Thanks train radio guy. there is a mention of error 88 in repeater builder. pl out of lock.

saberjerk

Did I post this in the wrong place ? Or just nobody knows about these old radios ?

saberjerk

I have a VHF MT1000 with the 88 vco unlock error. Only this radio is behaving very strangely. I see the sp 88 error pop up when turning on the radio. Doesn't seem to matter what channel it was left on. But when scrolling through the channels if you reach channel 88 the radio locks up. You can't do a...

Ok thanks d119 for the response. I will look into the cps. But that didn't answer my question on the astrolab for astro spectra's. Has anyone tried the procedure in the model specific section for astro mobiles ? Did the B03.04.00 version of astrolab read your spectra ? I think this must be an error ...

saberjerk

In the model specific section of batlabs under astro mobiles there is a section on being able to operate out of band by moding the runtime.odb file. "Out of Band Information If you are using Depot Version B03.04.00 you should be able to change the bandsplits by hex editing the Runtime.odb file....

I have an Astro spectra W9 codeplug archive that is on Q split. My question is can that Q split record be opened up to R or S split ?
Is there any kind of mod to make this record useable ?
thanks

saberjerk

Ok I have a W9 astro spectra archive on Q split. Can that be opened up to include R or S split ?

saberjerk

Thanks Otaku
Yeah I've just about given up.

saberjerk

ok thanks jack

saberjerk

Just like I said !!

saberjerk

The codeplug supersite has the .cpg file but I don't think that will help you.
I have some VHF xts3000 srecs but that's all I have. Sorry

saberjerk

That will require a code plug change !! I've been asking on this forum for weeks and no one will help you.
I've been looking for that exact srec and all I get is crickets.
Sorry I couldn't help you. Believe me if I had that srec I would share it with you. ;-(

saberjerk

Do you have a codeplug ?

saberjerk

I have an astro spectra UHF W9 with corrupted codeplug. Sure would like to find someone who will share an srec from a similar radio.
Has to be srecord or archive format. The .cpg files won't work for this.
thanks

saberjerk

Seems these srecords aren't that easy to get after all !

saberjerk

Well it looks like these srecords aren't that easy to get !

saberjerk

Still looking for a Astro Spectra W9 UHF srec

saberjerk

Still looking for a uhf W9 srec

saberjerk

I guess I have to be more specific about what I need. The code plug I require needs to be of either the archive or srecord format.
Files with .cpg extension won't work for my application as far as I know.
If someone knows how to convert a .cpg file let me know.
thanks

saberjerk

Any help would be great

saberjerk · Re: MTS2000 CPS 2.00.03 900 MHz band edges Thanks for the help

Thanks for the help

saberjerk

Any kind of UHF W9 codeplug would be great if anyone has one.
thanks

saberjerk

Hello thanks for the reply.
Analog would be fine thank you.

saberjerk

Hello wavetar
You wouldn't have a W9 plug for a UHF astro spectra would you ?

saberjerk

Anybody have a UHF code plug for the Astro Spectra that will support a W9 head ?
438-470 or 450-512 would be just fine.
Or does anyone know someone who could help me ?
The radio has a 1meg vocon so just about anything would work.
thanks

saberjerk

Is there a way to change a W4 codeplug to accept a W9 head on an ASTRO SPECTRA?
Man regular spectra's have been hacked to death and they are easy.
Seems people have neglected the astro spectra's and the astro sabers for that matter.
I know I just need to get a W9 code plug. Easier said then done.

saberjerk

I need a UHF W9 astro spectra code plug. Either 438-470 or 450-512. Trunk mount with W9 head. Maybe something similar to this. T04RKH9PW9AN. Anything that will do GMRS and the W9 head. So who do I need to talk to ? Yes I tried the code plug super site and didn't see anything. Any help will be apprec...

saberjerk

Ok Jim I will list the programming setup.
The computer is an older dell notebook with p4 and 1ghz
Motorola rib and cable for low power spectra.
Software is astro spectra CPS ver R05.03.00

Yes considering that I couldn't even read the radio why would I get fail 01/92 ??

saberjerk

Do you know how hard it is to search for 01/92 when the search engine doesn't recognize it because it's too common ??? Anyway I have this astro spectra that has a FAIL 01/92. Was just trying to read the radio but never could. This error pops up and now won't let me even read the radio. model D04RKF9...

saberjerk

spectragod pm sent. let me know if you didn't get it

saberjerk

Not if I'm flashing MT2100 firmware. No smartrib required. But I still need the above mentioned cable

saberjerk

Yes I know I should spend the big bucks and pay Ma M for the real deal !??!?! What would be the best cable, connectors to use to build my own cable for the flashable jedi series of radios ? I see lots of cables on sleazebay to possibly use as raw material for the service cable. Just would like to he...

saberjerk

You are probably right Gary ;-) I did get an email from Andreas though if anyone cares. Thank you Andreas for your email. Now I just need to figure this all out. Hello! You have to change the RF-board and flash the controller with 2100 series firmware. Create a default codeplug with this:http://www....

saberjerk

Yeah I know this is an old radio. Guess no one really cares about these anymore.

saberjerk

I'm pretty sure that if you just dump in any old srec you will get toolproof error. You have to save the original and guard it with your life.
No one here seems to be interested in these radios and their problems anymore. Their afraid of ol ma M !!

saberjerk

I would like to convert my 800mhz MTS2000 into a vhf radio. I have heard that the HT1000 RF boards will work in the MTS2000. I am very aware of the toolproofing issue. And I don't find much on this board to resolve this issue. So to accomplish this feat I'm thinking I will have to convert the radio ...

saberjerk

keep looking there is info around on band edge mods for even the newest cps

saberjerk

there is a lot of info on hacking the bandsplit of the mts2000 rss and cps

saberjerk

That is really old firmware for either MT or MTS.

saberjerk

What is the firmware rev of the radio ? There is a breaking point in firmware rev that will not play well with CPS. It is possible that CPS will never work with 64 bit systems.

saberjerk

Have you tried a real rib with a slower dos only computer ?

saberjerk

How rare are encryption boards for the mts2000 ?

saberjerk

spectragod are you saying just get another mts2000 controller ? How is that going to work ? Even if you have a good s-record it will still be out of tune with your existing hardware. What controller do you suggest ?

saberjerk

Has anyone done more research on the MTS2000 toolproof issue ? There has to be some MOTO gods here that know how to fix this issue

Done a lot of searching and can only come up with the work done by Monty (RIP BROTHER) not much else.
PM me

saberjerk

Has anyone visited the MTS2000 toolproof problem as of late ??? After searching the only serious stuff was from the Monty ??? RIP BROTHER !!! There is a lot of MTS2000 CPS and RSS bandsplit mods on here and other sites. Look here: http://www.batlabs.com/mtsx.html and here: http://www.qsl.net/kb9mwr/...

saberjerk

Has anyone visited the toolproof issue with the MTS2000 lately ? The only serious work I can find is with Monty back on 04. RIP brother.

I found 800mhz codeplugs on the codeplug super site: http://codeplugsupersite.com/
Don't know if their in s-rec format or not.

saberjerk

Someone needs to update this thread. Most of the vital links are dead.

saberjerk

ok great I'll give that a try. The rest of the housing is good just that horribly scratched window.
The plastic polish would have worked except for that AR coating.
thanks

saberjerk

What did you do ? Just push on the window ? These are glued in good to be splash proof.
I do have some model 2 housings from doing conversions.
I'll have to take a look at the windows and see what I can do.
thanks for the help

saberjerk

Well I guess I have 2 questions.
How did you get the old window out ? They are really glued in there.
And where did you get the replacement window ? Or did you rob it from another case?
thanks
