Thanks for all the help guys. This is a volunteer department and are a great group to work with .. They will be very glad they can get the communications coverage they need.

Again, thanks for all of your help , it is greatly appreciated.

JD

Yes, only bi directional, not uni directional.

JD

Store and forward, we have seen that, not what they want. What they need to do is transmit and receive on 154.xxxx and transmit and receive on 158.xxxx , they repeater does this in each direction. Called Telewave and they said it could be done. Thanks.

JD

They looked at that , but with the number of trucks , too cost prohibitive.

JD

Any one set up a VHF Bi Directional repeater. I have a rural Fire Department needing to increase portable coverage to dispatch. Do not have the funds to set up a receiver voting system. Thanks

JD

Has anyone had the following issues with a CDM VHF:
1.) On Mabas RED frequency, the transmit audio is distorted, unreadable, works great on all other frequencies.

2.) How do you get radio on power up to go to a designated channel ?

Thanks.

Pyramid SVR 200 ,

I have a mobil repeater connected to a CDM 1250. It uses the Discriminater , pin # 11, can I also connect the Sentraloc to the same pin without causing any loading problems. Thanks.

JD

Thanks Guys, I am glad to hear someone else has this problem.

JD

Any one seen this problem ? I have 2 customers who have the XTL 5000 VHF 50 watt mobils . Programmed to NB, now both have little or no range from truck to truck , per customer. These radios are at 2 different departments, same comnplaint.. Power is 45 watts, on frequency . Customers state other ...

JD

Any good after market speaker mics for the HT series, other tha Motorola ? Theirs are not lasting long.

Thanks.

JD

The software said that only fine tuning of the squelch is available , the master squelch level can only be done internally. Is there a pot in the radio, I can not find it in my service manual .

thanks.

JD

Thanks for the info.

JD

How do you set the master squelch setting in a 100 watt remote head MCS2000 ? I can find per channel the fine squelch setting.. We are switching over to narrow band, when we programmed the radio , half the channels had open squelch on them.

Thanks.

JD

Thanks for the help

JD

Scan function or the unit is set to only one ?

Thanks.

JD

Does Federal Signal have a 2 channel informer ? Is there another brand that would be 2 channels ?

Thanks.

JD

I will give that a try, thanks.

JD

Thanks for the help. That is what I was looking for.

JD

Does anyone have a schematic of the rapid charger for a CP200 portable ? I am trying to find a point that has + voltage on it until the radio is taken out of the charger and then goes to ground .

Thanks.

JD

Does any one have the AMP part number for the 16 pin accessory connector on the PCB board , on a CDM ,CM ,GM series radio.. I am needing it for a project and the AMP number to load into PCB design software.

Thanks.

JD

When you change channels via the UHF repeater with the remote channel selector board , the voice tells of the channel you are on, but it transmits it on both radios. We only want it on the UHF repeater .

JD

I have a VHF PM400 and a UHF SVR200 with RSC board. I only want to have the broadcast of a channel when changed on the UHF SVR repeater. Pyramid said it cannot be done, Has anyone tried this ?

Thanks.

JD

TK 8180 UHF aand TK 7180 VHF.. County wide dispatch system does not have a set plan yet, rumor they have to get money in budget for equipment.

RF GUy , thanks for the info. Dev is around 2.o on tones. Again called Kenwood, they are suspecting the wide UHF signal is causing the problem, they are ...

JD

Thanks, I am using Kenwood radios, found out today that Kenwood , when going to NB , you have to re align the radios , do not come from factory aligned for NB.. Would this be an issue with CDM 1250 radios ?. Glad to hear that wide to narrow is working. I use a HP8920a monitor, VHF NB radio shows 1.7 ...

JD

They ARE ALL THAT WAY, ABOT 40 OF THEM

JD

We have switched over Min v to narrow band VHF. The system has a UHF link wide band interfaced to a VHFnarrow band radio that passes the audio.. Problem is that the tones go off but the audio is terrible, this happens when tone is sent via the UHF or internally generated in the vhf radio. DEVIATION ...

JD

Radios were there choice, they tried them out and preferred them over others.

JD

I think they do, just bought 2 months ago and am using 5.16 software. I will call Motorola again.

JD

Any one know how to disable front keypad completely on a CP200 XLS. There is a key lock /unlock option on the side buttons, but when you turn radio off and then back on, you have to reset the option for key pad to be locked. Fire Department says this is unacceptable.

Thanks.

JD

CDM dead, I have 2 radios doing this. All voltages check out in the radio, 5 volt, 9 volt 12 volts. 5 volts at on off switch. Could it be the Y0101 crystal ? Can no longer talk to Motorola technician, $ 290 flat repair fee. Thanks.

JD

Neither has a serial port, using a USB adapter cable. Cm and CDM software both have same error message on the 32 bit Compaq. Tried with USB pugged in, still same message.

JD

I have 2 new laptops, Lenova and a Compaq. Neither one will work with the latest versions of Motorola software for the CDM and Cm\CP series. the programms will start and then get a message stating "No Componetn Found", then the programm closes. I have contacted Motorola and 1 person saif they will ...
