How do you speed up the PL decode time on a HT1250? And has anybody been having any problems with losing the correct time on the clock?
Thanks

My ht1250 started losing time on the clock as well. Strangely enough, I replaced the battery with a new one and the problem went away.

Is there a way to set the time to 24.00hrs?
I have NO problems with the time...

Setting the time to 24hr is easy (assuming that the radio is programmed to allow access to the utilities menu).
Scroll down to- UtilitiesClockSet Time, right arrow over to am/pm and up/down arrow until it shows 24hr. Hit enter and you're set.

We have a fleet of HT1250's here and some of them lose time. I've been told by Motorola that it was only one lot of radios and that they have a fix in the way. They have tried a couple of different fixes with us so far with little success, but they have it narrowed down and are supposed to have it fixed this spring.

I had a VHF HT1250 on my deptartment that would lose about 1/2 hour every 2 weeks. It had the high capacity battery and we changed it out with a new Lithium battery and the problem went away for about a month. Motorola said that it needed to be upgraded from a version 1.00.00 to a 3.01.00. That was last year and it still does not keep time. Maybe this will be the year for the right fix.

We have wrist-watchs that run off WWV Time Clock! Think "M" would think of that feature.

I'm sure they will, and I'll bet it will be a $960.00 flash option

As for PL decode time, are you using MDC1200? and if so, there is a parameter called DOS Hold Off (I believe thats what its called, i'm not at the office right now to check). Anyway i think the default setting is 500ms. What is does is keep the radio muted for the set time after it recieves a valid signal so that the user does not have to hear the Pre-PTT MDC1200 data squawk. But if you are not using Pre-PTT ID, it just seems to take a long time for the reciever to open. I aways set it to the lowest time allowed as I used Post-PTT ID.
As for the Clock, its just another clock to keep on time (how many of you have the 12:00 flashing on your VCR right now!). I tell the customer about it, but in all cases so far they have asked me to defeat the clock so that it never shows on the screen.
