that I would like to turn into a Trunking&SmartNet radio.
I have tried taking a UHF Trunking, SmartNet codeplug and changing the band split to VHF and forcing that into the VHF radio and it works on ...

I have a D43KXA7JA5BK and want to use it to monitor a SmartZone site (only one site-analog talkgroups).
I've followed the steps I can find online re converting conventional radios to trunking ones but I'm still not having success.
I currently have a FAIL 001 error while on a trunking mode. If I ...

Anyone have the 9.03 directions? Is there a search string that I could use to find the right locations?

Thanks for the RSS mod tips on increasing scan list size to 15+1. A 50% improvment is great.
What I'm wondering now is has anyone ever thought of modifying the firmware (I'm assuming that is legal since it seems ok to mod RSS?). What I was thinking of trying to do is use two or more scan lists that ...

I can program buttons for that?!?!? Great. Ok, I'll snoop around RSS to figure out how then.
Thank You!

I know that RSS only supports 10 talkgroups so RSS would be useless in programming the scan list. But I wonder if it is possible to make the scan lists longer? Can the radios code be modified to do this? Is that a feasible thing to do? Has anyone tried?

Is it possible to add a feature that would display the site ID and the RSSI of that site while any Talkgroups are active in a SmartZone system?
Can the EEPROMs be changed to do this? Has anyone on here disassembled the relative code? Is there space in the EEPROM to add a feature?
Would a feature ...

Radiating dummy load! Hmmm I hadn't thought of checking for that...but I will now. In the 2m band of course...just in case I am giving something!

I'm probably wrong about the system being APCO25 then. I know it's a 3600 baud control channel. But your explanation makes sense that I get a 'out of rnge' error since the radio wouldn't be able to 'listen' to a 9600 CC. So now I believe that I should be leaving the system type to II/IIi. After all ...

I need some help getting an astro spectra to trunk.
First the radio/RSS:
I've got model: t04jkh9pw9an with
Flashcode: 1000080000000=
-Q806/G806 IMBE / APCO-25 Digital Operation
-Q351 MODAT Operation
RSS R09.03.00
Firmware 09.51.xx.xx (I guess my RSS is too old to read whole thing?)
Software ...

I'm waiting for a RIB to arrive but in the mean time I'd like to explore RSS. Can anyone please email me a codeplug? I'm assuming they are of a smallish file size?
I have an Astro Spectra but just about any codeplug would probably allow me to get my feet wet.
Thank You.

Thank you!!!

I know...it's should be easily found online...but I can't seem to find it...even thought I've seen it before.
I know there is a website that helps people decode all the options in motorola radios.
Can someone please post a URL.
This is what I want to decode: T04JKH9PW9AN
Thank you.
