Thanks everyone for your replies! I t*think* I have gotten to the heart of the issue. The radio I am trying this on is a XTS3000 which I bought used and it had the ADP flash added to it at some point. From some research I have done, it seems that Astro Saber and XTS3000 may not be able to support ...

KD6MHO

Ah, thanks Ben and tvsjr. Ben, yes I do have the ADP feature. I DO NOT have the UCM however. My understanding is that you don't need a UCM to do software encryption, though you CAN get it as a feature on the UCM if you want to use hard key loading for ADP.

KD6MHO

I have a couple Motorola Radios with the ADP (Software Encryption) multikey featured installed. I can check the box, generate the 4-digit HEX keys, and configure the secure mode. I have played around with everything including the Sw slot and key slot assignments (0 to 0, 1 to 1, etc.) and for the ...

KD6MHO

Thanks! So the Receiver settings (deviation level) determines the TX levels as well...good to know! I'll try that . I Did set one of my commercial radios to narrow and it didn't seem to make a difference but I'll try it with some others. Either way I thik we'll switch from 12.5 - 15Khz spacing ...

We are using a 25W Quantar as our HAM repeater in Dual mode, also in scanning receiver mode allowing for the standard input and an alternate. CH1 receives and transmits on the same PL, CH2 receives with a DPL and transmits with a PL. Both CH1 and CH2 have Multi-Nac enabled. Most of the group uses ...

Greetings,

I am looking for a MTX9000 B5 CODEPLUG (NOT RSS for those about to get concerned) authored in RSS Ver R06.00.0 or below to help get around a "codeplug too new" issue. I have several I am trying to get programmed into the HAM band and need a workable CP. Please e-mail me at k-d-6-M-H-O ...

KD6MHO

No problem, my bad for using "CP" as an abbreviation. I am so used to using the term "RSS" to refer to programming software that I did not even think how easily "CP" could be confused with "CPS".

KD6MHO

Yes, "CP" in common usage on the Batboard means "Codeplug" NOT RSS. If one were looking for RSS the radio version (B3, B5, B7) or model (8000, 9000 or MTS) would not be of significance, but in a Codeplug, it is VERY important. Typically, if one were looking for RSS they say "RSS" or "Radio Service ...

I am looking for a MTSX8000 B3 CP, no display..model B3AN. Preferrably authored in RSS version 06.0.00 or below for an old MTSX I am trying to restore. If anyone can help, please e-mail me at [email protected]

Thank you!

KD6MHO

Can anyone help me? I need a codeplug for a CDM 1550 LS, Model #AAM25SKF9DU5AN. I have a used radio I'd like to program so I can use it...but of course...the CP is password protected! Any assistance would br greatly appreciated! I am running ver 06.04.00 RSS

Thank you!

Analog..........and I will check the pre-de audio settings....( I am new to the XTS series.....U know off hand which menu it's under?)

Thank you for your reply!

I am trying to figure out why the audio is so tinny (sounds like HT750 audio) on a 800 Trunked XTS5000R. I have played with the settings in the audio section and the channel spacing but no luck.... any suggestions?

Thank you!
AB

KD6MHO

Hummm.I think I will. In the meantime I have a "good" GM300 that is the 10w model. I will swap radios and see what happens! Thankks for the reply!

KD6MHO

I just had the Maxtrac transmitter in my Desktrac repeater replaced. Afer about 5-6 min of exchanges in air traffic the PA simply SHUTS OFF. (Not gradual decrease in power) When it sits for awhile or if the radio is turned off then back on again immediately it is back up to full power.

I have one ...

KD6MHO

Thanks again for the responses. Another friend of mine decided to buy the radio (not the first guy who passed on it) and he says that it programmed up fine with the standard "R" version RSS, even though the serial was 123ABC1234. Maybe it WAS a "made up" serial number from the guy who built it and ...

KD6MHO

Of course...there was only one channel programmed in the radio

It simply read "CHAN 1" on the display (along of course with the clock...etc.) which is another reason it seemed somewhat likely that it was one of the alleged "Alpha" radios.

KD6MHO

A friend of mine was looking for a XTS5000 radio. He found one but the serial number was 123ABC1234. I recognized this as an "alpha series" radio as outlined in r0f's Astro guide for newbies that should be avoided.

The guy selling the radio said it was a "parts" radio and that is why the serial ...

KD6MHO

Will,

I might take you up on that offer to go through the repeater for me. If you can e-mail me with details and the city where you are located that would be good.

KD6MHO

Thank you all so much for the replies! I will be taking it in soon and see what the "shop" says. I will let you guys know if I hear any other details when I take it to get tuned up. This board is awesome...keep up the good work!

Brake parts cleaner..from your local auto parts place. That stuff will take off almost ANYTHING if it does not eat what you are trying to clean!

KD6MHO

I just acquired a UHF "analog" MSF 5000. It is the internally duplexed model with the phasing harness. I was "told" this was a functioning repeater removed from service to be replaced by a new Quantaur. I am planning on taking it to a Motorola Shop to get programmed since I obviously do not have the ...

KD6MHO

Thanks! If you could send me the info on the place where you got it tuned that wouold be great!

KD6MHO

I'll check that out George...thanks for the response!

KD6MHO

Here is the scenario...

I have two Astro Saber III's. They have the same flashcode. One was cloned from the other, so they have the same codeplug minus individual ID's. I will call them radio #1 and radio #2.

They both receive ASTRO Digital transmissions (from LAPD) in Digital CSQ mode. Here is ...

Well sure, you're going to hear conversation if you are listening to the voice channels, but you are obviously not monitoring in trunking mode...you will hear anything and everything that comes down the pipe on the pair. That's just it, you are not trunking so to speak without any way of ...

KD6MHO

Oh, I thought you meant Sabers...I mean my SABER is an IMBE and will encode MODAT.

KD6MHO

YOu need to be in programming mode. Once you set your parameters, you hold the light button for 3 seconds. The screen will then flash "Pch01"..."02", etc. You need to rotate the knob to the desired channel (1-20)and then push the light button againmomentarily, this will write the data you entered in ...

KD6MHO

Like the other gentleman said, you just set receive PL to "000" and your transmit PL to whatever you need (let's say 007) When you close PTT, it will display the "CTCSS" icon on transmit, but not receive. Another EASIER way is to simply press the "a" button in normal operating mode, this turns PL ...

KD6MHO

Is the system U want to listen to Digital? (Why are you using an ASTRO Saber if it's analog...seems like a STX, MTS2000, Modified MTX9000 would be a better solution) If if is Digital trunked, you've got me how to program it. If it is a regular SMARTZONE system, you need RSS with the FTP Hardware Key ...

KD6MHO

Very cool! I am glad that there is a way around it and I am sure I won't be the only one glad to hear that there is a fix for it! Looking forward to hearing how it's done. And I am also glad to hear that I am not alone with this problem!

KD6MHO

I saw in a previous post that IMBE radios do not support MODAT. I have a IMBE Astro Saber that has it as one of the features in the flashcode,and the radio encodes MODAT. Not that I am saying anyone is wrong, but just an observation, and yes, it IS an IMBE radio not VSLEP. And LAPD has stopped using ...

I should also add that the buzz is heard whenever carrier is present and MDC receive is selected, whether or not the received signal has a MDC packet with it or not.

KD6MHO

I have noticed a VERY ANNOYING buzz on high volume receive audio on the HT1250 when MDC receive is active. I have noticed that changing channel spacing to a wider setting (from 12.5 to 25khz) in each personality makes a difference in the wider the spacing the less the buzz. I have also noticed less ...

Souther Cal.
Lots of agencies on 800 use STX HT's (old) and are moving to MTS2000's. Specrtas for mobile.

Agencies on UHF generally use Sabers (Long Beach, Riverside, Los Angeles) or HT1000, with XTS3000's being phased in.

Smaller departments often use GP300's, P200's (old)

Dan,
I happen to own a MRTI and there are a limited amount of parameters that can be changed by a user. This is done by jumping some pins on the board and using a DTMF telephone to toggle features on and off, and make settings. You can e-mail me for details.
