Not to mention, the wiring and pin assignments are different.

Did you try the Windows version of the CPS? I was not aware there was a DOS version for the 1225 series. Forewarning, the Windows version will not run on anything higher than Win98. I had to setup a dual boot partition with Win98 just to maintain a GR1225 repeater.

It is only by coincidence that the speaker plug and the mic plug fit each other, but that is not how it works. From the original kit, the speaker and the mic attached independently to specified ports on the phone cradle box, they do not plug into each other.

I think he is referring to the original batlabs.com website, not the forums.

Impossible.

Windows 10 is Not supported for Astro CPS. If you absolutely want to use it regardless of the consequences, then you have to use the 32 bit version, not 64 bit.

Take the unit in question apart and post photos of the controller board and its part number stickers.

Victor Xray

No, it is an 800 radio only. If your system uses any 700 freqs, you will need an XTL at a minimum.

Victor Xray

No the TG cannot be removed. For inexperienced users, I have programmed channel names like UNPROGRM, BLANK, or BAD-CHAN for that mode.

Victor Xray

If it's on an LTR mode, they do transmit one or more bursts before channel grant. But I don't recall an emergency option, so I'm not sure that's the culprit. Could be a modified or shorted mic jack, which would explain being unable to read it. Can you change modes after power on to see if it has a c...

As a ham, I'd buy a pair of JT1000's before a pair HT1000's. Same form factor, with LCD, DTMF, and front panel programmable.

This was the thread I had in the back of my mind when I typed my earlier post about programming. Per clavo, it most likely uses an IR programmer.

I think the Internet Messenger watches program via infrared or light flash patterns from a program on a computer screen. There are no external electrical contacts for connecting to a cradle.

That CPS won't work on Win7. Find a different PC. From the Readme file:

Code: Select all

System Requirements:
--------------------
Operating Systems: Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows XP (Home or Professional)

GTX portable uses the same speaker mic as the GP300.

Already approved by the FCC. http://www.forbes.com/sites/greatspeculations/2012/05/31/sprint-to-build-lte-over-idens-grave/ The FCC approved the use of 800 MHz spectrum to provide advanced 3G and 4G services last week.

Easiest way (assuming you don't have all the specific programming cables and software for each radio) is to use an RF frequency counter. http://www.ebay.com/itm/170661811778 The only thing the freq counter won't tell you is the PL/DPL code the radios are transmitting, if any. For this, you must eith...

Yes and the CPS will pop up a warning window too, telling you the radio has been inhibited and can only be restored from the dispatch console or from the depot.

Didn't Motorola introduce toolproof in the MCS firmware after a later release, like 7 or 8?

He is having the exact same issue as you Jason. I told him to post in this thread after he told me the same story a few weeks ago.

Is there an Impres Nicad on the XTS5000? May or may not be related, but I experienced a similar issue several years ago.

I've never seen any version of CPS supported on Windows CE.

Motorola won't drop iDen technology, at least not for a while. While true that iDen is dying within N.America, iDen networks are actually growing in many other countries, thanks to Nextel International Holdings, Inc.

I think your problem is running the CPS (which is a waayy-old version BTW) on Vista. Even in "XP compatibility mode", I don't think the OS will allow the CPS to address the COM ports correctly. You need to start with the basics. Find a PC with XP and a Serial port. I have used a ribless ca...

Victor Xray

It depends on the firmware version and/or controller size in the radio. Some controllers with firmware R05.x and below can read with Windows CPS but they won't write.

Victor Xray

The M/P1225-LS radios have a completely different microprocessor and memory matrix than the non-LS models.

They are, unfortunately, not hackable at all.

$300 for six 110W radios SHIPPED isn't bad when you consider how extremely heavy each unit is. He's eating quite a bit in shipping charges.

Yup, my bad. The brain was thinking, the fingers were typing, but the coffee had not yet connected the two.

Victor Xray

MTXs are not public safety radios and do not support rebanding. The only Jedi radio that can be rebanded are MTS2000s with a 512K controller and a firmware upgrade. MTX8250 and other Waris series are not public safety radios and do not support rebanding.

That is the P25-9600 Trunking firmware. It requires automatic affiliation just like on the Astro25 series, and it will not receive until the affiliation occurs.

I have a NTN5612A Genesis MTVA that has dirty charging terminals and at least 1 packing peanut floating around inside. How in the heck do you disassemble this MTVA? I cannot find any surface screws or overlapping latching tabs on the outside of this unit. It looks like this one http://gallery.batlab...

Thanks Andreas! I'll give this a shot.
