Ok the first list was just 0001h - DEEEh. I did not realize you could not have a F in any ID. So this new list is 0001h - DEEE and none of the IDs have a F. Question when you say no ID can start with E or F, is 0E00 valid? This list includes those. http://fire-dept.org/~drein00/hex_list2.xls Dylan ...

playing around a bit with my xts2500... it seems that it ALLOWED me to enter Exxx as a MDC ID...

currently mysetup is made up of a Minitor 2 pager, connected with some magic to the mic connector of a CDM1550... can i set the radio ID to Exxx, to make a group call?

libuff

it IS a requirement for Most others (non-adp, Ex: DVL, DVI, DES) secure systems to have an external KVL.

libuff

i sorta remember their being an issue because the XTL doesn't have a COR out... Also, double vocoding is a bad thing.. that is... decoding audio from dig to analog, then analog to dig, that is just messy...

libuff

forgot the 0000h.. you are correct

libuff

just to add to this discussion... after participating and experimentating with the DVRS discussion on the astro board... and trying to listen on an Analog scanner, the data produced by DVRS to identify the radio, sounds EXACTLY like what the FDNY portables sound like in NYC. In Fact, i am quite sure...

So here is an excel sheet with hex 0001 - DEEE http://fire-dept.org/~drein00/hex_list.xls

Later

problem with this list, is that it includes F in MANY of the id's... you CANNOT use F in any digit, or E in the first digit.

47250 is D*E*E*E

im haivn the same problem... first i thought i wasn't hitting the repeater... now i think it may be my setup or the repeater on the other hand... as for the dvrs on analog, while i don't have FPP, i enabled Mixed Mode receive and analog transmit, on a simplex, it seems to kerchunk the simplex, chann...

sorry to dredge up an old topic, but i'd figured its better than starting a new one... want to decode a MDC signal with a variable in it... one of my employeers has a unique radio ideification scheme, their members have ###x where the #'s are their ideitifer, and the X is a certification code. i kno...

libuff

did i hear this correctly? Triple beeps on analog channels?

now by mixed mode, what is your TX mode?

libuff

can someone give me clarification on this subject of DVRS... So, if i have an ASTRO repeater which i used to utilize w/o DVRS, and enable DVRS, it will give me the triple beep as if it were a trunking system, but still work the same? it seems to try to affiliate with the system (as my monitor seems ...

we've discussed this way prior in the board... is this specific to the FDNY tone set? some TPS options are available w/o the FDNY tone set flash..

Hey all, i hate to re-open old topics/wounds, last discussion ended up suggesting that i went to the county dispatcher and telling them how to do their job, can't do... trying to setup a module to xmit a group call upon receipt of a trigger. we currently have a modidified Minitor 2 amp pager base, w...

whats the opinion of moto cables, when they fail? i pay >$1000 for a xts2500, then need to spring $250+ for a programming cable, only to have it fail, now have to pay another $250+ for another cable...

Happy new year to all. I cannot figure out why I get squelch tail while in scan only. no problem when monitoring single channel. what am I missing? ALSO, I'm about to recase my HT1550xls, I once heard that silicone grease should be used on the seals prior to installation. any thoughts? thanks- John...

libuff

take off the case, remove all UHF electronics, replace with the electronics from a VHF radio, re-power... about the only way easily feasible to make the modification...

you would need to do some serious modifications...

got my NNTN7335A, while my belt doesn't droop as much as with my 9857 batt, im still quite dissapointed.. my question, and reason for re-opeining this topic... Why doesn't the HNN9013DR battery have issues fitting into the IMPRES 2500 charger, is it a minute design issue that could be fixed with a r...

libuff

So has anyone tried voice inversion on digital? i think the general consensus is, it wount work.. the vocoder doesn't just blindly code voice, it compares it to a know type of sound, voice, as opposed to sirens, air conditioning, wind, etc.. im not exactly sure what IMBE filters out, but i do know,...

ok, update... 1st of all, my mac isn't using emulation, newer macs have intel pentium core duo chips, and can run microsoft windows natively. i wouldn't try this in emulation mode.. 2ndly... i tried to install the cps on my work computer, its a pc with windows xp sp2, with a true serial port, i've t...

libuff

whats the mod # of the cps for astro 25 portables?

libuff

yeah to restate, prior to CPS10, the FPP portables were limited to 240 total, now u can go to the 512 or 850, but the first 240 is FPP, others are not. the issue, which im not sure if they fixed was the fact that they locked every fpp channel to MDC personality 1, Astro Personality 1, etc. you could...

geeze, i've really be able to get things go so far with this... i have programmed MULTIPLE radios with the USB to Serial adapter, just randomly stopped working... i am programming XTS-2500's with it. although i can't spend the cash on the usb cable, the OEM serial one was a gift. i am using a Mac Bo...

older firmwares do this, newer go to a "programming" mode instead... i have two generations of MTS2000's, first gen do the 1csq, newer ones say "PROGM"

whats the capacity?

are you talking about in digital mode or analog?

im not sure DTMF would work over digital to make a phone patch work, although im no expert on the subject.

I was trying to figure out the specs on this FlashCode option. It is pretty obvious what it pertains to, but does anyone know what is involved with its usage?

1. Does the power up tone only come out of the radio spkr and not the RSM? 2. I am trying to program the keypad lock to also lock the rotary lock.

i had the same prob on my fw9 cps10 xts2500. same issues, Astro 1, MDC 1, etc... but once you program any channels OVER your 240 FPP channels, they can be ANYTHING, MDC 15, ASTRO 7, if you want

libuff

find a 16 or 20 pin connector, then feed +12v into Pin #10, accessory, that is, a +12v switched with the iginition key, NOT hot all the time.

HLN9457 is the part number i believe, although i am referencing an ebay auction

libuff

i don't believe that is a selectable option, however, it seems that most Public Safety radios do that now, most switchable options are on a radio-wide basis. It is set that way so you can remember that the "radio" is on Talk-Around, not Channel 2,3,4,7 are on Talk Around, and I left Channe...

This may get better when P25 moves to TDMA - we'll have to see. Motorola claims 40% greater battery life with the MotoTRBO radios in TDMA mode, because of the transmitter only being used when required to put information onto it's TDMA slot (which I'm sure you knew, but others may not have). Todd i ...

libuff

There had been some speculation that the trunked radio might consume more power because it is constantly monitoring the control channel, but it sounds like that is a non-factor then. aren't battery life times based upon a 5/5/90 timescale, 5% transmit, 5% receive, 90% standby, SO... one would assum...

libuff

yes it is possible, you need the correct connector, or some serious understanding of the 16 pin connector and the pin-outs of a pac-RT. however, you need to remember, that your PAC-RT and CDM1250 cannot be the same band, so VHF-LO and VHF-HI are ok... but VHF-HI and VHF-HI are NOT ok, although im su...

libuff

im see your already licensed, but lower frequencies, maybe more like the 46mhz band would better suit your needs... however, my guess, is very low gain antennas to extend the "bubble" into the valley better. im very sure that the 468mhz band will most likely NOT propigate over the hills li...

libuff

me too for that matter..

thats the problem im having, my 2500 is my frame of reference...

libuff

Unless I'm missing something, I think the answer is wrong. For conventional (non-trunked, non-Astro) MDC ID, either raw IDs or aliases, you don't need H14. Either that or we've got about 500 radios that do something they're not supposed to. thats what i understood to be the situation, however i am ...

libuff

i was under the understanding that that option related to "digital" id's only... is that for conventional MDC ID's as well?

howabout firmware upgrade, would that solve anything?

where can i find a MSS?

Thanks for the quick replies

well since $$ is particualrly an issue, i'll be contacting that company and seeing what exactly this may cost... another question, if we have a license at a location, and want to have that frequency transfered to another location with higher elevation, how difficult would that be on the FCC end of t...

of course, why support a feature, when u can buy a radio twice the cost and use that instead?
