Why not just use the Headset Jack sold for use on the APX/MCD series ? Connections for up to two headsets are provided at the rear panel of the Consolette. The two RJ45 connectors are designed specifically for the Headset Jack Box (FHN7470_) in conjunction with the Headset Amplifier Module Base with...

I have asked that question multiple times to sales guys. I would imagine if they want fire/ems to purchase they are going to need to release one.

Its been some time but I think there was a home channel that needs defined in the subscriber. I think this is also set in the raider.

KB2ZTX

Thanks !

KB2ZTX

So I am just verifying that I am not missing something. I have a MTR3000 with mixed mode. The only setting I find for digital is color code. Is there no place to put a talk group ? Or is it not needed ? In the subscriber do i just pick one and it repeats that ?

KB2ZTX

Been a few years since i worked on those, but you should be able to connect via Procomm Plus and follow the menu. I believe you connect to the top controller. IS this the newer black units or the tan ?

KB2ZTX

Max you can scan is 16 channels per list. You set the scan list per the personality. All group scan is trunking. System scan is what you are using.

I have 4 of these controllers on 4 GR1225 Rack mount repeaters. Had alot of trouble with noise and static at the site i am at. Solution was to wire both TX and RX audio out of the 16 pin connector with shielded wire. Shield went to ground. Solved 99% of the issues for me. Strange part was these repe...

Used many of the QM kits over the years, and even some of the QM2 kits. Never had many issues with them. Did install one GM300 with the factory kit but ribbon cable got pinched. It wasn't the best cable but the concept was fine. I still have some old QM1 kits floating around from removals and such.

You need enhanced ID flash. Had to do 6 of ours for this feature to work.

Need alot more info than this.

What kind of radio, band, frequencies, antenna location, mount, power...

adapter plates. For programming portables. Not sure on the value as most people who need to program the portables with them have the plates

Pulled my ignition sense from the rear 12v power port. Radios are all under the back seat and this was the easiest connection.

One of the things we did with our APX radios was set up conventional talk group scan on our VHF channels. This allows us to hear dispatch if they call when we are on the VHF channel. We still can't hear the VHF while in Priority scan on the trunked system but until we are on scene we don't use the V...

All done from the keys on the remote. download the manual. Pretty simple to change to 4WT

This will depend on what your county supports via CAD. Our county sends us our CAD data via a email and we have a computer program called ADI. This can output to a LED display but we use standard monitors in the station and have another program that displays the call. when not on a call it scrolls t...

Thanks GPS is not used. They use the standard speaker mic (non-public safety). I'm going to drop off a UHF and 800 Mhz whip and have him try each. He never uses 800 and if he did it would take 15 minutes to find the right bank for it, so think the UHf may be perfect for him.

KB2ZTX

your correct. I dont have the cable in front of me but can check this weekend. The rear head uses an amplified speaker with a volume control as the volume on the head is not used. I am thinking 1 should be power, ground and audio. Did you look at any with a VOM ?

KB2ZTX

So my buddy called me last night. He was issued a new portable at work. It is a UHF/800 Mhz. All the local counties use UHF Astro P25 systems. The radio has one bank of 800 Mhz stuff in it that have never been used. This bank is for his vehicle repeater to his VHF radio. As you can imagine he hates ...

Same thing here. Our officers seats have 12V impress chargers, but the back RACK is 110. the only issue we have found is depending on the condition we may end up with a dead battery. Has not happened yet although the vendor told us this is an issue. Our FD goes thru all the trucks weekly at drill so...

I had this issue on another xtl...somewhere (i dont recall where) i had to delete "blank" that was in the list 3 times.

KB2ZTX

Im a bit confused. the range should be much wider than 465-470. I have a PM400 with channels from 451 - 468 mhz. What does the bandsplit show when you read the radio ?

This is it -

Cheap and simple. Think it was a galls $99.00 special

We just have a standard code III siren with bell on it mounted on the roof. Siren is a federal PA300 with PA. Dont think we have ever used the siren, but use the PA often

KB2ZTX

True. But no manufacturer is going to market a radio that can do both. Its bad enough sales folks all over are selling public safety turbo stuff.

KB2ZTX

Taurus...no luck as of yet

KB2ZTX

are you sure it is the windows version ? The DOS version will not install in windows, nor work

KB2ZTX

Never gonna happen. 2 Totally different formats. Kinda same as P25 and NEXEDGE.

KB2ZTX

So I am in search of a console for a CIV version of the PI. Floor shift of course. Searched Jotto and Havis with no luck. Some departments are buyign the CIV version for unmarked but want consoles. Anyone done any yet ?

KB2ZTX

I dont recall the spot but sure if you google it you can find it. I setup my PC to not boot Windows. Basically boots up in DOS. If I want windows I type WIN and then it starts. It was a simple change in regedit if i recall.

KB2ZTX

I have used suitcase P25 repeaters that are just that, 2 XTL mobiles with a repeater controller. They are fine as a tactical repeater but you loose many of the P25 functions like ID and such. Again ideal for what it was used for. Im sure the Quantar will be the ideal setup for the hill top.

KB2ZTX

I have never seen any other color on the 2500. I have seen the yellow 3000/5000 series. Kinda shocked me. If I can get my hands on it one day i'll pop it open to see if there is a number anywhere

KB2ZTX

XTS2500 OD Green.

So a friend of mine that works for one of those fedearl places stopped by the house the other night and he had a colored XTS portable. I have never seen one. I have seen the APEX series in different colors. He said a couple of the guys have this case but he has not seen many either. I am assuming Mo...

So is it possible ? My wife has a Jeep Wrangler. Here VHF radio is an ICOM with a small remote head mounted on the console. This weekend I plan to move this to the upper windshield next to the Talon so it is easier to see. I put the xtl2500 control head in last weekend on the center console and she ...

Had a similar problem many years ago. As it was a go or no go situation we also installed "monitors" on the system. Basically the audio is sent to a module on the console that is turned down low. The other item we did on some of them was run the COR to a small LED on the console. Basically...

Check to verify it wasn't set up for an external repeater controller. I bought a used one that was set up that way. Found in the programming it was setup for external repeater vs the standard internal basic. Look under radio wide general options. Think it was repeater w/external

KB2ZTX

I'll check both. have not been to the site with holidays...although now that there is 2+ feet of snow there it may be spring....We will see.

KB2ZTX

Could it be an internal man down board. Ie: radio tips over for so long then sends the man down alert ?

KB2ZTX

OK. Im confused but the portable and mobile cannot be on the same frequency, unless your talking to the SVR with a different radio ? What is the SVR supposed to do ? Normal set up on these systems are the mobile is on a dispatch channel and the SVR is on a channel to talk to the portable radio. Henc...

It should all be in your book that came with the RICK. Use those same settings in the CDM. I have built many of these. I normally use Pin 11 and Pin 8 for CSQ/PL detect on the radios. Make sure dip switchs are set correctly in the RICK.

KB2ZTX

Well at this point the base doesn't even ID without PL to meet FCC requirements. The only time it will ID is after somone uses it. I'll be calling MOL again. I cannot imagine there is no way to make the CWID work even without PL. I went thru all the settings and even set it for 1 minute with no ID e...

KB2ZTX

I unchecked that box as I saw that originally. Currently the base will not send CWID unless someone talks. If the repeater is used it will send the ID after a conversation. I actually listened to this the entire night and it never ID'd. This morning one ofo ur units called on the air and the ID went...

KB2ZTX

OK that i know. customer is requesting this to ID with PL. I cannot seem to get it to do this function unless someone talks.

KB2ZTX

Correct Bill, but at least I will hear from each person that needs this completed when they are looking for the PL/DPL code that I change it to. With the amount of work any radio tech has going on right now in regards to the deadline I am fine with people going other places to get reprogrammed. Alth...

KB2ZTX

In reading this thread I must admit some of this makes sense. I didn't think about changing a PL/DPL on our infastructure but have been seriuosly wondering how to get all the radios that are users of the system reprogrammed to the new requirements. Maybe switching the PL/DPL is a easy way to get thi...

KB2ZTX

It definately has somethign to do with the rear speaker. I noticed this as I forgot to plug that in our new install and had audio in the front but none in the rear. Ours also has the red ignition wire off that plug.

KB2ZTX

So I installed our SAR teams new MTR3000 recently. Since it has been installed I have not heard the IDer other than after somone talks. I have it setup for 15 minutes with PL. Did I miss a parameter ?

KB2ZTX

Thanks familiar with the shift method, just didn't know if the hardware would support it that low. Guess i'll try it tonight.
