I guess when you have not played with the older radios you wouldn't have known.

Einstein

A kind of cool feature, you can hold the side button below the PTT for approx. 3sec and it will invert the top display.

Einstein

Try doing a file search for anything related to the ASTRO software, sometimes there is still files remaining on the system after an un-install. Delete those and then re-boot.

Multiple versions of the CPS are allowed to be installed on the same computer. Please note that when double-clicking on a the .mc file, the latest installed CPS will be launched to open the .mc file. NOTE: DO NOT INSTALL MULTIPLE VERSIONS OF THE CPS INTO THE SAME FOLDER. From the following, the APX ...

Hi folks, I've lost my wall wart AC adapter for my OEM 4008 RIB. I can't find anywhere the voltage or the barrel size/polarity. I assume its 9 volt, but I really don't want to assume anythng. Any ideas ? (i don't seem to find a replacement on MOL either) Thanks ! Jim My original wall wart is a 9v 1...

Would this bullentin apply to a radio that the display scrambles only when transmitting or is there another problem, possibly, like RF getting into the display.

I am looking for the service manuals for the Astro-Tac, Astro-Tac 3000 Comparator. If anyone has these that they are willing to send me it would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Einstein

As with Motorola and other USB cables sometimes if you go into the Device Manager of the computer, un-install that particular device driver then re-connect the cable and device to load the driver again it sometime clears the problem.

Einstein

Be aware also, as some of us have found out, that even running the radio through NCIC, you could get a knock at the door 6 months or later down the road stating that the radio you purchased is in fact stolen.

Einstein

When you removed the installation and then re-installed it how did you do this? Removing the program from just the add/remove programs field will not remove all the files. You have to do a search after that process from anything related to that program and remove those items as well then do a re-ins...

Einstein

It's probably that the software is a copied version and not an original factory version. If it is I think that might be the problem. When you make a copy, sometimes not all the files are copied and usually it is one of the .dll files.

Einstein

Like the HP 8924, the HP 8921 and the HP 8935 all these units for servicing cellular equipment and base stations are going by the way side, meaning no longer supported, and was wondering, if there are any cell guys on the board, what equipment are they using now to service the cellular field.

Einstein

I am looking for how you would obtain the following information regarding the BCCH for a local iDEN system. In particular the Local LAI, Regional Network Code, and the Service Provider Code . Is there any relation to these items and the MCC or NDC?

Thanks in advance.

Einstein

Just for the boards info, when the ad was first placed, the ad stated that the unit was locked and was at a lower price Buy It Now or Best Offer. My offer, at a much lower price knowing that the radio was probably stunned, was declined, the price was raised, and the info on the radio being locked wa...

Einstein

Can you be more specific? Since the search features are down, I was looking to view and possibly edit information, ex. freq range etc. in a codeplug and thought there was certain fields in the Hex Editor ex Base Convertor etc that had to be defined and set up to perform this procedure. I was hoping...

Einstein

Can someone point me to the thread on the settings in Hex Editor required for viewing codeplug info.

Thanks in advance.

Einstein

If you put a spectrum analyzer on some of the best service monitors available, you will be surprised at some of the spurious signals that they generate. I had one, which I will not mention the brand, was putting out the correct signal that I had programmed in but it was also putting out two spurs ei...

Einstein

You need one more digit in the last segment. Something to the effect of 580008-000000-3 as an example.

Einstein

The 2670D manual is some what vague in that it states, ASTRO radios have an internal TEST KEY to which is the same as the analyzer. It also states that you should refer to the service manual to see if this key can be activated in the particular radio, and if cannot it must be loaded from the KVL or ...

Einstein

The R2670D manual makes reference to a internal test key of 707070....hex. It states ASTRO radios also have an internal Test Key which I have not seen or have tested personally.

Einstein

Einstein

Does anybody have a pdf copy of the operating manual for the General Dynamics R2660D iDEN unit that they could send me.

Thanks in advance.

Einstein

Just got back. Had an excellent time as always. Visited with some of the Batlab members, and was very enjoyable. I hope to be able to go next year as well.

Einstein

Yeah everything looked fine. It's very strange. One minute it would be fine and have an RSSI of 148 and the next minute, zero. The only way I could get it to receive the control channel was to walk over to the tower and be right by it. Even then, it would get an RSSI of 5-10. Once I turned it back ...

Someone brought in an XTS5000 with a problem I haven't seen before. The radio is programmed appropriately and is active on the system. I checked to make sure that it had a digital ID and all that, and it does. Anyways, what's happening is that every once in a while I get an out of range indicator. ...

I went to keyload my radio and got this error KID/ALGID. What Does it Mean. Thanks You did not state if you have this particular key in the KVL already or I am assuming were trying to enter a key into the KVL first to load into the radio, either way this might help: 1- You have attempted to enter a...

You would only need the system key to make changes to the trunking fields, you should have no problem changing the fields that are of interest to you with the CPS and the programming cable.

Com ports ok. If you have another XTS radio to try, try that. Changing from USB to Serial port connection is straight forward in the software. Probably the cable. I have had one OEM cable that had a bad ground connection in it and was locking up all my XTS 5000's. Sometimes it would work other times...

Einstein

See error below Radio Failed to Acknowledge. Error Context: 24, Status: c0000386 The same error happens even if I have nothing plugged into the com port - hence "No communication to radio". You either have a Com port problem, but I think you stated that it was happening with 2 computers, ...

Einstein

When you have the software running, with the cable connected to the radio and computer, and try to read the radio, any error codes? Are you stating that nothing happens at all? The software should state something. Any error codes on the radio screen, assuming its a model II or III It would be helpfu...

Einstein

It would be helpful to know what it is not doing. Are you getting error codes? It is not seeing the radio at all,what?

Einstein

Also breaking the link between the computer and the radio between each attempt sometimes helps also.

Einstein

I have heard life span on average 8-10 years.

Einstein

I am assuming that the model II has a display. If so the radio would also display key fail along with the tones and the transmit light not indicating transmit. That's a good point, I thought of that in the back of my mind also. The Saber II does have a display, but I have no idea if the Saber serie...

Einstein

I could be mistaken, but I believe if you have it set to transmit encrypted (if its encryption-capable), but don't have a key loaded, you get a "no-no tone" like you're describing. I am assuming that the model II has a display. If so the radio would also display key fail along with the to...

I believe that they are medium pitch; since I have so little experience with sabers I'm not 100% certain. The battery pack is good (works on other radios). I tried moving the low battery threshold in the alignment section all the way around with no change in behavior. From the alert tones, it does ...

I have a Saber II (UHF 440-470) that, upon pressing the PTT switch, produces a rapid "BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP" continuously until the button is released. The transmit light never illuminates, and the beeping starts about 1 second or so after the button is pressed. Since I do not have a servic...

Hello, Using CPS 12. Able to read & write to the radio with CPS. Not able to read using the tuner. Using a serial cable not USB. Radio will not receive or transmit - gives the error. Radio has Host 9 & other it was tried on is host 3. Both radios give the same error. This is a new board, ne...

Einstein

Correct, the tuning software will not read the radio to go into tuning mode. Thx!! I guess the next question is why was the RF board replaced? Were you able to read the radio with the old RF board and without the failure code? What is the part number of the replacement board? What is the Host/DSP v...

Are you saying that you are not able to read the radio at all with the replacement RF board installed?
The alignment has to be performed in the tuning software. The radio has to be read with the tuning software first.

Einstein

01/A2 states reflashing of the tuning codeplug. I would try to re-align the unit since the RF board was replaced.
