On the Motorola Rubber Portable Radio antennas is there a way to easily check if they are UHF or VHF if there are no markings or part numbers on them? I see some with a small dimple with red in it, others the inside base of the antenna is white or red. Thanks in advance for your help.

Is there a way to have the XTS-3000 tune into the last channel selected? Once I turn it off and turn it back on it always defaults to Zone 1 Channel 1 and always starts in the scan mode, even though none of the scan zones are checked to scan automatically. Thanks in advance for the help.

The Comish

Thanks for all your help...programmed to 469.99375 and it works well.

I have an xts3000 UHF Model 450 MHZ to 520 MHZ. I need to program the frequency 469.9925 into the radio, but it comes up with the red error in the software and will not accept that frequency input. I appears to only accept 499.9000, 469.99375,and 469.99500. Is there a way to get the software to acce...

Is there a way in the CPS to change the audio settings for the internal microphone? When speaking into the microphone my voice sounds distant on the other end, even though I am 4 to 5 inches away from the radio. Just to clarify I am only using the radio microphone, I do not have a speaker microphone...

Thanks for the suggestions will follow through with the install this weekend...I appreciate your help

I am looking to add some radios to a UC vehicle which is a 2015 Ford Explorer, non police package. Is there power accessory points in the right kick panel area? Looking to tap the power from the inside of the vehicle so we don't have to drill through the firewall. (Lease vehicle). Any help on color ...

This works thanks very much for the chart.

I have a Larsen 3db gain mobile antenna with a spring. I need to trim the whip to 470 mhz. Can anyone tell me what the length of the whip should be and does that length include that spring? Thank you.

The Comish

Yes this is a one frequency unit.

I want to create a softer alert tone for when I am off duty and at home vs the louder alert tone when I am at work. Here are the settings that I am considering and want to know if it will work? I like many are confused by the on\off duty check box and what it really does. For work my SW-1 is set to ...

Can someone tell me what the latest version of the Professional Series CPS is? Is it still available from Motorola? Thanks

The Comish

I want to reprogram an HT 1250 for a project and don't want to spend a bunch of money. I have an astro style cable and Motorola professional series software...Will this work?

The Comish

Hosting is above R08 Radio is not scanning CDM 1250 sitting next to the portable receives the pages correctly. So I am assuming the transmitting radio has the limits set correctly. Squelch set to 1 ( tried a variety of settings here...back at 1) Thanks for the replies so far...still looking for that...

I have an XTS 5000 and an XTS 1500 radio and I am running into problems with the radio NOT unmuting when it received QC II tones. I have programmed serveral different types of radios and pagers and have never come across the issue at hand. Since the programming is the same for both radios I will giv...

I have not had any luck searching the forum and would like to know the difference between Select Call and Call Alert. Which one is best to use to receive a page on the radio?

The Comish

Thanks for the info will check it out...

I need to program an older style Radius Mobile Radio. Will the Professional CPS that I have for the CDM's work? If not what CPS do I need. Thx

Thanks Fred, we did try them and they do not make and extended console with an arm rest...and we need the locking one.

But I appreciate your suggestion

We are getting new Crown Vics for our Admin people and they come with bucket seats. I am looking for a console that will hold two radios, siren, cup holders, and the most important piece an arm rest that sits on top of a locked console/box. I have seen one for a Admin Charger but not at Crown Vic. A...

The Comish

I would be interested in the pics when you get a chance...thanks

The Comish

Looking at the owners manual that comes with the charger it does say that it will act as a battery eliminator as well as charge the battery...and from the looks of the cig plug there is definately some circuitry in there. I am just guessing here but it would seem that one set of wires would be for c...

The Comish

I think the first issue is you cant go from 10 pins to 8. If you like the look and feel of the Spectra Mic find a maxtac mic Part # HMN1056D. They are a little smaller in size but work great. $20 bucks on fleabay http://cgi.ebay.com/MOTOROLA-HMN1056D-COMPACT-MICROPHONE-MARATRAC-7-FT_W0QQitemZ3701821...

The Comish

Yes you can do it and it works fine from the LISTS as mentioned in this post. I have several programmed this way. You can send me a code plug and what you want I will set up a sample for you. Otherwise I will post instructions when I have some spare time but it may take a bit.

The Comish

I built the MIC VERSION and it works great. This is the way to go in my opinion because programming is simple through the front of the radio. Not hard to build either. Good Luck.

The Comish

Does anyone have a schematic or instructions on how to build a small speaker capable of being used for testing siren units. I want to build one so that I can bench test several units that are going out of service and don't want the full volume of the units Any help on this is appreciated.

The Comish

Thanks for the part number I will check this out...

The Comish

I want to be able to use a Motorola Spectra sytle microphone on a CDM1250. Does anyone have a schematic on how I can make this work by changing the jack on the end or taking a CDM Mic cord and attaching it to the Spectra Mic Head... or know of any other simple solution?

The Comish

I was thinking of replacing my old strobes with these...is it my understanding that putting them in the holes already cut out for the strobes, which of course was in the bottom of the headlight assembly, would not make them as effective as they could be? I was also thinking of cheating a little and ...

Has anyone out there installed or used one of these Whelen Handheld Siren devices...we are looking at installing them in some undercover vehicles where room is limited.

We have the SoundOff Ghost Lights Glued into the grills of our Chevy Impala's as there was no way to secure them with any type of fastner. The installers used "Black" glue and a hot glue gun, formed the bead around the light head and set them in. They have never even moved and have been in...

The Comish

Thank you for the replies...My post was to generic so I apologize. I want to know how to adjust the "PA VOLUME" as I need it a little louder on the frwy.

So any help on adjusting the PA VOLUME would be appreciated.

The Comish

Does anyone know if the volume on a Smart Siren SS2000 can be increased. It all functions fine and the volume is good for surface streets but it needs to be louder for the freeway. Speaker is 100W so it should handle it. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

The Comish

I have a XTS5000 Model III radio with the full keypad. I don't use the keypad and want to just swap the case with a model II case. Will this work without damaging the radio?

The Comish

I met with the local representatives from Dodge this week. It seems that the factory 24 pin accessory module that controls the park/kill headlight flashing and rear light flashing and other features in the 2008 module are experiencing some failures. This is a factory problem and not a problem with a...

The Comish

The actual part from Dodge. Sean check your email.

The Comish

We have had the siren fail at least three times on a 2007 Charger. I am told that it has to do with the factory connection module that they have replaced. Is there a way to bypass this? I am assuming it has to do with the park kill function. We are using TM4's as a controller. Is there a simple way ...

The Comish

Thanks to all for your help...used the HT1000 program I had this morning and it all worked out fine.

The Comish

From what I have been able to find it looks like the Visar can be programmed with the HT1000 software. Can anyone confirm that for sure. Any help is appreciated Thank you

The Comish

Thanks Jim...it did.

Does anyone know if a CDM series microphone will work on a MCS 2000?

The Comish

Thanks to all for your help...

The Comish

Does anyone have a part number for the programming cable? Thanks

The Comish

Thank you for the software information...will I need seperate programming cable or will the CDM programming cable work?

The Comish

Does the MCS 2000 take a different software than the CDM Radios? I have the professional radio software but can not read the radio.

The Comish

Can you tell what features are in the minitor IV by the model number? If so is there a break down list available. I could not find anything via the search feature.
