That's what I needed......Thanks!

motastro1

Can anyone tell me what buttons you push,on the side of the radio,at power up to see the radio info? I can't seem to remember how to do this.--Thanks!

motastro1

I have an account.....I'll check it out.--Thanks!

motastro1

Can anyone point me in the right direction to get the Minitor 4 programming software? I am being told that it is no longer available from Motorola and I am not finding it on their website. Any help would be appreciated!

motastro1

Thats what I was thinking too but just wanted to confirm it.----Thanks!

I have an XTS3000 model 2 that I would like to use for paging. I would like to set it up so I can use it to receive fire pages when I am not carrying a pager. How do you do this in the programming and is this even possible?--Thanks!

motastro1

I'll check this out too......Thanks!

motastro1

The beep I am talking about is just a single beep when the PTT button is pushed. When I turn the top channel knob from 1 to 2 it says unprogrammed on the screen and give the steady error tone. I am pretty sure it is set to change the channel already. I know I am doing something wrong in the programm...

I have an VHF XTS3000 with the display and 6-buttons under it. I am trying to find the setting in the software that allows you to use the channel selector on the top to change channels. I haven't been able to find it. I am also looking for the setting to turn the beep on when you press the PTT butto...

I have an aftermarket cable and RIB box from Flea-bay and that's what I was wanting to use the USB/Serial adaptor on. I have one like you listed from Radio Shack and that's what I was going to use. Sounds like it should work OK..........Thanks for the reply!

motastro1

Just wanted to check and see if anyone knows if there are any issues using a serial to USB adapter on a programming cable for an XTS & Astro Saber 3..... I have heard both ways. I will be using the cable on a computer with Windows 7 and it doesn't have any serial ports. I may be using 2 differen...

motastro1

That's the info I needed......I was hoping it would scan more though.....--Thanks!

motastro1

Thanks for that info....so at one time the most the radio will scan is 15 or 16 then right....or can you get it to do more than that?

motastro1

Can someone tell me how the conventional XTL2500 radios scan? Is it still the 15 or 16 channels or do they do more then that now? I am not too familiar with the newer radios. Any input on this would be appreciated.--Thanks in advance!

motastro1

Thats all I wanted to know....Thanks!

motastro1

Does anyone know how to look in the radio programming software and find out what radios it will program? I have CPS software Version R05.00.02 and I know it will do my Astro Saber 3 but I cannot remember how to find out what it will do besides that. It has been forever since I used this and it has a...

motastro1

I got what I needed ---Thanks!

motastro1

Does anyone know the correct size and length of the screws that go in the faceplates for a Havis console? I need to get some for a console I have that doesn't have any at all. They don't need to have the hex head just be the right size and length. --Thanks!

motastro1

Thanks for all your help everyone....once again Batlabs members come through!!

motastro1

I am trying to find out some info on a Radius model number. The model number is D44LRA77A5DK. I think it is an M208 UHF radio but I need to confirm this. I need to know the power,channels and band split. Any help would be appreciated.--Thanks

motastro1

I looked through all the settings on the channels in the scan list and they are all the same. I haven't found anything diffrerent yet. I have made fixed lists,taken off priorities,adjusted the squelch levels and changed hang times,nothing has worked yet. I'm at the point now where I am ready to buil...

I think this is the first time I have posted something about Motorola radios that no one has responded to. I 'm sure someone out there is familiar with the Astro Saber 3 radios. Any help on this would be appreciated!

motastro1

I have a UHF Astro Saber 3 and am having a scanning issue. For some reason the radio only stops on a few channels I have in the scan list. All of these frequencies (repeaters) are easily in range and all of my other radios work just fine. I have tried setting a fixed scan list in the programming and...

motastro1

Checking if anyone would happen to have the model number for the shorter battery that goes on the Saber /Astro saber radios? Any help would be appreciated.--Thanks

motastro1

I really appreciate all the input regarding this post and it's looking like I will stay with the UHF that I already use and get some higher power radios.Batlabs members always come through--Thanks Again!

motastro1

The licensing is already taken care of for what I am currently using is what I meant.If I need to get a license for another frequency I will take care of that. This seems to be getting away from what I want to know. I simply was asking if I should stay with what I have or go to another frequency to ...

motastro1

Well so far it sounds like I should just use higher power radios on the UHF frequencies I already use. The biggest reason I was checking is because I recently had someone tell me you could easily get 20 miles or more using low band. Any more info would be helpful.--thanks

motastro1

Licensing wont be an issue. The area is mostly city but is is fairly flat,no mountains or desert anywhere close. We are not talking 20 miles of skyscrapers here either. Any more help or recommendations would be appreciated.

motastro1

I wanted to check with all the radio folks out there to see what would perform better for simplex (car to car) communications. So what works better Low band,VHF or UHF. Right now we are using the simplex side of a UHF repeater (when we are not on the repeater) with 35 and 25 watt radios but they don...

motastro1

Guess I should have read the post again and I would have found it. So how well does the scanner antenna work being inside the vehicle?

motastro1

What radio is the antenna in the back window for and how well does that work? I am looking at doing that with my 97 Explorer but haven't found out if it works very well. It looks really good though!

motastro1

I have a tri-band antenna on my Kenwood D700 now but I can't figure out how to get it to work with my 800 radio or I would. I still have my triplexer that I used to use with my UHF and VHF Spectras and the D700 but I no longer have Spectras so its in a box. If I use the triplexer with the D700 and t...

motastro1

I have a VHF antenna on a 50 watt Orion radio and a tri-band antenna on a Kenwood TM-D700 ham radio. Both antennas are located on the roof of my vehicle with about 2 feet of space between them. My question is can I put an 800 mhz Phantom antenna in between those 2 antennas without any problems. The ...

motastro1

Thanks for the reply. If anyone else has any input on this please do so.--Thanks

motastro1

Does anyone have any experience with these type of antennas on VHF,UHF,or 800mhz bands? I am looking at trying these out but can't find anyone I know that has used them. These have a pretty good price tag on them so any input on this would be helpful.--Thanks

motastro1

Just to let you know the Orion radios will not work with duplexers or triplexers. I tried to run my VHF unit with a Diamond triplexer that would cover 800,VHF and UHF and it would not hit a repeater 5 miles away. I did some checking around and was told they need their own antennas.I hooked up my 50 ...

motastro1

Here is more info I got out of the radio. I think this is the info K8TEK is looking for:

R05.60.00 and DSP A06.05.02

Any other pricing ideas?--Thanks

motastro1

The radio would come with battery,antenna and charger. The battery holds a charge pretty well but not as long as a new one would. Also,shortly after I posted this I checked with the big M on the flashcode and Tom in DC is correct on what is in it. I didn't want to put it for sale on the board for an...

motastro1

I have a UHF Astro Saber 3 403-470 split and I am trying to find out what it is worth. The model number is H04RDH9PW7AN with a flashcode of
000008-002000-8. I have a bunch of radios and I am thinking of selling some of them off but haven't decided for sure yet. Any help would be appreciated.--Thanks!

motastro1

Looking at getting to Dayton this year as I have never been there before and I got a question for those who have been there. Do most of the vendors take credit cards or mostly cash? I am trying to get out of carrying alot of cash so plastic would be best for me but I don't want to miss anything becu...

motastro1

My VHF A4 Spectra has great recieve.It is using a 1/4 wave antenna on the trunk and hears stations 2 or 3 counties away.I am so impressed with it I just got a UHF A9 from the same guy so I hope it performs just as well.

motastro1

Is there any way to tell by the model number if the radio has it or not until you get into the programming. The model number off of mine is
T83FWA7HA4AK.--Thanks

motastro1

So to get it to work do I need to add a board or is it something that needs to be turned on in the programming.I have heard what the MDC1200 sounds like but am still looking for the MDC600. I want to have the tone transmit at the end when I release the PTT.--Thanks

motastro1

I would like to add MDC1200 or 600 to my VHF high power A4 Spectra. Is this an add on board or how do I do this? Also, I found a website on here one time that had a bunch of sounds like MODAT,GESTAR but I cannot seem to locate it so if anyone knows what one it is please post the link.Thanks for any ...

motastro1

I have an A4 VHF High Power Spectra model number T83FWA7HA4AK and I need to know about some of the folowing features and if this radio will do it or not.First,I have about 8 zones of 16 channels programmed into it and want to know if I can scan across zones.Say if I wanted to scan 2 channels out of ...

motastro1

I have one that I got off of Ebay a few years ago and have had it on a couple radios (currently on a VHF Orion)and it works perfectly.I think I got it for $150.00 and not more than a week before I got it I priced them from Pyramid at $1200.00 so as far as performance I have had great luck but I too ...

motastro1

Speaking of Jottodesk,can anyone give me an idea how much they are going for now? I was thinking of putting one in my vehicle. Also,don't you need to specify what radios are going in it to get the right plates to mount them in or do they come adjustable. --Thanks

motastro1

Does anyone know if the squelch threshold can be set through the programming? The reason I ask is I have a friend who has a Vertex VX-150 with a stub antenna and it seems to be alot more sensitive and hears stations alot farther away than an MT2000.--Thanks

motastro1

A great loss indeed.He was always there to help with the craziest radio problems people had.Deepest sympathy to the family,he will be greatly missed.
