Ok, I know there are known problems with some jedi displays. My babied-to -death MTS, that I bought NEW, and has not ever been abused has this display problem with missing pixels. I accept this is an inherrant problem, BUT - WHY IS IT INTERMITTANT??? NOTHING I do seems to reproduce the missing pixel...

JOHN 1807

I know I haven't looked at the board for a while- - - BUT, is the XTS3K no longer made? It doesn't appear on M website???

JOHN 1807

Simplex is radio to radio (talkaround)

- versus radio to repeater to radio.

JOHN 1807

A friend called me today with a sudden problem with her HT1250. She reported to me that suddenly, while in quik-call mode, the radio would seem to "reset" itself, AND she noted that although there was backlighting to both the screen and keypad, the contrast on the LCD seems to be zero. she...

JOHN 1807

Someone can correct me if I am wrong but will the HTAVS stuff work in an MTS2000 as well as the HT1000 since they are built on the same platform can they not work in the MTS2000. I have used these on the HT1000 and the encryption works nice and good and if I remember correctly it can pass through a...

JOHN 1807

What I do to my MTS is rest the control knob against a table/hard surface and GENTLY tap the bottom of the radio with the heel of my hand (as to tap the knob down to make contact with the housing- that usually, at least for a while "tightens" the feel of the knob.

JOHN 1807

thanks.

JOHN 1807

Actually, I don't know if it's on astro sabers only- but what exactly is the long, skinny barcode on the back of the radio in between the two info stickers?

what's it's purpose?

JOHN 1807

I would like to put a DES encryption board in my virgin (never opened) MTS2000 with an intrinsically safe rating. I have never installed a board in the radio before. I am the original owner, and I was wondering if an encryption board must be factory installed in order to maintain the IS rating? I pe...

JOHN 1807

Not being familiar with the system (repeated?) Is it possible that another unit is (intentionaly - or not) keying up over another in the middle of a transmission?

JOHN 1807

I would prefer to vote for the woman on your avatar! But since it isn't an option, i'll say this: I owned one, have since sold it for an Mts. it was a good "step up" radio in the waris line. nice features (or more correctly- feature rich, usefull or not) Build wise? it's a waris, like it o...

JOHN 1807

All HT1000's, to my knowledge, will do everything you ask for straight out of the box, vs. hunting for sabers that will do the same. not to mention that (i believe) ht1000s are still supported, as they are newer than sabers. Don't misinterpret me- sabers, in my opinion, are one of the best built rad...

JOHN 1807

I'm fairly certain that all conventional visars are QK capable, and they do use the same rss as the HT1000, the only thing that comes to mind is the firmware- as I'm not sure if all support quik call

JOHN 1807

Interesting, I thought about the components thing but figured it wasn't enough to justify the price increase - although slight. Then again, I guess they don't really need to justify anything- the price is the price! I must say I never thought about the "supply and demand" idea- more of uhf...

JOHN 1807

I just have to ask, I have always noticed that there is a slight price difference between vhf and uhf radios of the exact same model, why is that????????

JOHN 1807

Well, I've never seen a Si, but it looks like they don't have quite same housing/size as an astro saber , so maybe the saber housing shape/design was built "around" the jedi board?

-J

JOHN 1807

Is it possible that your pre- time on the cdm's are set too long?

JOHN 1807

Or, you can do what I did, Mate a saber or jedi speakermic to a waris connector, it's not for the faint of heart, but it can be done. I personally have mated a saber ps speakermic (I like the design and straight cord) to fit an ht1250- obviously there is no rf power to the mic's antenna though. But ...

JOHN 1807

Thanks, couldn't recall what the rss looked like and we are getting the 1550's at work- seems that our biomed dept. can't figure out how to do it, so they called ME because I recomended the 1550 over the 1250.

Thanks, John

JOHN 1807

Is there a way to assign the call playback (quick call) feature to one button as opposed to having to go into the menu to play back the call?

I no longer have one and can't remember how the rss allows you to set it up.

Thanks, John

JOHN 1807

Ahhhhhhh,

Makes sense , like they say- you learn something new everyday.

JOHN 1807

No, the other way around. Turning on preamble will help mute hearing any MDC packets when recieved by the other radios. PJ, I thought the digitally operated squelch (dos) settings determined how much of the MDC packet you would hear on the receiving radio- basically all you would hear is a "ch...

JOHN 1807

True, most radios have the option of MDC pre/post,

However, this refers to MDC ID only, not preamble which I'm sure is available "pre" only.

Preamble would serve no purpose post ID

apco25 wrote:its only standard on H35 option.

H37 or H38 radios won't do it since they are trunked flashes with basic conventional operation.

You guys are correct as usual, I pulled out the plastic packaging from mts, sure enough- flashed for H35 conventional operation.

JOHN 1807

You learn something new everyday.

JOHN 1807

Thanks Larry Radio came with an intrinsically safe battery which is only about "50%" good. Also acquired a "100%" good standard battery at same time NOT realising that there was any difference - nor did the seller!! Thanks to Batlabs , established that you CANNOT transmit with a...

JOHN 1807

I'm not sure- (I had the same discussion and questions as you a while back) but it seems the general concensus is that MDC encode for ptt-id is standard on the MTS- as a matter of fact, thats just what M calls it in the advertisement (standard) What it won't do without the proper flash is decode/dis...

JOHN 1807

Don't mean to answer your question with another question but,

I have never heard of any "R" (I assume you mean ruggedized) Jedi, is there really such a thing?

-John

JOHN 1807

Are you just putting the meter in between the duplexer and antenna, or have you tried putting it from the transmit output to the antenna, without the duplexer being in the circuit? That would at least tell you if it's the duplexer causing the problem or not. Oh.. and the sticking the coax on your t...

JOHN 1807

Thanx EKLB, Well, the power/swr meter I'm usung is a little R/S type, its branded as being for use with 440mhz, the duplexer is a 7 can mobile sinclair built specially for the moto apcor medical (paramedic) radio. the radio is 450-470 capable and I recently installed a recrystalled channel element i...

JOHN 1807

Hi , I am trying to tune an APCOR duplexer using the watt meter method (just to get the basics) Problem: this radio is known (or at least thought) to be putting out somewhere in the neighborhood of 12 watts. so I place an in-line power/swr meter between the transmitter output and the antenna and whe...

JOHN 1807

looks cheaply made.

JOHN 1807

Larry and Dan, Wow, Thank you for the intense information, This is exactly the kind of stuff I'm looking for, as I am absolutely HELLBENT on using my apcor as a repeater, even if just to meet the challenge. I was fortunate enough to get the service manual with it so I have been studying it quite a b...

JOHN 1807

Ok guys, Thank you both for the information, And yes, You guessed correctly------its an apcor and yes I am looking to reverse the splits! Dan562: what do you mean by there might be more insertion on the four filter side ? Do you mean more signal (power)? Sorry as I am just learning the whole duplexe...

JOHN 1807

Do duplexers have a dedicated Tx/Rx ? I am in posession of an old sinclair (7 cavity) mobile duplexer (uhf) that has 4 cavities for transmit and 3 cavities for receive. Originally the radio it was used for was set up for non-standard split. Transmit=High and Receive=low Is it possible to use this du...

JOHN 1807

Dan562, Thanks for the additional info on suitcase repeaters. You are indeed correct on the specs of the Apcor, it did include those features and some did have the capability of REPEAT mode, I have several questions regarding how to change the "standard" repeat format. Another member of th...

JOHN 1807

Ok guys, Since I'm messing around with my APCOR I was wondering What is different (aside from securenet,and landline-linking function) between a "Suitcase" repeater and my apcor (I realize the apcor was made for Paramedics) What I mean is that they both utilize the MX radios, correct? I as...

JOHN 1807

Craig,

Thanks for the advice.

I'm anxiously awaiting the Fedex man for delivery of my apcor and I would appreciate any advice-- I had cracked open a high power before but it wasn't mine to mess with, This one IS so I will take any/all advice out there!

Thanks

John

JOHN 1807

Jim, Thats exactly what I was going to use it for (GMRS repeater). I knew about the "upside down" problem and I'm going to experiment anyway, it only cost ten bucks (well, before ripping it open to play with anyway) I had previously talked to a fellow batlaber a while back (richyradio) who...

JOHN 1807

By tail, I am assuming you mean the hang time of a repeater. Also by hi-power APCOR I am ssusming you mean the unit that transmits and recives on the 460 mhz Med channels not the 458 hiway call box channel, which is supposed to go to the ambulance for retransmission. If both of the above questions ...

JOHN 1807

anyone?

repeater tail?

JOHN 1807

This project has been on and off with me for a while. Its on again this week. Question: With regard to the HIGH power apcor in "repeat" mode (using a handheld) Does anyone remember or know if I should be hearing any kind of repeater tail when repeating the handhelds signal through the apco...

Thanks all, yup, using 100% pure silicone spray (onto a rag)

JOHN 1807

Cool !

Gonna give'em both a try.

JOHN 1807

I was spraying my trucks door gaskets with pure silicone spray the other day (to prevent them from freezing-stuck) I read the uses listed on the side of the can and it mentions preserving plastics/vinyl/rubber etc... So I'm wondering if anyone knows FOR SURE if it would be ok to shine up housings on...

JOHN 1807

Well, didn't think of that but aren't I simply "extending" the antenna from its normal place?

Where is the "ground reference" normally on that radio in particular, its not like a jedi connector ( i think)

-Any ideas?

John

JOHN 1807

Thanks Tom, I guess the ham stuff is generally sma, I looked at using a Comet model# ht-255 -- looked perfect exept its SMA, Damn !!! Maybe I'll try installing a TNC female chassis mount in the mic instead of the BNC, Any recommendations for a source for such an item? Rat shack is so totally useless...
