Thanks for the reply. I have never dealt with 9600 & 3600 baud in the same radio at the same time.

There are no 700 MHz freqs in the system for now, thank goodness, but some sites are rebanding. What is the newest HOST version the Astro Spectras?

Will an 800 Astro Spectra withe flashcode 5000080004800 follow a Type II Smartnet Omnilink 4.1 CAI system with digital and analog TGs as well as a P25 system and 800 analog conventional and P25 conventional?

I can't seem to find any detailed information regarding this. I have dealt with trunking ...

Jeff,
You may be able to figure these out by using audio software such as Audacity, or Cool Edit 96. IIRC, I used Cool Edit 96 to decode QCI in the past, unfortunately, CE 96 is hard to find now. If you want to send me a wav file, I'll take a look. Vernh911_at_ AOL_dot_com

Thanks Vern. I ...

I am trying to determine the old tone plan that was used in my county a while back. They used QCI to activate the sirens and Plectron tones for the pagers.

I have all of the pager tones figured out since they still bang those out with a Zetron 25, but I cann't remember which tone plan they used for ...

I received the A4 head I found and finally got a chance to test it today. The Spectra RSS wouldn't allow a change to the A4 head. I got it to work, but there was a little trick to it.

Thanks to all of those that helped me out.

The onfreq HLN6432 reference to (rotary) and (pushbutton) were from the original Motorola documentation. However, in reality it doesn't seem to matter and the jumper differences were actually between different revisions A, B and C of these boards. I see how it can be confusing. When I have some ...

scvfd1204

Thanks for clarifying that for me Will. Some of this stuff tends to confuse me these days...

scvfd1204

In some of my recent research, I think, from what I have seen/read, that when using an A4 rotary head with either an A5 or A7 spectra an interconnect board is needed for the volume pot to work correctly.

The remote interconnect board is the kit I have is an HLN 6432B. The onfreq spectra info site ...

Not trying to resurrect on old thread, but I saw these pictures and a few others online when I bought my 98 Mountaineer last year. The 14" Havis Consolidator fits perfectly, and the universal mounting brackets work great to secure it to the remainder of the factory console.

I have pics of mine as ...

scvfd1204

Thank you sir.

Now if I could just find an A4 head in excelletn shape, I'd be set then.

I already have the brackets for the console to hold the remote A5/7 heads..

Thanks again!!

scvfd1204

Will the HLN6432B remoute head housing that fits the Spectras A5 & A7 heads work with the A4 rotary head?

I need to do away with the A9 head in my console to fit more equipment in, and would love to go with an A4 head. I do have an A5 & A7 head, but don't want to use them unless I absolutely have ...

scvfd1204

Thanks for the reply.

OK on the microprocessor. Is this how many of the other sirens out there (Whelen, Carson, FedSig, etc) generate their tones?

Would love to replace the hi-lo with Whelen's "peircer" tone.

I have some vacation and sick time coming up, and I will definitely be looking for ...

scvfd1204

Does anyone out there know exactly what the HLN1185 amp uses to produce its siren tones?

I love the wail and yelp, but that Hi-Lo is not worth it.

I would love to find a way to generate the whelen or older SVP style "piercer" tone with this amp if possible.

Does this amp use the same style sound ...

I spent about 15 minutes on the phone with Parts ID on Friday and I now have the part number.

I have seen the many different style of thick surface NMO style mounts offered by MaxRad and others.

I used to have an antenna tuning sheet from MOT that had one listed for them with their part number, but I cannot find it for the life of me.

Do Motorola have a mount like this in their system? If ...

I am running a high power VHF A9 spectra with the HLN1185x siren amp box connected and everything is working correctly.

The DEK I have is a HLN1241C.

scvfd1204

I am trying to locate exactly what items are needed to connect a Siren/PA DEK to an A9 Spectra head, non-Astro.

I was trying to piece the info together from several sources of info on the net, and I am beginning to get confused.

What is the part number for the cable that connects from the VIP port ...

scvfd1204

I appreciate that. Both of those numbers are showing as available with MOL. I had about a 6 page cheat sheet I made up from the days when I worked in a MOT shop, but it has since disappeared, go figure.

I am still searching for the number of the small holders now. I remember getting them by the bag ...

scvfd1204

Does anyone happen to have the part numbers for the MOT fuseholders that use and long glass fuses similar to the ones that go inline for high power spectras?

Also, I am looking for a part number on the same style of fuse holder that takes the same diamater of fuse, but a slightly longer one.

scvfd1204

Thanks for the response.

Thats what I thought. I had tried using the radio alone to control the relays for bells and buzzers, but it would never act right.

At least with the tone decoder controlling the circuit, I would think it work work much better.

The BatBoards does it again.....

THANKS!!!!
