I ended up finding a pair of these and have completed my cable project.

George

Does anyone have a spare red banana plug for a R1011 power supply?

I have found substitutes but want one with a red handle

Please contact via direct email

Thank you.

What is really scary is I have my 1983 Park Avenue back on the road with my vhf and uhf/low band x9000 set that I bought NEW in 1987 and they are still installed in this car even after having spent 14 years behind my mom’s woodshed. And they work PERFECTLY.

George

Check JU13 and make sure it is set to put 5v down to the VCO set.

Okay. I am going to reveal something that cost me several bottles of Canadian Club on one of my trips through Schaumburg and a pile of gold wings at papadeaux in rolling meadows.

What are the limitations of MPL on a Quantar?

Can it act like a community repeater with PL in and PL out on some users and DPL in and DPL out on other users?

Can it do cross coding?

Can it do DPL in and PL out?

George

There are a bunch of new products out like this PM400 I have laying here and I need information about it.

Why aren’t the new products being documented and shown like all the radios were in the past? Have we lost interest?

George

I have never been successful with putting a newly minted code plug for 136-150 into a drawer with a range 2 VCO. I have pulled range 2 drawers down into range 1, but this was done only with using RSS 5.02 or one of the 4.X versions that had the range 2 ranges specifically expanded downward. That wor...

Get a meter on the steering line and report the voltage as you move down in frequency.

[quote="g8tzl2004"]A VHF CDM covers from 136 to 174 MHz (ie a 38 MHz range) A UHF CDM covers from 403 to 470 MHz (ie a 67 MHz range) A "10m" Low Band CDM covers from 29.7 to 36 MHz ( ie a 6.3 MHz range) So why is the low band CDM coverage so small? Why do you need 3 different rad...

George

Okay, I'll ask...what is CHIRP? Where is it available?

George

Here's what you do. And I would know because I have been with X9000 since 1988. First, look at the little red LED on the RF board. That is the indicator when the VCO is unlocked. If it's not lit, that is good. if it is solid lit, that's unlocked and that's bad. If it's low level lit, that means the ...

If you really don't want the work of fixing your control head, find an HCN1073 or a HCN1063. These work with Spectra or X9000 on S9600E protocol. Anything that uses the Motorola processor is compatible. The Hitachi processor is dependent upon the local blown program because that processor does not u...

George

so far as I know there aren't any jumpers to enable or disable the dimming button. It should simply work unless there is something holding it back. I would look in the manual for how this button interacts with the processor and make sure the conductors are good from the contact pads over to the proc...

Before anyone says go do a search, I DID ALREADY. I am certain that I downed a PDF schematic of this interface from here but I misplaced the file. I searched several times over and did not find the PDF I had downloaded before. So prove me brain dead and point me to the file. Or does it simply not ex...

Does anyone have a scan of the manual for the CLT500 or the CLT1000?

George

I am looking for a pinout or a print for the DB25 on the back of an X9000 consolette. This is the connector used for the DGT9000 remotes. Does anyone have a print of that connector and any circuit board behind the connector? Is the SB9600 bus located on the DB25? I would imagine it is due to the DGT...

George

Okay, here's what I am looking for... I had a low band exciter for a Micor mobile. It was a 30-36 range 2 version. This was also a phase modulated version that used the PL board with wider pin spacing. Anyone have one? I need one for a base station and the reason I want the PM version is because I h...

George

Thank you for looking. I'll await your response.

George

I think it's kxn1028 and K1003, or is it K1004? KXN1028 for TX and K1003/4 for RX. I forget which.
Yes, I have a customer that needs to recrystal a base and has a need for new deployment.
When was the last time you saw a low band 1/4 wave on a body mount on a vehicle?

George

Looking for 45.0 channel elements for a Micor base. Both Transmit and Receive

Anyone have any in the drawer they wish to sell?

George

I suppose this belongs in for sale, but I will ask anyway.

Does anyone have a set of 146.52 55 or similar channel elements for a Micor? I will work with either a base or mobile set.

Anyone?

George

I used the dual antenna arrangement for years with Spectrum antennas on 29.6 and 52.5 with no issues. The coax lengths are great for a car with a full sized trunk and the drawers mounted on the right side.

George

You can go to 160 modes with no problem. It was a standard option for the radio. If you go above that it's at your own risk. Strange things happen and you may have to back down the number of modes to have normal operation.

George

If it's a ten channel unit, you can operate with the jumper cut. If it's a 16 channel unit, you have to put the jumper in, make your changes and then cut the jumper again. See what happens when you hit Pro-Pri then digit 0 That should put you in programming mode. I had a wilson 2510 in my car for ye...

Hello all, it's been a while.

I am looking for Will, a gentleman who offered to repair RIB boxes for me. I lost the original emails he and I had swapped.

Will, if you are out there, please drop me a note at krmjqo@gmail.com

Thanks!

The Maggetvox CRT was a real piece of crap. Every R20XX unit I have was updated to the Telefunken CRT. You can tell the difference with the focus control. If the focus range is long and mushy, you have a Maggetvox. If the focus is very sharp and in a very small range on the control, you have the Tel...

The difference between lab and normal RSS for both Maxtrac and Spectra is presence of the maxtrac.usr or the spectra.usr file This is where the type of software package is defined. If you have a reasonably new version, like above 6.xsomething in spectra, you can even take the .usr file from maxtrac,...

George

What version RSS do you have?

George

The difference between the scanning in an X9000 and a Spectra is the scan map for an X9000 is done on the per channel basis and the spectra uses a common scan table with individual entries in it. The per channel mapping does allow up to 16 modes on mode slaved basis, but that's it, as far as I know....

George

Does the spectra astro HHCH support DTMF?

The keypad looks like it does.

The application is for a space challenged vehicle.

George

Any ideas on this one?

Is this another hex edit job?

If so, where and what?

Thanks!

George

Does anyone still use this?

Does anyone have a copy yet?

Please pm.

Thanks!

This is one of the exact reasons why I use X9000 instead of Spectras. I don't have overheating problems.

You may want to keep those pictures to yourself because NYPD may want their radio back considering how well their stuff works these days...NOT!

If this were FDNY, no contest...they WILL take it back from you!

On the (new) hit ABC show Life on Mars, has anyone noticed the portables they use? I am dead certain they are MT500 and should be HT220 for the era. The knobs are wrong. They seem to be going out of their way to not show the portables much. I was working on MT500 in 1985 and the HT220 would have bee...

Yep, it works above 500 MHz. Must be that chip. Okay, now what? I really can't afford to send it out for repair and I can change chips. Is this a surface mount or some hot gas bonded thing?

I'll check the frequency range above 490 and see what it does.

I know it doesn't work in VHF or 450.

I'll follow up as soon as I can.

Thanks!
