Ahh, I love when people admit on a public forum that they use a radio on FRS that they shouldn't... not that much will happen.. but I find it funny. Not surprising from Astro_Saber though....

nother crap post for you. what ar eyou up to now? 2 so far in a hour

Astro_Saber

nah i prefer to do it on frs

but since i dont have a cable to unpack my codeplug

i cant test it.

Astro_Saber

is there a place to test the modat sounds?

Astro_Saber

does it sound the same on whatever you set up?

I have sone screens that show modat and allow you to change the id or something and others that just let me select it.

and whats a good default modat setting?

Astro_Saber

ok how many of you have unpacked a out of band codeplug into your radio?

does it always give you th eoption to unpack anyways?

Im getting my radio finished programing and just want to bring the codeplug and have em dump it in the radio.

Astro_Saber

well as far as programming this is a all open totpic i just happen to be using a as3 to do it but any radio can be done the same wayu.

I will mod the rss so that it can go lower and just have them force dump it into the radio, if they will

Astro_Saber

well its a as3 and i got a modified codeplug first and it had all ready down to 444 and such but when i manually tried to change them in a unmodified version it knocked it to 450 its rss 9.05 and no i havent tried dumping it into a radio yet since I will be taking it to the radio shop once i finish ...

Astro_Saber

I have a band split of 450-512 ans want to program it lower and i do so in the codeplug. by using the hex editor if i take it to a place where the rss isnt hex edited will it say out of range when they dump the codeplug in it ? or since i allready had the codeplug edited would it take it no problems...

Astro_Saber

well its a general ?

and sounds like to much work i think ill pass

Astro_Saber

if i wanted to set up Modat for the hell of it on my AS3 what would i need to do? i have lookedat the modat screen but not sure how it works

Astro_Saber

n/m figured it out

Astro_Saber

in the radio menu i domnt see anything other than testing ports and stuff nothing about what flashcodes in it and such

Astro_Saber

how can you tell the flashcode from the plug and how do you change the serial number so it matches your radio

Astro_Saber

iloved my ht1550 , youd recommend it way over a 600, it has more features and a bigger screen

Astro_Saber

anyone have a codeplug for a AS3 with the above flashcode 450-512MHZ 591008-4f1e00-9 could you email it to me state_ops@hotmail.com thank you its one of watchbuddy's radios and please dont pm me if your not going to send it. been told 5 times i was going to get one and havent yet, so pleaase do it o...

Astro_Saber

I guess asking for one doesnt get me one

Astro_Saber

Astro_Saber

whats the housing on a regualr compared to this

Astro_Saber

also why does the case seem to feel more plasticy then the standard AS3 cases?

Astro_Saber

I know i need a small astro sticker for the front, is there any other types of parts that i need. like sealment rings and such?

Astro_Saber

i have had this one up for a while

http://groups.msn.com/Paintballownersun ... 20202.msnw

Astro_Saber

its close friend and I have others but not sure how shed like it on the internet

Astro_Saber

still looking

state_ops@hotmail.com

Astro_Saber

i would use it just to be a more ruggerized case. I dont plan on soaking it in water. my standard AS3 case probably would do the same, but I may look to seal it up

and the same style a week ago

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 3103512263

saved myself 100 bucks

now its time to get batteries

Astro_Saber

like hell it is 800mhz is way overpriced and the range sucks. lucky if you can get a signal in a building

Astro_Saber

800MHZ sucks range is a joke

UHF has range but VHF has more.

just get some VHF encrypted radios

Astro_Saber

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 1950097645

and are hey on a fixed freq? or can they be on any VHF? would be sweet to get a Astro Convertacom and swap it

Astro_Saber

gmrs is a joke you wont get them to do anything.

especially with over the counter frs/gmrs radios.

they could care less

Astro_Saber

450-512

Astro_Saber

do you have a recieve next to it on the same freq and hearing any tones?

if so you may have the tones disabled. happened on my 1550

Astro_Saber

Astro_Saber

most of his are 450MHZ

has anyone that got one of his radios use the hexeditor and knock the range down to 440?

did it cause problems or was it sweet as pie?

thanks and its a astro Saber 3

Astro_Saber

9.05 email him.

i did and so far havent gotten anywhere except a couple emails

Astro_Saber

I think i would rather listen to the 2 lovers trying to rendevous with each other so their spouses dont find out

Astro_Saber

yeah radio shops dont know much.

they charge you 50.00 a hour to program 160 personalitys into a Astro

and when the guy can only do 10 a hour cause he cant do crap you know its fleecing.

better to have someone who knows what they are doing and pay for it then to pay and have it not done right

Astro_Saber

I never had one this is a Nick radio

I am hoping to get a codeplug so I can try

Astro_Saber

1 time out of alot.

everyonce in a while I will switch over to the hams but nothings going on

Astro_Saber

well i dont have the 3-400 to shell out for the current version.

they should make it compatable.

this would be a case of monopolistic actions as they dont provide you with curent versions

Astro_Saber

I have rss 6.05 for the Astro and the radio was programmed with newer so get the codeplug to old crap. how hard is it to pull the plug and then reprogram it so I can actually use the software i have , i dont want to give M m ore money for something that I should get for free. stupid upgrades sure suck

Astro_Saber

The PS people are so stupid to start with. the range and cost of a 800mhz system is laughable. they should have aquired the uhf or vhf and set up a digital trunking system. cheaper and more cost effective. you dont need as many towers and the range is greater. people hear its better so they think to...

Astro_Saber

I am thinking of attaching my PS mic to my VHF AS3 and was wondering if there is really a difference?

I have attached the mini UHF to the radio instead of the wideband and still get the same amount of reception

Astro_Saber

Astro_Saber

on the mic not the radio. thanks

Astro_Saber

model number?

Astro_Saber

a uhf antenna for a PS Astro Mic?

and a antenna relief

Astro_Saber

and I've used a 700MHZ to program a MTS2000 in DOS mode RSS

Astro_Saber

it allows the govt to know who you are

Astro_Saber

Older Saber radios are pretty nice

Astro_Saber

best to save it as a gif as it is size constrainted
