till I decided I needed more channels. so I flashed the radio into a mc2100. nothing wrong so far. radio programmed fine, TX, RX all ok with one minor exception: when somebody else transmits i hear...

doi

the third pin is used in intrinsically safe radios to supply a separate current limited voltage to the rx only part of the radio. maybe they thought it would be cheaper simply not to put the pin in the radios that don't use it.

doi

if the radio was opened look at the microphone conenctor. there might be something as a bad contact etc.

doi

yep, they do
