The XTS5000 is available with Type 1 encryption for the federal govt. That is VINSON family of encryption that the military uses in SINCGARS & other tactical radios. AES & the DES types are Type 3, which is lower. Also the XTL2500 & other ASTRO portables can get a lower type of encryption (I think ...

In the RSS, you put in the number of codes you want. Then the keyloader will see them when you try to load a code and prompt you for the address for each code you load. If you see the keyloader trying to download to the hybrid directly like a single key radio, then you don't have more than one code ...

This radio does has internal PL as a software option. It costs quite a bit though, just like the basic unit. This portion of Motorola was bought by GD about the same time that Mot. sold them their test equipment section.

The only thing keeping the military from already being in the 380 MHz band has been the unavailability of the equipment from Motorola. They already have a Quantar. The first user radio will be in the XTS family and there will be no mobile for quite some time. The 403-433 congestion is worse than any ...

Here is the announcement. It covers several Pro models. Also the EX600 is available in LS now. For those who don't know, it is the Visar sized Pro portable.

As of last week, the Mot. units CAN do MDC over LTR & conv. They will upgrade your old units for $50.00 to do the sme operation. This also includes Quick Call II over conventional in the CDM1550LS+. They are doing away with the plain CDM1550 and you will only get the LS+ model now in the upper tier ...

From what I understand, the P1225 & P1225LS are two separate radios due to the firmware. I belive the P1225 firmware is all Motorola and the P1225LS firmware is part Scholer-Johnson. The RF portion of the radios are the same, but the logic programming and software/firmware are completely different ...

The one sure way to know if the radio is receiving the control channel is put a scope on discriminator audio. You can see data there instead of white noise if it has locked onto a control channel. Email me direct @ [email protected] and I will talk to you about the start & stops I have.

I have had similiar problems with trunking systems where I had to create the codeplugs templates from scratch. Every time I had to do this I had problems with the start & stop frequencies. The radio hears the control channels because they are entered directly, but the radio isn't told which channel ...

We have to ship more HT series to depot than I like to, maybe we can save a few more with this. Normally I don't post, I just harvest info so thank you for posting something that may save us and our customers pain.

cool!

In the Command Plus RSS there is a field called "mute parallel audio". That will do what you want. These will then mute when they "hear" guard tone coming from another remote keying. Be aware that they will also mute any other remotes tx which might be across the wireline.
