Batboard

Thanks for replying. I fixed my problem by taking another personality of trunked talkgroups that had the buttons that I wanted, copied it and replaced the TG's with mine and that fixed it.

kato56

I set menu items in Ergonomics under trunking menu items but in certain zones the items disappear ie. Nuisance Delete, Scan, etc. But when I return to other zones, they show up. I setup my scan list also.
Any help is appreciated

Got 2 Impress bank chargers, still hoping to get the mobile chargers later this year. I'm using my desktop charger velcroed in my vehicle with a cigarette lighter plug for now.

kato56

You need R04.22.00 FW and APX v26.0 CPS and an APX programming cable. However, there are implications once you "read/write" to the radio, it appears to drop out of Radio Management/Radio Central and the serial number will have to be re-added to the fleet RM. We (radio techs) got special pe...

Forgot to mention that I heard Motorola will possibly be releasing a mobile NEXT charger later this year (September 2022)

kato56

I ended up bypassing the inverter route and connecting the NEXT charger to my cigarette lighter directly. The DC requirements for the NEXT charger is 14.5 vdc @ 2.5 amps

kato56

i suggested taking the NEXT AC drop-in charger and running it in the vehicle with an inverter until Motorola decides to make a single mobile drop-in. I'm not familiar with the ION radios whether the foot print is similar and maybe Motorola will make a charger for it.

(Posted this on the APX Subscriber Forum) Is anyone aware if Motorola is going to manufacture a mobile charger for a APX Next Portable ? Only seen the drop in charger that comes with the radio and gang charger. Seems like currently the only solution is getting an inverter and running the drop in cha...

Is Motorola going to manufacture a mobile charger for a APX Next Portable ?

Disregard my post. Helps if I use the RIGHT antenna that came with my 8500 package.

kato56

I have an APX8500 that I enabled the "Location" and menu item "LOC" in my CPS for GPS, connected a GPS antenna to the QMA connector, but the SAT icon continues to flash as if it is unable to receive a signal. When I select refresh, the display indicates "no service" I v...

450-512 The option in tuner for Front End Filter alignment is grayed out

kato56

This may have been an old post, I have a XTS5000 that I tried to adjust the receiver front end filter in the tuner program, but it's grayed out. Does this mean that there is no way to adjust it for this model?
Thanks

My opinion would opt for the WARIS (HT600, P200, MT100) radios would be my first choice, then non-keypad JEDI as a second. Sabers since they are slimmer than the others have a weak point on the battery slide which can snap off

kato56

I too was able to modify an old vhf mt2k top display. Hardest part was removing the 16 pos switch stop for continuous rotary . . . Thanks Frank

kato56

Did you solve this???? Its been a long time, but I seem to remember that once you edit the codeplug and get your frequencies inputted, do not read the radio again, but rather save the codeplug and edit it as required, and rewrite it back into the radio. The trick is to keep track of your file by dat...

I sent you a PM with the info you asked for....

I ended purchasing a Pelican Hard Case and shipped my IFR-1600S to Aeroflex who repaired and calibrated it. Was not cheap, but it's now working great.

kato56

Duh . . . Lesson learned, read the small print. ..... I got out my magnifier and yes, I read the label and I see the note about both chemistrys . . .
Thank You very much for the help....

kato56

The label on the bottom indicates a P/N BC6LMVIR01, KIT: NTN8076A 8118MLO05
I have Ni-MH NTN7396B slim battery that I don't want to burn up since it is NOS to me.

Thanks

kato56

OK seems weird that I have Moto OEM Ni-MH Visar batteries and need to find a after market charger.

kato56

I have a newer style Visar desktop dual battery charger P/N BC6LMVIR01. I'm trying to find out if this charger is for Ni-Cad only or will it safely charge my NOS Ni-MH ???

Thanks

kato56

Will the newer dual charger P/N BC6LMVIR01 charge Ni-MH batts ???

I've installed a UHF 100 watt MTR 2k for our ham club using an RLC external controller. . . no complaints. However, vhf was a different story in that I was unaware that because I had a high split vhf model, the PA would not accept a frequency on 144.00 mhz, so if you are planning on using it on ham ...

It's a hacked MT2K . . .

kato56

I have a Mt2000 model 1 that is setup for 255 channels. I removed the channel stop and need to know if the channels are on 1 zone or ????
So far, I see the first 16, but that is it.

Thanks

kato56

Thanks for replying. I will continue researching and I appreciate your suggestions.

When I try to program the CW-ID using cmd 25#, I can only input the first two digits and I get the program complete beep before I can complete the entire callsign then pressing the pound. Then when the repeater ID's, just the two digits go out. Tried different radios thinking the DTMF wasn't being d...

Sorry, I meant Global Tuner. I am not familiar with the effects of K&M Tuning, VCO Attenuation, etc. so that's why I was looking for information for tuning the transmitter. I did not see steps on tuning the xmtr or rcvr in both the basic and detailed service manual, so that's why I thought there...

kato56

Looking for a tune up procedure for my CDM 1550. Did not see it in the service manual. I'm trying to find out if I can adjust the xmit steering voltage and the CPS isn't that user friendly for me to understand.

Thanks

Sorry Will, "Check the place in Torrance" doesn't compute. . . can you give me more info.

Thanks

My 1600S starting failing self tests # 9-12, 16-23. I'm hoping to find someone local versus shipping it out. Anyone know of someone in Los Angeles, Orange County areas that repairs and might even calibrate service monitors.

Thanks

kato56

I would determine what the sensitivity is through the duplexer on the RX section by comparing what the GR300 receiver opens squelch versus the same input signal going through the cavities would be a good starting point and then investigate the antenna/feedline that it is operating to specification. ...

kato56

I've searched the internet and so far, the web sites that pop up are places back east. I'm searching for a company in the Los Angeles area that can repair my IFR-1600S that is failing multiple self tests which just appeared recently. If I have to, I will ship it, but it is big and heavy and I do not...

If this has been discussed, can someone provide me the link; I have an HT-1250 that when the MDC ID is displayed, (post PTT ID) the ID remains well after the transmission is over, or when another radios ID is decoded.

Trying to program a 146-174 CM300 to 144, has anyone been successful doing this with Commercial CPS R05.16 (US). I've seen some older posts that appear to work, but for older non US versions of CPS/Radios.

Thanks

kato56

Does anyone have the region info for R05.16 for an AA version radio? Want to go to 144 mhz.

Thanks

kato56

Mod works good for a 6550 Q split for going beyond 470 also... just enter the upper extended band limits

kato56

I purchased a 403-470 GP-340 (like a HT-750) for $5.00 that had a broken volume control and a beater case. Replaced the case and volume pot and radio works fine. I also bought a 403-470 GP-380 (like a HT1250) which works fine also. Personal Observations: Both radios are programmed on the ham band, b...

I've had better success through the accessory connector. I'm using a factory cable too.

I like to keep things simple so I just create a new zone, then copy channels from the old zone and paste into the new zone in the new location, and then delete the old zone. I repeated those steps until I achieved the order that I liked, if that makes any sense to you.

Other programmable HT's:
Circa 1990's
GP-68
GP-73
GP-2000
Still have a couple of GP-2000's that I upgraded from GP-68's used on ham radio, 99ch, alpha numeric, full keypad, vfo, s-meter, fpp and CPS programmable. Made for export

Thanks for the idea... I do have some other codeplugs from other XTS's wit the same flash that I will experiment with..... Regards

I had this on the Motorola ASTRO (VSELP/IMBE/AMBE) Equipment forum and didn’t receive any replies, so I thought I’d try it here.
