PM400 also... proper term is commerical series CPS ver r5.16

n3obl

That version is old. I would be looking for 6.12.05.

n3obl

the 1500 uses a different flex cable from the 2500/5000 control head. Also a 1500 has the headbridge piece built into the head so basically there is no headbridge required. the 2500/5000 require the seperate headbridge for the o series.

Resource center > software >Two-way> Mototrbo > Conventional-Firmware

n3obl

they can be had oem for 40-60 dollars. Kinda cheap to using a homemade cable.

n3obl

It should handle 440mhz with no problem. Sounds like your radio has an issue. needs to start with a tuning with a service monitor to put into alignment.

n3obl

Yeah don't upgrade the firmware. If I left with the firmware that they originally were on there is no alert.

n3obl

Ive been trying to find out if there any real differences

n3obl

No the cps has no selection for battery type. I updated to latest and also got the battery error. I ended up for now putting piece of tape over center contact. Going to use that unmentionable software to try and force and older firmware in.

n3obl

Impres batteries have I believe 18 month warranty. Motorola might warranty it?

n3obl

Not sure if op is still monitoring.

I thought the latest firmware had a drop down to select what version is battery was attached. According to my Mol 7789 shows not available however might be restricted to Canada.

n3obl

I believe you need ver 4 radios to have AES capabilities.

n3obl

They actually do make a different one that was not part of the battery reader kit that you can order separate.

NNTN8619

Its listed for the apx4000 but they use the same batteries.

n3obl

Well I got one here has a smaller heatsink up at top then the middle unit is a huge heatsink. I thought the upper unit is a IPA

n3obl

Just wondering if anyone made any progress with this project?

n3obl

RIP.. Always an upstanding guy with all his dealings.

n3obl

Ok. Maybe my question is actually two parts.
1. Can the XTVA charge an Li-ion batt safely and properly. (ie. the 4100 capacity ones)
2. Does using an xtva invalidate the impres warranty from motorola.

n3obl

Will these units hurt the impres li-ion batt on the 5000? Ive seen references to yes and no.

n3obl

Just to confirm there is a fuse on the control head board also beside the little one in the radio board?

n3obl

I believe there is a setting under radio wide where you set the number of remote heads. I believe o series can have up to 4 heads connected to radio.

n3obl

There is software out there that allows people to do change the flashcode to increase the options in the radio.

n3obl

Lots of fire depts and ems services in PA are non profit agencies that are providing a service. There are some that are part of the governmental arm thereby can list themselves as a government entity.

n3obl

I did one through APCO and it took a while to process. Probably due to the review for no fee processing for non profits. Ive see it go both way quick and slow.

n3obl

I think the 327 cost is if you are a dealer. Its 393 retail.

n3obl

No the factory wont touch it.. You would need to find someone with the elusive software.

n3obl

pics are nice also!

n3obl

I used a towel between the pilers and knob and pulled it off.

Frank

n3obl

I believe they are NLA. Also on a side note my knob is stiff. I heard you can pull it off and reseat it. Do I need a special tool for that.

n3obl

Use something like a 20-30 amp astron power supply. If you want to make sure all the radios dont transmit use rx only to prevent transmit.

n3obl

My feeling is they usually just replace the unit under flat rate.

n3obl

I believe that rf board is 470-478 mhz so you just need crystal and retuning.

n3obl

Maybe bad keypad.

n3obl

I believe it is after the segment test.

Ive seen 3.x, 4.x and 9.x 3's only did nicad, 4 supported nimh and 9 are tri chem.

Must use the correct adapter.

n3obl

When u turn it on. If it shows 9.? On the display during self test it will support Li-on.

n3obl

It will be a real :o storm!

n3obl

You try escomm?

I get a lot of parts from him.

n3obl

I just did one through apco back in june. Finally got to the fcc in july and its been offlined since then for major review. Is there a contact at the FCC i can get in touch with to find out whats going on with it.

n3obl

Looking for the part number for the speaker for an mt2000 portable. In the manual it says to refer to electrical parts misc list and i cant find anything listed.

n3obl

For remote mounting the mototrbo radio. Is the cable seperate from the remote kit itself.

Frank

n3obl

I have one that has extremely low audio. Wanted to find out what kinda price to repair them.

Frank

n3obl

Just picked up an ML900 with 1gb ram and the video on youtube is choppy on playback. It has DDR400 modules. Would updating to 2gb help with that.

Frank

n3obl

No cause you are not changing head type.

n3obl

No cause you are not changing head type.

n3obl

Have a high power astro spectra plus mobile here and im trying to use the same cable that i use on the w series xtl5000 radios that plugs into the mic jack and ribless. Is this the correct cable?

Frank

n3obl

Well i tried everything in this topic and my 5000 is still bricked. Any other suggestion before i try and depot it. If anyone knows someone whom might be able to recover it, contact via PM.

n3obl

I usually have nothing but problems when doing mobile firmware updates. I have all the different OEM cables.. Front , rear , usb, serial..

Portables now usually have no problems.

n3obl

here are the card numbers in my unit.

we use a 9084 card to interface to the radios.

Also i cant find out info on these..
9692
9695
9084
9095
9096

n3obl

Those definately will NOT do ADP.

n3obl

I thought the console was set up to decode it but ive also heard you need an add on card to decode the mdc1200.

We are hooked into mastr 3 repeaters. (I dont think the radio makes the difference as the console does the decoding.)

n3obl

Kinda looks like a efj 5100 with the speaker on the bottom!
