Sorry for taking so long to reply. Yes, that is the setup that I'm using. Yes, I've been able to change the order of the buttons and remap them appropriately. No, I haven't tried to assign anything other than siren functions to the DEK buttons.

Bob

What are you using it for?

I have a DEK driving the siren connected to my W3 Astro Spectra.

Bob

Perhaps the radio is programmed to follow ignition sense only.

Bob

I'll probably be there as long as I don't get a particular phone call. I'll be fairly low-profile too - in more ways than one.

Bob

I was just looking through an old price sheet that I found. It listed an option as "ALT: CABLE, SIREN 'T'" with an option number of G334. I think that's the part that I need. I just need to find the part number for it. Edit: Found it! HKN6154 is what I'm looking for. Thanks to those who re...

Bob

I'll have to look into that.
The unit that I'm looking to integrate is a VRS750 if it matters any.

Bob

I'm looking for the part number(s) for a T cable for Systems 9000 accessories.
I want to be able to connect both a VRS AND a siren to my Astro Spectra. Any ideas?

Bob

I just picked up a 2004 Impala LS with the 3.8l V6. Before I start installing lights and radios, I'm going up upgrade some of the stock wiring. I'm also considering upgrading the stock alternator. Will a 125amp alternator from a 9C1 of the same model year bolt right up? Else, does anyone have any re...

DO you know what it would take to use the DEK with the W3 head? I believe it is a different Y cable and legacy DEK to Y cable cable.

I realize I'm responding to an old post.

HKN6145. It runs from the second DB25 to the siren box and then the DEK.

Bob

I looked this one up last night. It's listed as the standard W3 HHCH for the Astro Spectra/Astro Spectra Plus in a HLN1439/HLN1241 Siren/Dek configuration.
... Per the HLN1439 service manual.

Bob

HLA, so you're saying the local PD has taken it upon itself to enforce FCC rules? Adding charges for an FPP battery? Puh-leeze. Depends on the state. In NY, it is a violation (pretty sure, not a mis or fel) to have a radio capable of receiving public safety freq's in a vehicle. Now, the law was rec...

Bob

For anyone else who may be interested, I found the part number.

3080384M04

List price is $10.50. For MY price, it wasn't worth the time and effort to make one from parts.

Bob

I'm looking for the part number for the wiring harness for the TDN9816 charger.

It's the brick-looking charger for the Jedi series, with the Pac-RT switch.

Bob

One big consideration that I haven't heard yet: Is this going to be an addition to an existing fleet, a replacement within a fleet, or a replacement within a single-unit agency? I ask this because useability and training may be an issue for your personnel. My squad now runs a fleet of four Brauns. T...

Bob

Hi PJ and Bruce1807: Yes, the radio, a T04JKH9PW9AN, has a HCN1078D Systems 9000 W9 control head. The mic plugs into the backside of the control head, right next to where the control cable plugs in -- it's not a front panel mic jack. Why "Home" is not showing up as a programmable button o...

Bob

Thanks Gents. That's what I thought. Will, when you get a few minutes, can you drop me a PM with some rough numbers for repair? I realize that it's tough to say without seeing how much damage has been done. I just need to decide whether it's worth fixing or if I need to push up the timeline on my as...

Bob

I noticed this evening that I'm hearing a LOT more noise when weak signals are being received on my Spectra. It almost sounds like a multi-path signal. The stronger signals still come in full-quieting without any discernable noise. The antenna, cable, and termination are fine. I've tried a couple di...

And not all Astro spectras are. Assume a VHF Astro Spectra is narrowband only if tagged as such.

Bob

You can program a couple of functions. To take full advantage of the siren, you'll have to use a DEK

Bob

Tom,
If you want to experiment with it, you may want to consider starting with a couple of maxtracs with TPG's mod. It's an inexpensive way to start out. The instructions are here... somewhere.

Bob

Just curious why you have 2 six head strobe power supplies and are only using 6 out of the total 12 outlets... Looks like one is 60 watts the one using 4 is 90 watts, maybe he doesn't want as much power for 2 lights? Or perhaps it so he can run a different pattern or so he can run 2x2x2 instead of ...

Bob

What's the flashcode?

Bob

I've also used HLN9903A for DTMF with display

Bob

I think you'll find that if you connect the SVA to an antenna outside the vehicle, your reception will improve dramatically. Given the mounting location of most portable adapters, it will likely get the antenna location higher. It will also get the antenna outside the steel box that is your vehicle.

Bob

Not necessarily. Could be an E7 spectra. If its not an Astro Spectra its not SmartZone. What about the connect-tone? If it's wrong, could that also give him the same symptoms? He didn't specify if it's a SmartNet system or not. If it's SmartNet (or SmartZone) the Connect Tone is provided by the cont...

Bob

I understand as much. It might be worth looking into the cradle, however.

Bob

As I'm sure you're well aware, Motorola offloaded its paging business. The T900 is still around as the Unication P900. There is a cradle available for backing up and restoring the address book info. I wonder if you can use the same cradle with different software for programming the unit. Arch Wirele...

If they're looking to get on the internet, they'll need a router/gateway solution. If they're just looking to get the laptops to talk to each other, that's easy. No need for a WAP or a router. Just place all of the wireless adapters in Ad Hoc mode instead of infrastructure mode, assign them IP addre...

I have PDW running on a win2k box at home, monitoring a POCSAG stream. Then I have a filter set up to parse certain CAP codes out to a separate text file. Once the text file is created, PDW executes Bmail, a command-line email utility, to email the text to my cell phone as a text message. The guys a...

Bob

Damn.

I was hoping CPS was actually available for the Spectra.

Bob

What do you mean by pinout, and which model do you have. If you are using a CID box they are on the box themselves if you want to know which one is TX and which is RX I can look that up for ya. Let me know The newer CIDs for the Millennium have a programming port on them where you plug in a PC to d...

Bob

I've never heard of that split in a saber. A 68MHz split saber (or MX) was manufactured for overseas. That is often referred to as a 'lowband' saber.

Bob

As long as you use the one that matches the other side, it doesn't matter.

Bob

Yes, you can remote mount an A4 head. Yes, you can install an A4 head on an 800MHz radio, though the configuration isn't all that common.

Bob

We've had the same set of GP300s in service at my ambulance squad for nearly 15 years now. As of late, we've been replacing them with P1225s, in anticipation of moving to narrowband ops. The GP300s hold up pretty well. I don't think they quite equal the durability of the Genesis or Saber line, but t...

Bob

It is in fact a speaker from a cell-phone hands-free kit. Google the part number and you'll find several dozen websites that have them for sale. Typical price is around $20.

Bob

I'd ballpark it at $380

Does anyone know the differences between the 1185 and the 1439 sirens? I know the 1439 plays with the W3 config, but what else is there?

I have a 1439 manual and a bunch of 1185 sirens to play with. I was just going to play around with some of the jumper settings and crap like that.

Bob

Well, the verdict is in. I'll be Dayton-bound on the 17th after my last final exam.

Bob

You can prevent people from screwing up the programming by setting a programming password.

I've been thinking about picking one up for myself for 'advanced warning' of MERT pages at work.

Has anyone played with the XP version that's supposed to be water resistant and have a charging cradle?

Bob

Nope. Syntor X9000 and the Spectra line are the only Moto mobiles capable of (different flavors of) this type of operation.

This is only one of the few areas where I prefer Kenwood or Vertex over Motorola.

Bob

Depends on how much you want to spend. In the past, I've stayed at the Residence Inn near the Fairfield mall. A single room is about $120 a night, two room suite is about $200 a night. It's about 15-20 minutes from Hara and 10-15 minutes from the Wright-Patterson Air Force Museum. Free breakfast, ho...
