Do you have access to a conditioner?

A triple cycle is the best thing for batteries that have become lazy.

My $0.02 worth I was doing an install on a then new 2002 Tahoe (Special Service Package) for the local FD and had a 2150 flasher they wanted installed. I had heard you could not install alt headlights on that vehicle so I contacted Whelan who said they did not make a compatable flasher for that vehi...

I dunno, never heard of a "Model 22222" MTVA. The unit pictures looks clean and complete except for the coax that runs between the cradle and the PA, but you can make one of those up in a couple of minutes. Also the PA's are freq sensitive. A VHF PA will not work with a UHF radio, etc., et...

Don't have a clue how they are wired together when one's positive and the other is negative ground. Anyhoo, I remember a thread last year about how to do it, but like I said the thing was under warranty and I didn't want to cause an issue if something went south later on. I also remember a thread ab...

My $0.02 worth: I did a 2002 Special Service Package Tahoe for a local FD last year. The auto headlights and DRL's were factory disabled. The customer wanted alternating headlights. I contacted Whelen for the correct flasher and was told (by the factory) no can do. The headlights are positive switch...

Macon Sparks

What is the date of manufacture on the JT?

Macon Sparks

Checked on Mot.com and no luck.

But if it's like the MTVA's the third wire goes to ignition.

Wrangler (as above) is good and so is:

Vital MPI (Dallas, Tx)

I have installed their alternators and they work great.

I'll tell you the answers, but you have to buy me a "Shrubbery".

Consider antenna selection also. You'll need one that doesn't require a ground plane and is mounted far enough away so it doesn't desense the radio. The old style police motor fiberglass antennas might be the ticket. Also consider one of the amplified speakers to overcome the ambient noise when you'...

Mount the antenna and let the tint installer cut around the box.

Don't go through the tint:

1 - The (inside) box won't have a good surface to hold to

2 - Some tints reduce the signal

Are there one or two "Maxtrac's" inside? If there's 1 = It's just a simple base station If there's 2 = It's a repeater, you'll have 1 1/2 Maxtracs Moto only made one size housing. If you have one Maxtrac, there will be a place to set the second one into, that's why the housing is so big. F...

The JT will work just like the HT in the MTVA. You should be able to Rx OK, but don't fool around when you Tx or the FCC will put you on KP and then you'll be MIA. :D On the serious side: Remember to set the battery size using the selector on the side of the cradle. There are other variables, such a...

Check with the manufacturer of the flasher(s) to see if they are compatable. Their web sites usually have wiring diagrams. I recently went to install an alt/head flasher on a 2002 Police Tahoe and on a whim e-mailed Whelen to see if the flasher was compatable, it wasn't. Had I gone ahead with the in...

If the strobe interfering with the radio is not an issue, here's an installer trick. The factory cable is round and has a shield over the three conductors to eliminate the whining in the radio speakers. That cable is not very handy for running above the headliner because it usually leaves a hump. Go...

Macon Sparks

Radio should be told that this is serious business and to quit acting funny. If that doesn't work, I'd pull the radio down and check the boards and connectors for corrosion. The 2000's are prone to that after a while, especially with the MCS2000 "removable" faceplate. I've seen a number of...

One other thing...... If you don't do your own programming with the RSS, ask your Tech to print out the radio info after he/she does your programming. It's 10 or 15 pages of the scheme of your radio. Then it's easy to check to see what features have been enabled/disabled and check the data for each ...

When we used HT1000's I recall mine doing the same thing if I was scanning. A couple of things to check: 1 - Your most likely culprit is the "Sleep Mode" is enabled on channel 1. The HT's have a battery saving feature that puts the reciever to sleep after 10 seconds of no activity to save ...

The Min III's and IV's do take rechargeable AAA's. The Min II did too but Moto has them wrapped in a plastic sleeve and stuffing two AAA's in there without the sleeve won't work.

No problemo

Might be worth something to somebody on E-Bay?

Macon Sparks

A word of caution if you are going to use the "lock" on the MTVA cradle. The only thing holding the radio in the cradle when it's locked is a small plastic bar that can be broken by forcefully turning the release lever and there goes the radio bye-bye. Plus all the keys are alike so I, and...

Just curious, so I searched Mot.com and the P/N is no longer available but is listed in with the motorcycle radio P/N's.

Probably from an older motor radio. Did the PD you got them from have motor units?

What's the P/N of the charger?

If it's the rapid charger and the battery has a fairly good charge the charger switches to trickle (green light comes on) at 80%. Takes another 12-15 hours to bring it up to 100%.
