You need the W series TIB and ribbon cable for it as well. A TIB for an O series head will not work with any W series head.

It would have been easier to just use an O3 head with what you have.

ka8ypy

can't be done, the RF board does not support the 700Mhz P/S band and it won't move up to the 900 Mhz band either.

ka8ypy

What is the band split of the radio?

I use and love the one I still have. I wish I could find an Astro version. I you happen to find a regular one, please let me know, I stopped looking for a while but have recently started looking again. Likewise I am also looking for an Astro version as well, so will let you know if I find an air an...

I know this is a very old thread, but I have never seen one of these and would like to find one. Is there really such a thing as a Saber X transportable? Pictures and part numbers please?

i'd look more towards the whole multiswitch in the column, all the lights you speak of go thru it It's a known issue with the LCM (Light Control Module), over heats and the relays fail. Ford's answer on CVPIs has been to replace the entire LCM, and they state it's a known problem when they advise y...

For those of you that have programmed an XPR 7550 with 7.6, how have you dealt with the error message for 25 Khz channels: Error #1233 Unable to perform this operation. To proceed, register the 25 Khz Channel Bandwidth feature in CPS. I get the above error when writing to the radio. Yes I have a cas...

The standard 17ft NMO cable is way too short when using dash mount radios in most SUV's even the crown vic's with the antennas on the trunk. . We stock 20's and even afew 25's for that reason. Its better to have too much than to try to banjo string it across the floor mats and then have no room to ...

In addition to the remote heads mentioned above, get rid of all of the excess cable and wiring in the various boxes (light control and radio box). No need for the loops of extra power cable, extra control cable, etc., also, label both ends of every cable, it will make upgrading and trouble shooting ...

You guys do realize that this was a two year old thread?

While the SoundOff and Whelen units use 6 LEDs per head, Axixtech HAL09s use 9 Cree LEDs per head and are a good bet as well. ( I sell and install Axixtech, Whelen, Code3 and SoundOff) TVSJR hit it right, with LEDs it all depends on the location with respect to the center of the reflector. Also colo...

It will work just fine, I had done this back when I had 3500 in a busted case and was waiting on a new case to show up. Moved to a spare 3000 case I had.

The buttons are not part of the case, they can be moved as well, I have several Yellow case 3000s with the 3500 key membrain.

Thank you all.

I have searched and failed, I am looking for the pinouts needed to hook up a TNC to a high power Spectra?

I have a few spare VHF units that I would like to play with.

Also, jumper position to use the drawer without a control head (if possible)?

Thanks,

Very interesting. Thank you. Havis has brackets to attach one of their floor plates to the bracket around the RCM. I've been considering going that route, but have some concerns about the stability of that arrangement. For one, there's nothing anchoring the floor plate to the transmission tunnel to...

yep, those are VHF pass-rejects and can be tricky to tune for 600khz offset if you are not patient or well equipped. you tune each side to pass it's appropriate freq, then tun the little gold caps to reject the other freq, then if necessary repeat until you have about 80-90db rejection on each side...

I havent done an 05 explorer in say 6 yrs But I do remember there is a negative trigger wire under the steering column that goes to ground when the truck is in park.

Instead of building a box for the heads, look for used console (Havis Shield, Troy, Jotto, etc.). The drawers can be mounted side by side. Two VHF into one antenna? Not gonna happen without a switch (only one radio will receive at a time with a switch). You might be able to get away with two antenna...

ka8ypy

No park kill circuit, you will need to install a micro switch in contact with the shifter so it is closed when in park and open when not.

So to make my own cable for the DB25, I need pins 16 (IGN), 24(SPKR-), 25(SPKR+).

Do I need to do anything with pin 13(EMERG)? I.E. do I need to ground it as on the 26 pin accessory connector for a dash mount?

Thanks,

STOP!! After CPS9, radios must have Q52 AND Q53 to program, and trunking cannot be in the flash. It also requires that the first 240 channels each have a personality with them. It's really stupid and makes it difficult to have 1000 channels in the radio when the radio only goes up to 255 personalit...

The radio was mine before I sold it to the OP and it was a used/hacked radio when I got it. I had no issues with it over the time I owned it, and the control board very well could be from a UHFL radio,

Got mine today. Here's what I've found so far: -This is definitely a different creature. There is no FCC ID (not surprising) on the serial tag and under "Mfg Code" where the flashcode would be, it just says "NONE." -Nothing in the MCS family will read these guys. The error throw...

Q52-Q53 will always have priority in functionality over trunking in a whore flashed radio. So I can program it with ANY version of CPS safely? It depends on what version of CPS the radio was last programmed with. The radio you are checking on was last programmed with CPS 15, so you need CPS 15 to p...

Why not set the corners to steady burn, and then use the violet wire for low power? There is really no way to wire an additional flasher to the LEDs without a whole lot of extras, Diodes on all of the wires between the flashers and the LEDs to begin with, extra wires for power and control of the ext...

I don't believe a full size controller will fit the mini light bar, and Whelen never made the mini liberty with Ballast light heads.

I would suggest calling Whelen tech support.

According to the installation manual, there is no cruise mode on the Mini-Liberty.

Tom,

See you there, Don't forget the batteries.

Doesn't exist, best bet is to install a micro switch and pull whatever signal you want (+ or -) through it. Set the switch to close when the shift lever is in park.

I have had to do this on several F-150s from 2004 to current and it hasn't failed yet.

Thanks for that info! I am not aware of any scanners out right now that will work with that either.

Yes, it can be done.

NO it is not just hacking or hex editing the codeplug/or the programming software, there are I believe some additional hardware updates that need to be done.

Yes, they exist, I've played with one.

Do you have just the cradle or do you also have the control box as well (either with or without an amp)?

I use these for my installs on the Charger (we are also a dealer for them). Makes life so much easier than making your own circuits with extra relays.
