That is correct, we have used them to activate a emergency public address system as well as to activate other things

Hi,
No LAB is a Motorola RSS which was not intended to be used by people other than Motorola , it somehow made it out of motorola's doors, it is not available to the public, as other RSS is available once you go through their license program

patrol186

I have done 5- 2 ch maxtrac to 32 ch in the last 24 hours, they all do the same,
they read/write function to spec.
I dont think the double beep is an issue

patrol186

Yea it should work , the tones reeds in the Minitor have a bit more leeway than the keynote but it should work fine, I have 2 set up on WX w/ alert
Ben

patrol186

or for the Minitor I/II series 1047.1 works fine

patrol186

I have seen this happen on the older units with the 3 battery contacts and also if your speaker mic connector is not covered ( IE. if you short contacts

Monty thanks for the board replacement info,
very simple, helps to have the service manual and some knowlege of the product, but all in all real good
Ben

patrol186

If I remember correctly there is a way to mod the volume , but it has been a few years ago now that I repaired the minitor I series,
there is a way to do it by replacing a few minor components on the audio out portion of the decoder board

patrol186

Monty, could you e-mail me the info on the conversion would like to try it out

The only pagers that I have found with a missed page alert is the Minitor II SV, the III probably does it also,
the Keynote and the Director II also go into open squelch after a page but lack the monitor function

patrol186

I have noticed the warble used a bit on the PL version Minitor II as a extra wake up call

patrol186

In addition to the above the Motorola Radius came in 2 power types,
they had the 5 watt and a 2 watt unit

patrol186

Now that could be caused by several things,
the squelch pot may need to be adjusted, computers and other equipment emitting Rf can also cause this.

tyr P&W service center they have them in their blow out page

Thanks for the info, that is what I thought.
I pulled this unit out of a closet at work today with a treasure of other equipment,
this stuff had been in and old storage building closet at work,and was given to me.
Got a cool new in the box MX300 that was marked spare

patrol186

Does anyone know the pinout for the TMN1004A desk top mic? is this the same as the TMN1004B or were changes made?
need pin out to maxtrac50 connector if it is different
any help would be great
Thanks
Ben

A few thoughts,
toolproofing error, wouldnt this be a possible issue?
if it works for you let me know I would like to try it as well

you would be suprised what you can fit in a 1997 crown vic, problem is I get my new one this month, new car will have a vhf spectra A5 and a uhf MCX1000 for radios

here is another idea, go into the rss and go to setup/config mode,F9 I think, and make sure that the rss is set to the correct com port

Hi,
I currently maintain 9 HT750 uhf portables at work,
they are good units but as is stated before beware of the older units ( programmed w/ v01.00.00 software) and the old firmware,
they tend to have the most problems.
if the radio is a keypad version the keypad board assy tends to go bad Mot ...

You could try to build a fresh codeplug using the correct model # and options and try to dump it in a few times I was able to recover one that way

might be worth a try

patrol186

I also have the whole Minitor I series and tons of spare parts if you need them.
just shoot me an e-mail

Wow this is a blast from the past!

I used the front assembly from my saber 3 136-150.8 and installed it on a saber 1 157-174 mhz,
I then programmed my "new built saber III as a low power H33QXK7139CN model,
the only parts I have left is now a saber 1 136-150.8
you might look on e-bay as there are a few saber parts auctions that ...

I have been doing some "reworking" on the radio, I got it do do some more freqs but when I hooked the radio to the service monitor I learned that while the radio may take the freqs the radio starts to go off freq, it seems the VCO cant hold frequency too much above what the radio is rated for.

you will have to read the radio with RSS to get band split info,

I think I had to program my Maxtrac 300 as though it had a desk mic for it to work,

MTSX will not programm a mtx810,
they are in a different series, if the mtx is a jedi series ( mtx8000/9000) then i believe the software will work

RADMBL should not be able to program any maxtrac as far as I have seen,
I have both radius and maxtrac mobiles,
but the software is not interchangeable.
I have to use maxtrac for my maxtrac 300
