So doing this I have pin 4 with 13.5vdc normally and upon alert it reverts to .06 momentarily and that will trip the relay?

jban

Thought the thread could use a little life,

jban

I was hoping it would supply voltage upon activation

jban

Thanks. I did have set to low and one of them did drop to .06. The other stays at 13.5. Guess I will cull through them. Luckily I don't need this capability on all if them

jban

Did that to my 2016 Expedition on the rear. Stacked two Fenix sticks with simple "L" brackets and fit between the factory luggage rails. Routed the wires by drilling a hole in the inside end of the rail support and dropped into the cabin. A little silicon around the outside hole and done. ...

Found a bunch of CDM1250 in our surplus pile. Want to set them up for station alerting (that part is no problem). I am however, having the same problem on pin 4. It puts out 13.5vdc all the time. Firmware is R05.05.22. Radios shows June 2007. Is it a firmware issue? I would like to trip a relay and ...

jban

Thank you for the help. All programmed up now

jban

I believe so. Will work on it tomorrow. Thank you for the assistance and information

jban

Thanks

jban

Not familiar with that. Can you please provide steps

jban

I had given the control heads names in CPS. Will try defaluts CH 1 & 2. I will also disconnect the ign on CH 2 and see how that works.

While I am at it. This is being set up for a station base. Can I still pull line level audio off the accessory connector?

Thanks

Trying to set up a RM XTL2500 with two 05 heads. Having trouble getting both heads to come up. With 1 head I can go in and program for dual head setup (setting both heads active) and it loads. Upon reboot it flashes "missing channel" and goes to channel 1 (only have 2 channels loaded until...

jban

Searched the Board and can't seem to locate a pinout for the RSM modular connector for the XTS2500/5K. Could also use the pinout for the quick side connector (forgot the name). Any healp appreciated

jban

Much appreciated.

jban

Hope I finally got to the correct forum. If not, I do apologize.

I just need to know what the most recent CPS version and part number are for the XTS/XTL radios. Need to order from MOL.

Thank folks.

BK's widely used in AZ because of USFS interface needs. They work well for the forestry side. I personally did not care for them but for disaster or large scale operations they are easy to clone. If using in the fire service world...not a big fan.

jban

I am curious how to wire it into a pa amp as well. Can you get line level audio off teh charger amp or ?

jban

Thanks

jban

We have 2 XTL5K's that are stuck in service mode. How can I fix this?

jban

My VFD is thinking about field testing one. Just was not sure about compatibility with our Moto system. We are tied into the Austin, Tx regional trunk

jban

Any feedback on the new EF Johnson Viking VP600 800 radios and if they work with a Motorola P25 digital trunk?

jban

Thanks for the tips guys. Now we get to learn a whole new radio. I had enough trouble teaching them about the XTS2500.

jban

Well, honestly, I do have to brag a bit. This was a total surprise and we are extremely greatful. On the question side, does anyone have tips/issues with the radios we may need to know about (other than the lime green will never lose the radio case). How well does the multi-band feature function?

jban

They were donated by Motorola

jban

My VFD is fortunante enough to be recieving a butt load of new APX7000EX. Only held one for a few minutes and now waiting for the shipment to arrive. A very nice Christmas present.

jban

I programmed it a couple years ago and yes it was secure equipped. I did not enable the secure features that I recall. I have not had the opportunity to put hands on the radio as of yet.

jban

friend of mine reported that his Astro Saber III is displaying an error message "error 9/10". Any info out there? He stated it was working fine, set it down and came back to the error. He did the on/off and remove the battery thing but no resolve. Any help appreciated. This is a VHF model ...

jban

It also seems that listed UHF equipment (ie..CDM, HT, etc) on the Board don't move very fast either. Just made me wonder why UHF would be less popular since I know there are still alot of UHF systems out there. Curious!

jban

Been on this board for awhile and have learned quite a bit, Thanks to everyone for that.

My question: I notice on the for sale forum that UHF equipment seems to be unpopular as compaired to VHF. Why is this? What is happening to the UHF band? Like I said I am just curious. Thoughts!!

jban

Thanks for all the posts. We were lucky to obtain 6 Quantars from recent State Surplus. Good news they are also NB & P25. So we will be back on the air with a Quantar once it is programmed (nice to have spares as well). STILL want to find the persons responsible for "borrowing" a publi...

jban

OK we have the opportunity to pick up 4 Quantars in range 2 from the State. Will all Quantars do Narrow Band or what flash code do I need to look for?

jban

Thanks for watching out, we greatly appreciate it. I found out there is a swap meet coming up in Smithville, TX, I believe May 8. I will try to make that and look around. You never know!

jban

Thanks

jban

Awwwwww. they had to stand in 90 degree weather for 2 hours. That is a cool day in Texas.

jban

Folks, some low life(s) ransacked a radio shack housing our repeater serving the Southwest sector of Bastrop County, TX. The repeater, a Motorola Quantar (serial # 509CHF1625), 125 W, VHF with cabinet was taken. They left the 6 can duplexer. Also taken was a desktop Motorola repeater and Henry PA (D...

jban

Never had that happen

jban

Could I utilize a UHF stubby on an 800 portable and vice-versa in reality without damage. Talking about HT1000/XTS2500. The length should be close or not?

Like I said, just curious

jban

They will wsap in the field but won't drop in the charger. At least all the HT1250 batteries we have will not fit into an IMPRESS or XTS2500 desk charger

jban

In my county, due to the migration to 800, the radio shop aquired a boatload of HT1000 & MT2000 vhf units. The jail system is still on VHf and has been using the HT750 for several years with poor durability. Radio techs started sending the surplus HT & MT units to the jail, no more problems....

jban

I converted 10 travel chargers for the HT1250 to direct wire. They have been in service continually for the last 4 years with no incident. I purchased the same charger for the XTS2500. They look to be the same but anyway here is what I did. Went to Radio Shack and purchased some small project boxes ...

jban

Thanks for the response. All radios were purchased at the same time and are flashed the same. I also have one that I went to update the codeplug and now it will take the codeplug (same as all the others) but no buttons or knobs will function. Will only stay on the powered up channel. They are all ab...

Have 14 XTL1500 800mhz units in service on a moto Type II analog system. These radios are set up with emergency ID. All mobiles are set up to follow ignition on/off. Problem occuring on some of the radios is as follows: If the radio is physically turned off and the ignition is turned on, the radio w...

My PowerProducts BP4593LI is 2 inches high to the mark and has worked flawlessly.

jban

I bought one of the Cutrate batteries. Tom is right, 2 inches high. Great battery, left the radio in the truck for about 2 weeks. Poped in Impress charger and had red light for about 5 minutes. It was still full charge.

jban

What buttons do you actually need? I have a box full of assorted one. PM me

jban

I'm certainly no expert but I had the same tinny audio when I set the audio to "Companding" mode. Changed it to normal and problem was solved. Just a thought!

jban

thanks

jban

thanks. Found a owners manual and it shows I need adapter # 5887135S01 to charge li-ion AS batteries. Are the contacts different or something

jban

Can you use an Impress charger on these?

jban

Had a couple guys PM with assistance. I greatly appreciate all the responses.
