Jim, Thanks for the reply. Currently the page group being sent via the console consists of "Call Alert" and the audible QC tone. The QC tone is not being sent for any other purpose other than the audio. Here is a link to what the audio sounds like at the station that is having the issue. h...

randymince

What could cause a radio to receive multiple call alert tones? This is also intermittent. All programming dealing with call alert is set up correctly in the subscribers radio. The symptom the user initially gave me led me to believe that the "call alert tone auto reset" was not enabled. Af...

The first part of the question was generic, since they were demos, I just wanted an overall opinion if anybody had experience with the radios. The next question was thrown out there for my own knowledge, because tech support wasn't responding in a timely manner, and I was curious about the whole pro...

randymince

Looking for overall opinion on BK Radios, got some demo units, KNG-P800. Initially going through some of the radio programming I had a couple of questions, regarding importing software system keys to populate trunking systems, so we can actually demo these things. The help file says the system key i...

Just popped back in for a while, and have moved on since the last issue.

I forgot the +, was inferring AES, just typing a bit fast and missed it on the proof reading.

Thanks for the heads up though.

I have a question regarding how the encryption is handled between the KVL 3000 and for my specific example a Harris AN/PRC-152. I know part of the APCO P25 software option available from Harris is the ability of the PRC-152 to accept AES 256 encryption. My question is regarding the key management, I...

Has anybody replaced the aluminum housed resistor that is located on the side of the power supply housing? It shows as being a 1ohm, 25W, 1% tolerance resistor I have found a couple of good part numbers, but after reading some of the problems with power supplies I am just curious if anybody has repl...

randymince

For sure, that is something that was done pre trunking migration. Bill have you experienced hearing the talk permit tone like I described?

randymince

The talk permit tone can be heard before audio while being received by other subscriber units. This happens even with the technician handset directly connected to the IP-223. This is not an issue with our current users, but I just want to know why it is doing this, because for some instances, it cou...

randymince

Just making sure... you want ANY user to be able to ack a emergency on the TG or a dedicated radio at a dispatch center? Yes, that is correct. I have tactical enabled, with no revert, the emergency signal will go out over the selected TG. From previous programming at the CPS level I could get the e...

randymince

I had already tested the emergency function and between TG settings and Codeplug options I was still getting the same result, just wanted to see if anything else was out there. I already had reached out to someone else and they said a console/RCM is required to acknowledge, so I just got further con...

randymince

Any suggestions by anybody?

randymince

The sites I support have recently migrated to a trunking system. We have users that were previously utilizing the emergency function, conventional. While operating in conventional mode the user would initiate emergency and the audible tone would continue until a user acknowledged it, this allowed ti...

randymince

Most of our fleet has R12. There were never any issues until we started to populate the trunking portion of CPS. There have been some strange issues aside from the cloning issue causing the 01/82 error, such as a saved codeplug having some of the values revert back to default, such as the frequencie...

randymince

Recently our radio system was upgraded from a conventional to trunking system, of course this involved reprogramming our entire fleet, this is where problems started occurring. With the same XTS-5000 radios we have used the most current version of CPS as it became available, with all the functions s...

randymince

Cool, thanks for the info. So for the basic battery eliminator like the one to plug into cig lighter, it is just a battery housing with a constant 7.5v direct applied dc voltage, correct? So what is the benefit, other than easier connection to a variable power supply, with the official motorola test...

randymince

Is there a cheaper alternative to the MOTOROLA REX4424A official battery eliminator? The battery eliminator will be used for testing/tuning only. If you were to purchase the battery eliminator that has the cig lighter adapter could you cut the end off and connect to a dc power supply without damage ...

Here is the only link I have found with a picture of it.

randymince

I have seen pictures of the IP-224 and read about it being displayed at shows, but I can't find any specs on it. From the picture I saw it looks like they are going with the same look as the HB4, not the traditional matte black like before with the 223 and HB3+. Does anybody have any specs on this? ...

cool, that's what i was looking for, thanks

Alex, are you using a DB9 serial connection direct to pc, or using a RIB ? There are certain locations where this cable would be handy if it was possible to connect direct to serial without the RIB. I know the cable pin out was used for a RIB, I was asking if it was possible to terminate to DB9 and...

If you have never set up paging it's really easy.

randymince

Yeah, created a pop up with buttons designated for each DTMF string command.

randymince

I got to thinking about the timing, and took the .wav files into Audacity and inserted silence of 20ms between each segment. After I did this, I used a simple drag and drop DTMF decoder that I had found before, it produced results. Again I just took the .wav file, that was the recorded DTMF, opened ...

randymince

As far as the audio, I was just trying to get the actual dtmf. Luckily the Whelen E-2010 Encoder has an audio out, so it just took terminating into the appropriate terminal on the back and a 3.5mm into the soundcard. I have been able to record the dtmf in .wav format with the actual DTMF string, but...

I am trying to find a dtmf software decoder that can decode a .wav file, or pc soundcard input. I use a Whelen mass notification system and am trying to enable users to send out "call keys" via Telex CSOFT. The only programs I have tried don't handle the faster 40/20 spacing Whelen uses fo...

How did you like the class? I attended the Dallas,Texas training/cert in September. I am responsible for around 25 IP-223's, some PIB/TID, 6 IP2002's and about 24 csoft users. If you have any questions, suggestions hit me up.

I have multiple KVL's both 3000 and 3000 plus with different firmware versions, some will key the DIU's, some won't work at all. What do I need to be looking for as the reason some of the KVL's won't work? Is it a firmware version issue? Currently the ECM's are DES only. Any help would be awesome.

I hear you on that, before I was working with General Dynamics supporting the military, I was working as a Motorola tech in Texas. I had never dealt with rekeying, because they didn't rekey at all.

randymince

Awesome. Have you dealt with the Tactical OTAR at all? Any info would be awesome as far as best ways to execute it. We are looking at ways to cut down on touching every users radio during a rekey. We are on a conventional repeated system, so the Tactical OTAR is a quick alternative to a full blown O...

What is the process once you have the PCMCIA card for the flash upgrade? What connection is made, and what software if any is used to perform the actual upgrade? I have never done an upgrade for a KVL, but am about to, so I wanted a heads up. It sucks that you can no longer upgrade 3000's in terms o...

What are the changes/additions with this upgrade. We are upgrading an XTS 5000/XTL fleet from R4.80.00 to R11.00.03, just wanting to know what to expect.

randymince

As far as the XTS-5000's go, the algo's are there, DES XL and OFB as well as AES. As far as PID/CKR, I know that it is just key management and doesn't designate anything to do with the actual algo used. In the programming of the radios, used DES-XL default is not enabled. This thread was started pur...

randymince

Ok here is some more info, last night I configured 2 KVL's, one for DES-XL the other for DES-OFB, both with the same key, I loaded the key created from each kvl into 2 XTS-5000's, one with XL the other with OFB. They are able to talk fine. What is the main difference between XL and OFB, is there a d...

randymince

After finding out that with 2 KVL's in different modes with a common LID/CKR being able to load a key, I have another question regarding encryption interoperability. Where is the difference and limitation in the variations of DES keys i.e DES OFB/DES XL, I know there are variations with XL regarding...
