MTR2000 Question

Post by Vercomm »

Hi Guys,

I have a project coming up that may require some MTR's. I want to know if I could order a unit with UHF Rx and 100Watt VHF Tx? I looked through the moto website and didn't come up with the answer I was looking for. Is this possible?

The application is paging. UHF Rx and VHF Tx. The unit will be controlled by a Zetron Model 66.

I've got some old 100watt Glenayre PA's that I could use with a UHF mobile and VHF mobile, but would like to go new and a bit more sophisticated. Will be trying to incorporate simulcast.

Any better ways of doing this?

Perhaps I will post this in the paging forum as well.

Hello Vercomm,

Ordering a MTR2000 as a Cross Band Repeater shouldn't be a problem as these combination options are set up in the /\/\ Factory's Tech Edit programmed ordering software.

On the front of the MTR2000 Station Control Module there's a BNC Input Jack for either a 5/10 MHz External (HSO) Reference Signal.

Dan562,

What would you suggest to use as an external reference for 5/10MHz?

a GPS clock source,
Something like a TRAk9000
Why just put sequential paging in from the controller.
OK you need to program the pages to ignore the second page but unless its thousands of pages its much cheaper.

just looked at ECAT and for the MTR it has the following

EXTERNAL FREQUENCY REFERENCE T5829
*External Frequency Reference (EFR) provides 0.1 PPM RMS frequency stability through the use of an ovenized oscillator with 5 MHz output.
*This level of stability is required for narrowband operation (12.5 KHz).
*The EFR has 8 external ports which are capable of supporting 6 redceivers each.
*The total number of receivers supported by eacg EFT is 48.
*The EFR must be ordered as a separate line item.
*It is NOT an option to the receiver.
*Options C187 and U178 are options to the EFR.
*The EFR ships standard with the mounting hardware required to install in a Motorola rack.
*The EFR does not include the cabling required to connect to the receiver.
*It requires a BNC to BNC cable which must be purchased separately.
*Contact System Engineering for recommended cable length and part number.

Bruce1807,

I checked on MOL and the T5829 has been cancelled. I also could not find the option C187 or U187. I was looking through the ordering options and didn't see anything. I don't have ECAT on my computer though.

ALT: MOUNTING BRACKET, CABINET U178AA
Replaces the standard rack mounting hardware with the hardware required for installing into a Motorola cabinet.
NOT COMPATIBLE withT5589 ASTRO-TAC Receiver or T5367-QUANTAR Receiver


I cant find any reference to the other
Its still in my ECAT but I'm waiting on a new one to arrive
