I used to work in Motorola's test equipment service depot and serviced all the monitors from the S1327 series to the R2600 series. That being said, I never saw an "SP" designation on any of the R2600s. Best guess is that it might have been used by development for testing new options. If s...

I have owned several R2600 series but have never seen a SP designator in the model number; R2600B/SP. Can someone elaborate on what the SP means?

The PMLN4959A cable is what I was looking for. Thanks

I have an XTL5000 110W high power VHF unit that I want to use it with an O3 head. The HHCH changes channels just fine and all the buttons work. The thing is how and where do I get speaker audio and have an accessory connector? I saw a Motorola PMLN4959A cable and am wondering if that is it? I also s...

I do have 50 ohms at the N-connector. As far as the attenuator, what does that entail to fix? And if doable are parts readily available?

radiocat37

A follow up. I looked through some posts and am going to remove the bottom and see if the center pin connection is intact; also ohm it out and check that.

radiocat37

I have an R2760A that passes all calibration tests and both the ANT port and the Gen out port are fine. Does the RF I/O port have a fuse like the others? No signal comes out of the RF I/O port and no signal goes into the port; at least not showing on the screen. Every other function seems to work ju...

I am happy to report my AS plus is now operating just fine on 145.190 Mt Mitchell NC and a few others. Thanks again!!!!!

radiocat37

I am going to have to have a little more direction here. I convert 146000000 and get 8B3C880. Normally I add a leading zero to get 08B3C880. That gives me eight characters. If that is wrong then correct me. Also the only .exe file I see is the PatMob file. I am getting nothing in my hex-editor search.

radiocat37

Thank you very much. I have done quite a few Kenwood and Vertex radios this way. I will try this and report back. Thank you

I have programmed many astro spectra VHF radios down to 144 MHz, but this is my first go around with an astro spectra plus VHF T04KLH9SW9AN (I have messed with numerous 800 MHz AS plus). My AS plus will not go into the 144-145 portion of the band without showing the "invalid field" signal....

I have an Astro Spectra VHF 110W W4. It has been awhile since I have programmed one and am trying to set the scan up for user select scan. Can someone point me in the right direction on the user select scan settings.

radiocat37

Good evening, I have an XTS5000-M3 VHF and when compared to my other VHF radios the receive is not good. I verified the antennas by switching them and got the same results. I have astro tuner, but the VHF RX adjust is not an option. Are there any known common receive issues with these? I have been p...

I am converting an "O" style head to a "W" style head on an XTL5000 high power unit and am needing the ribbon cable that goes to the brick unit. I have the end cap piece but evidently the mid power and high power pin set up is different. Can someone give me the ribbon cable part ...

radiocat37

I have an XTS1500 VHF H66KDCPW5BN. Can someone give me the part numbers for both the PTT/button bezel and the keypad? Thanks

radiocat37

I have recently acquired a couple of astro spectra plus 800 MHz radios and have a question. One model number is: D04UJF9SW5AN and the other is: D04UJF9SW5BN. I know the A version has the 4-meg VOCON and the BN has the 8-meg version. Are there any other differences and what does the 8-meg give you as...

radiocat37

I actually found the correct port. I never noticed the circular port between the two cable connection ports on the front panel. I felt pretty dumb. Got it all programmed and working. Thanks again.

radiocat37

I have a CDM-1550 (Non-LS) VHF. I am not sure if I have a true problem or a programming not correct problem. I am not getting any audio from either the front speaker (It is plugged in) or the rear speaker when attached with the acc. plug. I can change the setting in the CPS to handset and receive au...

radiocat37

I think I found it. HKN6155B HKN6155 - Motorola ASTRO SPECTRA Programming / Flash Cable RS232

Thanks to all who helped.

For the 25-pin connector what cable??

radiocat37

Thanks. This model doesn't have a rear accessory port. It has the front remote panel like a spectra (control cable on one side and programming cable port on the other side). Can you advise a part number or location where I can get that cable?? Thanks

radiocat37

I have a W7 head, XTL5000 high power VHF remote mount and am not sure what is the correct programming cable. Can someone advise?

Thanks

radiocat37

Sorry for confusion. The flashcode is what I read in the CPS. I did the button press/service mode and got the following: AP_R03.36.03 DSP N05.01.02 And this string that doesn't look like a flashcode but here it is: 465AWL0429 I have a digital scanner (RS pro-26) and transmitted the saber on a digita...

I have an astro saber model-3. H04RDF9PW7AN. 403-470 split. The flashcode is: 000008-000000-2. This radio is super clean and still has a bunch of fed stuff programmed in. I programmed in a few UHF HAM channels and just for kicks I thought I would set a channel to digital. My question is although the...

I am happy to report I survived. I followed the youtube directions and it was really no big deal. The arc traces were everywhere and it was very dusty and dirty. The anode area was awful, but now is like new. I cleaned everything, wiped it down, used compressed air, taped up areas to help prevent fu...

radiocat37

Thanks for heads up. I will do that this weekend and report back. Any tips on discharging the CRT?

radiocat37

My R2600B/HS starting making an arc noise and then the display was dimming. Then I heard arcing and removed the top. I saw arcing from the CRT shell to an internal frame rail and shut it down. I powered it back up and saw a steady arc at the same point. I fear my CRT may have died, but am in unfamil...

radiocat37

Is it fixable? I have the tools and the soldering skills.

radiocat37

One more thing. I have illumination on the keypad but nothing is lit up on the mic display. Is this a setting somewhere?

radiocat37

Well problem found. Thanks for all the help. Even though the RIB would read my W9 it wouldn't read my W3. I decided to replace the RIB battery and now it reads the W3. I didn't think it would work but it did. I guess it needed more juice to read the W3. I am glad you all at least pitched in. The rea...

radiocat37

That is what I was thinking. Some form of communication is taking place. What is newer than 5.03? I think a 5.04 was out. Anything that may have been used beyond that?

Model: T04KLH9PW3AN. Flash: 540001-000000-4

radiocat37

Gotcha. No I put the cable in the handle part. That is only place I tried. I didn't want to go any further with it. I forgot to mention it does give me an error 08/10 code briefly (which is siren/PA) then gives me a normal screen. Does it require the siren to be hooked up before it can communicate? ...

radiocat37

I am new to the w3 110W astro spectra (lots of experience with W9 radios). For the Y cable speaker and ign sense is the connector the same set up as a mid power regular spectra? If not, what pins are the speaker and ign sense? Thanks

radiocat37

20 channels and 20 named. Its weird because I can actually write back to it the computer shows changes have been made, but they haven't. I can then read the radio and it shows changed information but once again nothing has changed. I have never seen this before. I am using 1225 version 4.0 for XP.

radiocat37

I have several M1225 UHF radios that will read and write with M1225 4.0, but they are not really getting written to. The computer shows codeplug write successful, but no actual changes take place. I have never seen this before. Any ideas?? The radio TX and RX are good.

Model: M44DGC90J2AA

radiocat37

Nothing lights up.....nothing. But all the controls work. The radio was working great yesterday and definitely have two good heads. I am getting another spectra and cable today to try some more tests. I will get back to you. Yes tried the DIM button and voltages on red and green are good.

radiocat37

I have a W4 astro spectra T04KLF9PW4AN. Everything has been fine and now I have no display. The controls all work fine but nothing lights up. The RF is good but no visual display. I have tried two control heads and nothing. If this is a capacitor issue where should I look (which board). If this is p...

I have a VHF maxtrac 16-CH 45W, 16 pin board that has a very low audio problem with the internal speaker. When I turn it on (accessory connector in) the speaker audio is barely there.

I have an APX-6000 700-800 MHz. It has a pretty complex codeplug in it and I want to get it back to like when it was new. i.e. wipe the codeplug and have just a test channel in it. What is quickest way to do this? Maybe some master reset?

Thanks

radiocat37

Tried the push power button for turn on and nothing. What I was hoping for was some known problems or issues with a "no power on situation" beyond the ign sense and forgetting the powerbutton. I think one thing I need is a known good control head. I locate one and try that. But again all o...

radiocat37

I looked through past posts and checked voltage at pin 3 on ribbon cable. It was good on the head side.That is as far as I have been. I am knowledgeable to a point on many radios but the waris series I am not and I don't have a service manual. I just don't know from beyond that. So maybe some test p...

I did the ignition sense wire. That was one of the first things I did.

I have a CDM 1550 UHF 403-470 will not turn on. AAM25RKF9AA5AN. I am trying to fix for a friend. I have 12V power up to the control head on pin-3 ribbon cable connection but at a loss on where to go from here. Any advice on where to start or likely scenarios.

I got the software and the cable and everything was good, but was tuning it on my MFJ-949E; TX went high and then the TX went flat.

I have an MCS2000 VHF M01KHN9PW5AN and cannot find the correct version of software. I thought I had all of them. I tried 5.04 DOS and when read it says: codeplug too new. I try windows 2.04 and when read it says: use newest version of DOS. What version does this thing need??

Also when I press the scan button it ...

The radio has this locking handle-quick release type attachment (handle) to it, where a 2135 key fits in and releases and it slides up. . I just can't figure out what it attaches to. Thanks
