MTR2000 Reset Issue
We have a UHF MTR2000 for paging, controlled and channel steered with a MCC7500 Console. It has developed an issue where intermittently the station will do a warm reset during a page.
The Station Control Module with newer firmware and the Antenna Relay have been replaced but still having the issue.
Anyone ever had a similar issue?
Thanks
Mark

Re: MTR2000 Reset Issue
Create a NEW codeplug in the programming software, fill out all parameters and program the station with it. DO NOT use a saved or read copy of the codeplug. This solves a lot of weird stuff with MTR2000's.
It's called Codeplug Stagnation, according to Motorola.

Thank you!
Re: MTR2000 Reset Issue
Let me know how it works out please.
Re: MTR2000 Reset Issue
Unfortunately the new codeplug did not resolve this issue.
Re: MTR2000 Reset Issue
Sounds like a failing station control module. There should be replacements available on eBay.
Re: MTR2000 Reset Issue
We already replaced the Station Control Module that had a newer firmware version.
Re: MTR2000 Reset Issue
And you are still having issues? I'd be looking at the power supply in that case.

Re: MTR2000 Reset Issue
Does it show errors on the station diagnostic log?
+1 however on PS issue especially if you've replaced things and written a new CP.

I believe it's down to a power supply or PA issue, everything else has been replaced.
Appreciate your help!

Mark,
Try running the station on DC and see what you get. I believe it requires +24-28VDC.

Careful, that's only if it's a 100-watt unit. 30/40 watt units run on 12 volts.d119 wrote:Mark,

Re: MTR2000 Reset Issue
Probably not the issue considering you changed the SCM but are you running an ATMEL codeplug chip? if not that can cause issues.
