Have you tried copying all the .dll files from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Motorola to the C:\Program Files\Motorola\MCS2000 or wherever the .exe lives?
That has usually worked for me.

The Pro Radio CPS is written in Visual C++ and Amulet.

Amulet, I believe is for the user interface.

Hi, Been reading a little about JTAG interfaces for satellite receivers and found one website (in Chinese) that dealt with Motorola Pro Radios. http://www.avr.com.cn/MOTOROLA/ I am under the impression that information/codeplug/flash/firmware can be read and written to the radio outside of programmi...

EMS Geek

I've run into similar problems: On the programming end, had to use a 386 laptop running DOS - worked fine after that. The continuous beep tone may be the result of a missing reference oscillator - had gotten government decommissioned radios in the past and they remove that module to disable the radi...

Hi, I have a surplus VHF Sytems Saber that appears to indicate special options on the ID label: H553AASP H617AGSP H543AASP Model: H43YUN5170CN I assume it is H99QX-053H, not listed on the label and I have not read the radio yet.

EMS Geek

Hi, Anyone know much about this brand? I have what appears to a Motorola Advisor Gold pager though labeled/rebranded as Unication. Apparently this pager also has its own programming software (PF169), which I don't have. Is there any way to modify the pager for use with the Motorla Advisor Gold softw...

EMS Geek

Hi, I had the same problems in the past and it was due to using the wrong software. I was working with an Advisor Gold. If I recall correctly, there were several differant applications, something like Advisor, Advisor Gold, Advisor POCSAG, Advisor Flex, etc. The Advisor pager I had had a serial numb...

EMS Geek

Sorry for the delay and ambiguity, I appreciate your input. What I was looking for was a very general idea of what is necessary for a simple system based on VHF in a 110 sq. mile city/suburban area. Basically something to the effect of a real transmitter, a repeater, etc. and does not have to be in ...

EMS Geek

Hi, I am looking for some ideas on upgrading the current system that is used at work. The present system is a 40 watt VHF mobile radio on a 80' tower that attempts to cover approx. 110 square miles. The dispatch center is 45 miles away and remotely connected via a phone line. Needless to say there a...

EMS Geek

Hi,

Check to see if you have enabled the 'busy channel lockout' option, as this will disable the monitor function.

Eric

EMS Geek

So far the feedback has been all bad news.

There must be something positive about owning one, afterall there are some out there being used.

Thanks again, Eric

EMS Geek

Hi, Does anyone have the time or interest to explain the differences between the two radios. Searching through old topics did not seem to yield much info. Reading posts about RSS for the Saber SI, it would seem that both radios share similar internal components. If the SI can be read/written with MT...

EMS Geek

Hi,
If I recall correctly and it was not changed in the RSS, press and hold the top blue button above the PTT for a few seconds.

Eric

EMS Geek

First, it must be enabled to allow the user to make such changes - don't remember seeing this option in the software, but each of the VX-3000's I've seen has had alpha displays. From their ad slick "8 Character Alphanumeric Display (48ch & 120ch version)" Paraphrased from the manual &q...

Has anyone heard about this? One of the towns near me is switching over to UHF LTR trunked system. Naturally, I asked what brand of radio they are changing over to. To my suprise, he told me Motorola, it will be a new version of a HT1250 and that they were going to be the first in the country to use...

EMS Geek

Hi, I encountered a similar problem while doing a HT1250, was attempting to insert a channel and rename some other channels. Apparently that caused some conflicts between scan lists and zones and who knows what else. My work around was to save after each step until I hit a problem. By over simplifyi...

Hi, I am running into a problem with a GM300, upon power up I get what I believe to be an error message that scrolls across the display. It reads SJ1 and then appears normal.

If I understand correctly, by adjusting the intersequence delay, you can space apart the individual tones (data words) that make up the burst. See under Signaling/MDC System - Advanced tab The software warns you not to mess around with this. Obviously it may affect decoding on the other end. I had a...

So, is it worth $290?

It seems to have several desirable features

Hi,
I just came across an offer for a GP2000.

Does anybody know much about it? It looks like a FRS radio, though implies it is a commercial model.

Being keypad programmable, I take this to be a foriegn model, maybe a GP68 upgrade?

Thanks, Eric

EMS Geek

Hi,
I have a recurring illegal frequency error on my saber that occurs when I try to program in 155.1075, indicating it must be a 5 or 6.25 MHz multiple.

Is there a way to force this frequency? I have tried shift+enter, etc., though no success.

Thanks, Eric

EMS Geek

Hi,

Besides from Motorola, does anybody know of a sorce for the accessory boards for the SM50/SM120? If I recall correctly, there is no signalling capability without an add-on board.

Thanks, Eric

EMS Geek

Hi,
Now that the 1550 is gaining popularity, does anyone know how to convert a GP1280 (Euro version of the HT1550) to the American HT1550.

My assumption is that it lies in the firmware as opposed to the hardware.

Thanks, Eric

EMS Geek

What does the RSS actually do in the radio? I know it let you program freqs, pls, etc., but how does it do that? If you were to open up a codeplug, what would you find? I have looked at them with a hex editor and messed around with the mods noted in the model specific area. Obviously, there must be ...

EMS Geek

Hi,
I was just taking a look at a SM120 and noted the generic signalling option. The radio can do MDC if the board is installed, which it wasn't.

I have seen this in other radios but what can you do with it and how do you set it up? It appears that you need enter hex values.

Thanks, Eric

EMS Geek

Hi,
I saw a scan model MT500 on eBay, appeared to have a hump and a LED bargraph on top, could this possibly include the tone board?

Hi,
Do you have a UPI that you can sell or do build any?

I have been trying for a month to reprogram an Advisor Gold without success. I have tried three different interfaces and nothing.

Thanks, Eric (ericb23@aol.com)

EMS Geek

The ear microphone part number is bdn6641a. There is also a remote PTT that connects to the base of the interface.

I will be placing another new PTT interface on eBay and a few new PTT/VOX interfaces also. Unfortunately, these packages were the ones without the earmic.

Hi, Do any of you build small projects? I am trying to build an interface for a Motorola Advisor Gold pager and have yet to find success. It appears to be a simlpe project, 4 resistors, a 74HC14 IC, a Schottky diode, and a capacitor. I added a voltage regulator, a LED and a 9v hookup. I have built t...

EMS Geek

Also, the 74HC14 uses a Schottky diode betwwen the Tx/Rx lead, but unfortunately I don't know which type and I cant get ahold of the author.

Hi,

I am under the impression they are a multitone burst as opposed to individual tones, but I just can't seem to find the info.

Hi, Does anyone know the part number for the reference oscillator for a VHF saber? These radios are too cool to just be collecting dust.

EMS Geek

Hi,
I had a similar problem awhile back, fixed it by rebooting the computer in straight DOS. I have had no problems since.

Other replies sent to me also suggested possible hardware/controller damage, but fortunately not the case.

Hope that helps, Eric

EMS Geek

Hi,
Is this a gov't surplus radio? I have a few that do the same thing and it turned out they were missing the reference oscillator. I am told this is part of the decommissioning process.

Hope this was pertinent, Eric

EMS Geek

Thank you all for the info, I appreciate the time taken to help me out.
