Hi Just got a few of the Older Astro Spectra VRS-EP Model #P2017B and VRS-750 Model P2081A. I have the connection cables from the VRS to the Astro Spectra. I set up in the CPS for VRS but it seems that the Units are not working. When I restart the radio with the VRS attached the radio does not boot ...

I have an XTS5000 VHF Model III that the DTMF does not work, However it works when in Phone Mode, but the "Hot Keypad" feature does not work, Any suggestions.

USGOVTECH

Due to the fact that the radio has the Front Panel Programming "FPP" the radio is limited to 256 channels and the personalities are fixed to match the zones. Such as Conventional Personality 1-16 zone 1, etc. Also you will discover that Drag and Drop will not work on the zones or personali...

Because these High Tier Radios are customized they are built in the order they are received. For a customer of our who ordered 140 XTL5000 Mobiles with 05 Head's, 11 Quantars, 175 XTS5000 MIII. It took 32 weeks to get everything. Radios started arriving after 9 weeks, portables first in one shipment...

Hi,

I need the pinouts for a Motorola Spectra Consolette. The Accessory 1 and Accessory 2 plugs. Thanks

"Mexi Moto" That is hillarious... You are correct, Many of the people here would qualify as a "Technician" However end users, Firefighters, Police, Special Agents, ETC specialize in their fields, and boy do they earn their pay do not meet the criteria as a "Technician" ...

USGOVTECH

Ok I spoke with Two field Engineers and two Legal Council today from the FCC. According to them it is illegal for any end user to field program a radio, exemptions are Amateur Radio and Technical Staff. Also the clarification of Technical staff. Someone who is technically capable and qualified of re...

The transmit connector is an N Female. The Ethernet is going to be used to link sites together over IP, and future enhancements, no GPS data this I know. So I am told by developers.

USGOVTECH

Well yes it lookes like two mobiles. Apparently this is going to be the package from here on out, according to Motorola. The repeater runs very cool. The large fan on the back behind the Transmitter runs faster when the PA gets warm. The repeater is made in Mylasia for Motorola and is not contracted...

Hello everyone, After investing a great deal of money into Motorola TRBO equipment I decided to look inside one of the XPR 8300 repeaters and took some photos of the inside of the repeater. I hope you all enjoy. FRONT OF THE REPEATER http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb42/usgovtech/XPR_FR.jpg REAR ...

USGOVTECH

Very well said. Some people just dont realize the problems they can get into.

USGOVTECH

This was addressed by the FCC, and they expressed concern for exactly what you have mentioned. You can disagree but it is what it is. I am not to happy about this information. Not everyone understands the technical workings of radios. In fact there was a recent case where a local firefighter program...

USGOVTECH

Hello everyone, We have been working on this issue for many months and the final word from FCC is defined in Title 47CFR Part 90 Sec 90.203. According to the FCC's legal council they have stated that any radio which can be programmed by the operator or user is not legal. The radio must be manipulate...

Got 1 XPR8300 repeater and 4 6550 portables opened and ready to program. I paid $1505 ($5 over Dealer Cost) list is $2500 for the XPR8300 Repeater.

USGOVTECH

You can do one of two things. 1) Call Motorola @ 1-800-422-4210 and speak to the folks at the Depot and get an RA to upgrade the radio. They will send you a request for upgrade form. Fill it out and send the form in and they will send you a cost estimate. 2) Contact the ADM for your area which would...

Ok here is the scoop, Motorola can not legally prohibit the sale of RSS to any person who owns or operates Motorola Radios. Professional series included, They can not legally restrict software sales on a selective basis. This came back from our Attorney who had contacted Motorola Legal. However a li...

I recently began to maintain a fleet of radios, HT750, 1250 and CDM1250, 1550. There are about 380 radios total and Motorola will not allow for the customer to purchase the professional Series RSS, instead they want the customer to take the radios to a Motorola Dealer for programming. Is this legal....

Is it possible to take a codeplug from an Astro Saber III and feed it into an XTS3000 Model III and Visa Versa ?

USGOVTECH

I have several spectras 110 watt without the control head and they are sending a tone when the radio is keyed. Please help

USGOVTECH

Grow up TVSJR.

USGOVTECH

Wow Bruce,

That is a useful list. Thanks

USGOVTECH

Yes that is correct. Great to hear that it works. The Dev should be around 2.83 khz +/- a few hz.

USGOVTECH

Thanks for that information. I didnt know if the 700/800 came in the same manual. Yes the SP version has 3 radios with one head. Thanks again

USGOVTECH

We just got in the SP Tri-Band units in and need the service manual for the 700/800 XTL5000. Does anyone have the Part number of the Detailed Service Manual for the 700/800 unit.

USGOVTECH

The radios may be limiting the Data. Typically the P25 data is 2.83K, The narrow band radios may not work as well.

USGOVTECH

The deviation out of the Portable or Mobile must remain the same as it is transmitted thru the repeater this is why the audio adjust pot is required.

USGOVTECH

I have a Astro Spectra W3 Handheld Control Head and I need to be able to power on the radio on demand. The Ignition sense line is always hot as is the main power line. This is a low power unit. The high power units work fine . It is probibly something very simple

USGOVTECH

Well, I am sorry about that. Whichever radio you use for the transmitter please understand my next statement. PLACE A FAN ON THE PA OF THE RADIO!!!! Otherwise the radio will get to hot and scale back power and could potentially destroy the PA. The repeater will not be reliable for a lot of traffic d...

USGOVTECH

Yes there is. Done it. Not to complicated and can be done. Send me a PM. However P25 data could be an issue. You could do the following. 1225 as Transmitter (Analog) / Astro as receiver Analog or Digital Astro as Transmitter (Analog or Digital) / 1225 as Receiver (Analog Only) I would configure the ...

USGOVTECH

As far as price. The Kenwood will be more expensive. The CDM radio is OK but rx audio is not as good as the Kenwood. Have you thought about ICOM, yes ICOM. The radios out now are just as reliable as the Motorola and Kenwood, not to mention that the ICOM line is priced very well. The Motorola CDM1250...

USGOVTECH

Ok, bought a lot of radios from Gov Auction and they are all Astro Saber III's. When the radios are put into service mode the radio displays "512K" and the flashcode. And guess what the radios are IMBE and not VSELP. Never experienced this before.

USGOVTECH

We are not using the New Windows software. We are using DOS version 12.06 and radios are versions 16.XX.XX. Every quantro that we have works just fine in ASTRO (VSELP), and ASTRO CAI (IMBE).

USGOVTECH

The Quantar and Quantro will support Astro (VSELP), Astro CAI (IMBE) if it is version 16, at least all of my Newer used quantros do. I have quantars with earlier versions that do also support IMBE. Version 20 is not the first version to support IMBE.

USGOVTECH

Ok I got em-

They are the same as the MSF5000. Only require 13.8 on PIN 1 / or PIN 2 - GND is PIN 3 & 4. This is a little diferent than the Quantar, being that the radio requires only 13.8, not 5v as well.

USGOVTECH

What are the Power supply pinouts for the Quantro

USGOVTECH

Well whoever told you that has no clue and I will let them continue to give bad info, that way I will have better chances of gobbling up these radios. Because this one is obviously working just fine. Well I got this one and it was set up for 6809 trunking. I went into the service and redid the Hardw...

Well using the service manual I was able to tune it right up. It is programmed for 448.6125 TX / 443.6125 RX / Narrow band and dual mode. It is currently programmed for VSELP and Analog, However it will work on IMBE as well. But not both VSELP and IMBE at the same time. Wooo Hoooo!!!!

USGOVTECH

How can I get this radio up to 440-450 UHF Ham Band. I have been told that this radio will tune right up?

USGOVTECH

I need to interface a 6809 403-440 Mhz Quantro to an external controller. Need Pinouts for COS, PTT, DISC, GND, TX AUDIO (Flat)

How can I use a 100W astro spectra without control head. Need the pinouts.
