Anyone know the programming cable schematic for a Gaitronics IPE2500A?

KuhnElectronics

for some reason it isnt taking those freq's...

and entering 9971 , ect doesnt do any good because there needs to be a leading digit setup, but for what tone groups?

KuhnElectronics

That is great, but for some reason Zetron will not let me put a number in for a custom call such as:
602.6hz

or 6026 or 06026...

it will let me go as far as 602

KuhnElectronics

Need to put in some all-call pages for a dispatch center I just switched from a CentraCom II to a Zetron 4048.

I am working with the following cap codes:

Y155
Y177
Y122
Y199
Y244

And for some reason I am consfusing the crap out of myself trying to program these in.

Can anyone convert these for ...

KuhnElectronics

Just got a few of these in. Already having problems with them.

On our community repeater they will not decode DPL from MTR2000 with a model 38-MAX Repeater Panel.

Also we have had problems getting them to open up for the newer General Dynamics SVC MON's...

I have literally cranked the deviation ...

KuhnElectronics

Started interfacing some phones into Zetron Headset Interface boxes and noticed that it is loading the mic audio level down pretty noticeable if you pick up the handset..earpiece doesnt seem so bad.

Any workaround for this or are they going to have to just deal with it?

Mod's, first off let me say that I cannot remember if there is a rule about posting in the forum about Kenwoods and if there is PLEASE remove this post and accept my apologies..

I have a fire department that currently has an engine with a VHF TK-790H. The control head is mounted in an overhead ...

Looking to get a MTR2000 VHF down into the ham band for a buddy of mine....

Any hacks besides changing the PA deck...

He realizes that he will lose performance and that really isnt that big of deal, just tryna get it down that far...

any ideas?

KuhnElectronics

Ok, I am in the process of installing a 4048.

After doing all RX input alignments and level sets I get a CRAP load of audio at the 4217B panel....

Even if the Sel / Un-Sel knobs are only cracked open a 1/16 or something.... There seems to be no linear response to these volume controls...and no ...

KuhnElectronics

Einstein,

How much you looking to get out of that Sinadder 5 you have?

I am in NEED of one soon!

Thanks,

Nick

KuhnElectronics

At our shops we use Helper Instruments Sinadder 3's which work really well. Just a few days ago the meter movement in one of ours quit, and for some reason we cannot find anyone who can service these or even sells one new..

I know alot of shops use these, at least around this area...but what is ...

KuhnElectronics

yeh sounds good!

KuhnElectronics

hey, thanks....quick reply!

yeah, i am looking for something SORTA like that...

I seen these before that actually look like a punch block and you could enter text in where the actual punches would be, and then the number to the side like it is on an actual block...

i know...sounds kinda stupid ...

KuhnElectronics

I have kind of a weird request.

I am looking for (and cant find anywhere) a word document, excell, or similiar file with a blank punch block on it. I have seen people document on these before by typing stuff instead of written, but I cant seem to find them anywhere...

I was wondering if maybe ...

KuhnElectronics

I thought this would be more of a common problem, but I guess the majority of PSAPs are not using these type of phone systems....

I dont have any donor phones laying around for this system...

and the phone location is pretty far now, so I am a little concerned with throwing a coil on the line ...

KuhnElectronics

Thanks for the input!

The Main/Standby feature is located on the individual channel in the RDPS programming. There is a bubble that says GENERAL or MAIN/STANDBY. By Clicking this it not only gives you a visual on the individual channel on the touch screen, but also the ability to change it to ...

yes, i do believe you insulted the mongolians...lol

anyways, the voter is a doug hall, and i am a jps guy all the way...i have barely messed with a doug hall...so i am not sure of its capabilities but i am sure force select is one...

I need to pull an off hook condition from a Iwatsu Omega phone by Adix...

I called our phone reps and they said it cant be done, other than at the trunks, but I need to do this on a per position basis for a console.....

They said we need to NOT use digital phones, but at this point it isnt an ...

KuhnElectronics

Ok, this is going to be a pretty long post, so if you need to grab a cup of coffee or something, better do it now...

I have a customer currently with a Centracom II Console with (get ready for this....) 11 channels simplex on the same freq....ok...these sites are currently voted to provide the best ...

KuhnElectronics

Ok,

I see what you are saying, however (and I am not sitting in front of the RDPS to navigate my way through) when I go to the card setup (where you input function tones, ect) there is a selection next to the label that says "Intercom" channel; when checked, you lose all programming parameters ...

KuhnElectronics

Thanks for all the input.

Called Tech Support today, and just as usual got the superb service you spoke about previously.

They highly reccomend this LE-D model because it is inexpensive and very rugged.

It has an internal audio amp, and they reccommend running the channel in LOCAL mode, even ...

KuhnElectronics

I am installing my first 4048 series console this month.

I have everything setup in the shop, and everything has been going pretty smooth...

I have one question however... The customer wants an intercom box at the front door...and Zetron reccommends the Aiphone LE-D model call station...

I ...

KuhnElectronics

I just took over a service area that has a Harris Microwave System that is monitored by NetBoss's Fault Managment System.

This week something in that system changed or someone screwed with it because now when they get a text alert indicating an DVA alarm, ect such as Door Open or High Temp they get ...

I have been studying for my CET that I am being required to take in January...

I have been using ETA's study exam, and also a program our shops gave us that splits it into sections and stuff...

does anyone have any tips, or study hints to help me ace this test...

seems like memorizing formulas ...

KuhnElectronics

Ok, a few years ago, we had two squads role in with DTMF mics on VHF Maratracs.

For some reason the mic's had to be mod'd for I think it was PTT or something...cant recall...

They also had a problem with low modulation on the mic, which we was going to address after the DTMF PTT mod on the mic ...

KuhnElectronics

Moderators, I know this is off topic...but I am in quite a predicament...on a non moto product...

we took over a customer with an Orbacom Console and we know ABSOLUTELY nothing about it...and until we get someone in a class, their tech support will not even speak to us...

please PM me....

KuhnElectronics

yeh, the best i could do was get them to go to remote ericssons...

customer does their own striping...imagine that...lol

and started a slicktop the other day, and got pulled to start console upgrade...so i havent got to see it yet..

KuhnElectronics

i have a cabinent on the inside of my truck...and all of my cables are inside the compact palm microphone boxes...i just had a couple guys save theirs when they go do a swap out or a new sale or something...

everything fits, except the SP50 jig and its in a external speaker box...

then i just ...

KuhnElectronics

such a pretty car, and all those crappy reused radios going into it...it's a travesty.

Yeah, I know it sucks, especially the Ericcson radio that sticks out almost as much as the armrest...lol

luckily we talked them into getting remote head kits for the next ones...

not sure about the size of ...

KuhnElectronics

where does the whelen go?

i did a federal that went on the driver side down in the bumper and it was a pain!

i have noticed that federal has been real good @ not giving you ALL the directions when you buy a custom bracket...

KuhnElectronics

Did my first install today on a new Charger.

Check out the pics:

Some comments:

I think I went into the install with a bad attitude thinking that this install was going to be a pain, and that I would have all of these nightmare problems that I have ...

KuhnElectronics

thanks for all of the help guys, but i cant seem to find it anywhere but places that sell CB's and antennas...

JackHackett,

this is a totally weird connector...i have many of the ones you posted the part number for, but sometimes i find those difficult to get on or off on maratrac drawers...

KuhnElectronics

i cant find these in tessco...

who makes them?

i would love to have a few...

i freaking suck at soldering on 259's...i can do any other connector in my sleep, but i still manage to short these things out every once and a while...

KuhnElectronics

I was tearing a console apart the other day in a cruiser and was disconnecting some coax and noticed a PL259 connector screwed on to maybe a scanner or CB, cant remember...

anyways, it looked a little different because it didnt seem to have the center conductor soldered as usual...so i went to ...

KuhnElectronics

all of my test jumpers are made from the RG142 and i havent had any problems with it...

hey, i found it on my laptop..i will mail it to ya when i get back in the office monday...

its the closest label i can find...

i used it yesterday and had to do some trimming, but it made it look so better in the end...

-nick

KuhnElectronics

do agree...simulcasting solutions is who we use for guidance when we set our 2 or 3 systems up in this area....

KuhnElectronics

Once a upon a time i had a template i think in word or maybe excel for the labels for a model 25 encoder....

i cant find it anywhere...

anyone have something similiar?

if so ...email it to me [email protected]

thanks!

KuhnElectronics

hahah...even better...today we got back a CDM1550+LS that was powering on and off by itself...

returned with a new main board...and a new control head!

Thanks El'Paso for sending my heatsink back!

KuhnElectronics

we are using leased line....

i wouldnt think that anyone would crank on the volume knob, but i dont wanna be the one running the service call at 3am because of a crap load of overmod...

so, the volume control pot, is it variying speaker output or audio amp input?

basically what i am asking is if ...

KuhnElectronics

i have not opened a case with moto...

i was going to look into it further...but got busy with other things....

but yea, pm me the details...

KuhnElectronics

well i was drinking a can of pepsi, and poured the whole can into my keyboard....worst of all...it was my laptop...

no pop got into the actual CPU....everything else was dry...

i cleaned it up as much as possible...but i lost my shift, A, control, alt, and my spacebar sometimes...

someone told me ...

FYI

had a cdm750 do the same exact thing...

to a trip to the depot...came back with NO TROUBLE FOUND....but mysteriously the problem went away...

thank you El'Paso!

Looking for a remote to control a trunking (CDM1550+LS) radio as a control point on a zetron console...

KuhnElectronics

KuhnElectronics

i swapped cards around with no luck...cimmarron still wouldnt decode ....so i know it looks to be a radio issue...

i know its going to be a 4000 series, and i am pretty sure they will be doing a 4020...where is the option for this delay?

also, if anyone knows...what is "mic delay eliminator" in the 4010 software under audio options?

KuhnElectronics

yeh that may be sorta tricky keeping the base station keyed while delayed audio is going out since the llgt wont be present for all of the transmission...

now the dispatchers will be "end-clipping" themselves....

they are just going to have to get used to waiting a second or so before they speak ...
