The giant donkey dong antennas from Moto and other sources seem to be the only ones available. Ugly as sin. Yep, I have those now and I really don't care for their aesthetic but that's not my concern. The handful of small vehicles that have multiband have them and I'm fine with that. I have one ove...

Greetings all, Has anyone found a good source for a low profile all-band antenna? We use the Phantom Elite as our primary for 7/800 installs. We have a handful of units running MultiBand 7500 and 8500s, I understand the Phantom Elite is a bit small maybe for an all-band but the Motorola All Band Ant...

The adventure continues, where in the world is the firmware update procedure for these things? Not in the book for sure, and not in the CT help file.

Thanks.

mavericknet

Many thanks again. I have our rep working on getting it to me. New question, is there a away to connect more than 1 APX consolette to the the RGU and access it from the MCD5000? I have 1 APX 10.0.0.6 and 1 APX at 10.0.0.11 and can't seem to locate where to add an additional radio connection to the R...

mavericknet

I'm not getting any of the soft keys to display on the MCD5000, I'm aware that should be a mapping of the 05 control head, however these units have the E5. Ideas?

mavericknet

Thanks Alex, This is the first time I've ever worked to configure anything consolette related so I'm still figuring out CT and the basics. The deployment I'm working on is 1 APX Consolette, 1 RGU, 1 CradlePoint to be configured and then deployed somewhere in the state that has a local TRS or Convent...

mavericknet

Greetings, I have a pile of disaster communication consolettes staged and ready for deployment for whatever they can be used for. They have mostly been used as a mobile ona desk in their previous deployments and have been used for tactical cross patch. Moving forward, we also have four RGUs and a fe...

Yea, I haven't heard back from the local rep, from my previous dealings with local reps I am not surprised. Working with the local rep from my home town was like pulling teeth with chopsticks. What's the channel market look like for Harris? Aside from their corporate website I can't find vendors tha...

mavericknet

Hadn't really considered the 2500, the other agencies around here were using 5000s. Could use a price on 2500s as well, I'm reading the P25/ASTRO operations as we speak. I came from a land of part 90 uhf/vhf and now I'm swimming in a sea of digital around here. Anybody ever had any dealings with Har...

Good evening folks, I've recently joined up with a statewide volunteer search and rescue group that has some relatively archaic radio equipment, this stuff will all be boat anchors come January 1st. I've started working on a grant proposal to send out to a couple of area charities to see if we can g...

So, my parent's dog is getting a little old, and they're away on a month long vacation. Between my brother, my sister-in-law, my fiancee, and me we have to take care of them. Yesterday I was stuck at work, I had taken my fiancee's keys and my brother was working out-of-town. Soooooo. I get home thre...

Hey guys, I'm workin a project for a new communications room for a volunteer ambulance service, I'm trying to find one or many funding sources that will bring the total cost of the project under $50,000 for the organization. This project includes not only the radio consoles, but all radio tranciever...

mavericknet

I've got a single CDM1550 remote mount screwed into the side of the console, it's a bit of a reach though. I have my SS2000SM head free floating.. I'm still trying to figure out where to mount it where it will be convenient to reach.

I use a single password for all CDM radios I own/service (stupid I know). I was doing service for my ambulance, I pissed off some people who made it into power, they went over budget and against bidding regulations to exclude me from a contract for the upfit of a car. Low and behold, they still want...

mavericknet

YIKES! Nobody makes anything cheap anymore do they? Thanks for the info guys.

mavericknet

How/where does one procure the software and cables for the SS2000 Touch Screen package?

mavericknet

Is this just a two pin 1/4 plug for the mic for the SS2000SM? Or something else?

mavericknet

Hey guys, I'm about 27 more screws away from being completey finished with my 1987 Jeep Cherokee Laredo . I've run into a problem where the power windows are SLOW, the passenger side will barely raise and lower, if figured it was shot, so I replaced it.. twice, still as slow. Anything I should look ...

mavericknet

Hey all,

I snarfed a used Antenna Specialists Splitter that goes between the AM/FM Antenna and the radio and a scanner. Is it normal to expect a desense on the AM/FM radio, I lost one of my moderatly favorite radio stations after I installed the splitter.

Thnx

mavericknet

Figured it out, but not before smoking half the arrowstick! hehe, oh well, guess I'll be jumping burnt leads. Thanks all.

mavericknet

Hey folks, anybody know how to make my Fed-Sig SS2000SM interface with they arrowstick on my MX7000? Can I switch the signal master board out for a SM board for a SS2000 C31? Looking for answers quick an I know you guys are the best in the know for such electronic things.

mavericknet

Agreed, if you wanna know a particular is this better than that shpeal go logon to one of the specific boards, they'll debate that stuff till their blue in the face. I was referring to electronics installation, cause I'll be the first to say, if I wanted to mount a TFT screen, hooked to a DVD naviga...

Oh for the love of... I swear to something mightier this is starting to piss me off about this board.

As I understand it, they're titled to the non-profit, and registered to the tax district... Both are similarly named. In the event the non-profit cancels their contract with the district OR ceases operation the vehicle is forfeit to the tax district.

Ok, need some help with a legal question (oye). I submitted a competative bid to do an install on an 05 CVPI, it's the first new car I'll be working on, but not the first vehicle I've done quality work on. I was at the opening of the bid, I matched all specifications, I've satisfied their demands of...

mavericknet

Whoops, guess I should've clarified... It's not for me. . I've got an EMS department that found a CVPI for 20,995 delivered, and they asked if I knew if that was the cheapest. It's from a ford dealer selling CVPIs and SS Explorer/Expeditions. The place is also offering $1900 conversions (including l...

mavericknet

Hey guys, figured you would know if anybody, what's the going market price for a 2004 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor? (I don't want to start an Impala/CVPI flamewar, just a price) If anybody has a trusted supplier they'd like to see get more business drop me a PM.

mavericknet

I guess I'll try that advice Alex, I'm not left with much other choice (I'm now two weeks and counting waiting for a ballpark from Motorola).

mavericknet

I work radio repair, I wasn't interested in being a sub-contracter when I contacted Orbacom, I was going for the full boat dealer. If this is one of their "big" dealers and he's only sold 20 consoles total there's something wrong. I guess if I sell five that makes me a strong showing? Plea...

mavericknet

I have gotten used the protectionist crap from mother /\/\, but orbacom too? I speced out a system with the local (as in fifty miles away) orbacom dealer. Gave him a month to get me a full proposal, no word, gave him another two weeks, gave him another week after that for a ballpark and what he had ...

I can mount two antennas, but there would only be about a five foot HORIZONTAL distance between the antenas, would this be a problem?

mavericknet

Hello again,

Is there a base antenna for the following setup, I have 1 LMR-400 cable, and 1 place to mount and antenna that needs to cover ~150-157MHz and 46-47MHz. Anything out there that would do what I need it to do. I assume some type of other equipment might be necessary too.

mavericknet

I must admit though, the intermittent sound dropout is gone, they system is mostly working, though I have noticed we now get more "collision" than we used to.. When two radios key up they absolutly destroy each other. The older repeater would just key a low level distortion but the first t...

mavericknet

Here's the latest update, I was out of town for a day, they called one of our directors and demanded to install the radio due to the "bad signals" coming from "our" radio. True there was a god awful hum comming from the temporary base station that (believe-it-or-not) was construc...

Is there a way to convert a CDM LS series radio into a stock CDM series? I've been told that the CDM1550LS I've got will only do 16 Conventional channels, the rest are all trunking on UHF... No good... Any ideas?

P1225s, good radios and damn cheap too.. I liked mine before I got the new HT.. It was great for what I used it for.. and held up to my abuse pretty well....

Alright, I know this the Motorola forums, but I've learned to this place is more of a two-way radio mecca... so with that, I humbly ask for information on the Midland LMR 70-266-16B, I have stacks of them that were replaced by CDM/HTs, suddenly the local shop (who sold us the HT/CDMs btw) say they d...

I've had enough of dealing with the idio.... err management at Motorola. I've applied three times for the CPS (Customer Programming Software) for the CDM radios I own and am responsible for. I then got hold of a vice president, after a lengthy discourse of how I was directly responsible -under contr...

mavericknet

If you can get CPS, I'm just getting pissed at these F'in people and the licensing, it's like buying a car, and when you got work work on the motor you find the hood was welded shut....... These guys have pissed me off enough to buy one bloody share of their stock so I can go :o at a shareholders me...

mavericknet

I haven't spoken to any engineers, most of the tech now avoid me like the plague because they've realized I'm not satisfied with "Hey these new radios have zones" that they've been giving everybody else. I don't know what brand voters they've got. I'm sure that it's Motorola transmission g...

Well, as of last monday (count the days from my first post, I'm not) and the dispatch channel is finally up and running. To which I've heard through the grapevine to watch out because their looking to call the FCC on people who run over 40 watts (checked this morning, still 50 watts on the license)....

mavericknet

Most of this bull is Motorola's own fault, I bought a CDM1550 a while back, I wanted to buy software to maintain both it and the CDMs at my local ambulance company (non-profit volunteer). Since I owned a communication's company I figured I would just have to go out and buy it... WRONG! :evil: Not on...

How do you three have copies of the CPS? Are you dealers? Did you bribe someone? do you have a contact?

Well, I finally reached my ADM, who was quite rude IMHO, and told me that there was no way/shape/form I could have it there's no chance I could become authorized to do anything in any capacity because the local market is saturated (by a really $hitty dealer IMHO). Unless I was Motorola Authorized or...
