I suppose the APX6000 BN and APX8000 use the same speaker?

Wondering if the KT000010A01 speaker for the 8000 is the correct replacement for my 6000 BN speaker? I believe the one in mine has been cranked up too loud and is damaged.

I've had great success with a Sony DSC-1024HD. You can find them for well under $70 if you look around

Same for the ASTRO Saber and XTS3000, you can hex edit the CPS for OOB into 700mhz, but the synthesizer won't lock.

It's better to get an ASTRO25 series radio. They are coming down in price

I'm seeing it here...

I had this issue with a 6m lowband 1250 as well. Never could figure out how to fix it, I read the BSM and re-aligned everything in the tuner but no luck. Gave it back to its owner so too late now.

The GE MLS1 lowband works much better. I made an Excel spreadsheet to calculate hex values for it.

I think it would be fair to say that activity on 2 Meters FM has waned greatly across the whole country. There are a number of factors. The coordinators will say that there there are no available pairs, but what it really amounts to is that there are many pairs being tied up perpetually by people w...

Yeah mine are actually around the same version. They're mid power UHF S split ones and I've had no problems at all with them. You should be fine with that firmware revision.

The MCS2000 uses a SmartRIB, a flashkey, and a CVN file. Latest firmware is R08.??

So far no one has found any other way around this aside from making a UniRIB and flashing it into a European model

Well I just ordered one with a serial connector straight from China. I've seen some with three pins, others with four, I would recommend buying the one with four pins.

Be careful because there are some mislabeled HT1250 cables being marketed for the EX series.

Update: I have corrected this issue. To help anyone else, if you are using a Prolific chipset for your USB cable you must roll back the drivers to version 3.2. See this page for more info: http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php Good info, thanks. I've still been trying to get my TRENDnet TU-S9 to...

Yeah flea market was really good despite all the mud. Lots of DMR XPR6550's there and saw a few APX radios for sale as well. Bunch of XTS and ASTRO Sabers for sale as usual. Even an XTS2250. Lots of super cheap $1-$5 OEM speaker mics. Got some really nice mics new in bag for $5. Also some great deal...

The CDM series takes the same programming cable as a GM300.

So the answer is yes.

I have had success using OEM and non-OEM RIBs with the MCS2000. However even using an OEM RIB have had issues programming certain radios through the control head, so I recommend building a cable that connects directly to the accessory connector on radio. If you look on Repeater-builder the steps are...

N7AS wrote:Is a MTS2000 with S split capable of programming down to 440 MHz? Or is 450 MHz the bottom limit?

Yes. Just hex edit the CPS, it's not hard at all.

I have successfully moved S-split MCS2000 and MTS2000 radios to the 440 ham band with no issues. Usually around 435MHz the VCO won't lock.

I am looking for MTS2000 VHF and UHF Low Split "R". They need to do MDC1200 Encode and Decode. I have CPS R.02.03.00 I have a MTS2000 with just the basic FLASHcode (option H35 enabled). It can decode MDC1200 IDs and encode MDC1200 IDs. Not sure what exactly you're looking to do with MDC12...

You are correct, I have a three slot I-TECH BMS and it only supports NiCD and NiMH batteries, it never got an upgrade for LiON. It originally was only NiCD but a there is a firmware chip in it that can be replaced with a newer one.

Thanks Dave. I was hoping you would chime in. I'm paying $50 each for two "working" units from my employer, only known trouble is one has a bad fan. Last cal on both is 2014. Decent deal? That's not a bad deal at all. I paid a lot more for one at Hamvention. And they're still going for $3...

I use a Dell D630 with Windows XP to program my Waris radios, I'd highly recommend using one.

The pro radio CPS wasn't designed to work on Windows 10

Anyone going to Hamvention with ability to upgrade the firmware to latest on my two IMPRES chargers? One has V2.00 fw so it is pretty old.
Send me a PM or reply.
Thanks.

AD0JA, My VHF MT2000 allows me to program scan on-off via a side button, which is where we've elected to do it on our fleet (the blue-green-turquoise-whatever one). Your software isn't showing that option. Is it a CPS version issue, FW version issue, or possibly that if you're doing it via the ABC ...

Ok am I crazy or does the MT2000 really have a blue top side button? All of mine are green not blue. To view the lists read your codeplug then go into radio wide options then hit F3 to go to Buttons Switches and Menu Items Here's what it gives me for my VHF MT2000 for the side buttons Unprogrammed P...

I think your GM1200 is very similar to an MCS2000, so here's how the monitor button works on an MCS. All the monitor button does is switch between tone squelch and carrier squelch. If you press and hold the monitor button for a second, it should display a squelch adjustment option where you can open...

Motorola never had a service manual for the R2400 series. What they provided was the R2200 service manual with addendums for the module differences between the R2200 & R2400. Also the service manual on repeater-builder is for the R2200A. Interesting. Thanks for the info. I guess I need the adde...

Anyone know if v3.9 is latest firmware?

I just bought one and am wondering. Any reason to run v3.9 over older versions?

I am looking for a service manual WITH the info for the spectrum analyzer for an R2410A communications analyzer. If anyone has one I could buy or obtain one from or if someone has one they could make a PDF copy of, I'd really appreciate it. Yes, I know there is one on Repeater-builder, but it is spe...

Well then if that's the case I am looking for 2 "S" records,and been looking for a while. Can be any flavor P-25 or not just must be XTS-3000 model 3 UHF "R" split and a XTS-3000 model 2 800mhz. I have a Model I XTS3000 800mhz S-REC. There have been some model II xts3000 800mhz ...

I'll be headed to Xenia as well. Can't wait. I'll have my XTS5000 for P25.

Is there any "official" Batlabs 2m P25 frequency that gets used every year?

OK, after thinking about it, that is a wire-wound resistor.

Now I just need to find out what value it is.

I have a ASTRO HT battery eliminator, model #RTL-4224. It has a specific warning on it, 10v MAX. Well, I hooked it up to my variable voltage power supply that was set at 12v and I forgot to turn the power down. You can probably guess what happened next. I let out the magic smoke. After opening it up...

I am interfacing a motorola radius M100 RX and GM300 TX to an FF800 repeater controller. I am using the handset audio connection on the mic jack for RX audio, but the only problem is, the RX audio is very low, even if I put the RX pot at 99% on the controller. Does anyone have any ideas on how to in...
