I'm not familiar with the CP200d so this could be out-of-date. According to these docs while the CP200d does do conventional Mototrbo it doesn't do IP Site Connect: https://www.motorolasolutions.com/content/dam/msi/docs/business/product_lines/mototrbo/_documents/_static_files/mototrbo_ataglance_bro...

First, if you are IP SITE CONNECTING a UHF system with a VHF system, you cannot roam between sites anyway. The only thing the IPSC enhancement gives you is the ability to enter a channel pool and roam list. Just put the frequencies, color codes, talk groups and time slots into the CP200d and it wil...

Sorry to dig up a dated thread. I'm just now getting around to starting this project. I came across some documentation that stated that the CP200d is not compatible with IP Site Connect. Is it just that it won't seamlessly roam between zones or will it not function at all? I just need to pass both t...

I have a VHF MOTOTRBO system that has been running pretty stable for several years, but we've always had difficultly with consistent coverage inside of certain buildings. I need to cover an area of about 1.5 square kilometers with multiple large disjointed buildings. 95% of the users are on 5w porta...

This is an interesting problem that we also have on a system with an identical problem that we can't seem to find the source of. On our system it is a MTR2000 that has been online for over 6 years with no problems. Suddenly we started getting the same intermittent indications as listed by the OP, w...

I tried repeatedly to get the system to fail and produce the noise yesterday, but it wouldn't do it. We had a service monitor hooked up in-line with on the RX side and didn't see anything unusual. Also took the opportunity to measure power at the duplexer output, ~19W forward, ~1.5-2W back. Repeater...

I've opened this announcement up to allow 'newly registered users' to reply in the thread, specifically for the ones that may not be so 'new' anymore. As you may or may not know, there is no automatic trigger to move 'newly registered users' over to 'registered users' based on time, or post count, ...

Can you post the audio? Is it like a grinding noise? I had one that had a similar problem, never could sort it out, but it went away when the repeater narrowbanded. We moved to narrowband quite a while ago. I don't really think I would call it a grinding noise. I have uploaded an audio sample to th...

It sounds like you may have a low-level spur being generated by the transmitter, or a low-level IM product generated by the antenna. Can you perhaps put a tap inline with the receive port of the repeater and sniff that? I'll try to barrow a service monitor again and give it a shot. In reference to ...

I have an odd issue with a VHF XPR8300 in analog mode. This install has been running largely problem free for more than 4 years. Recently at the end of a transmission the repeater would stay keyed with both TX & RX indicators illuminated indefinitely until you either power cycled the unit or rep...

So far that's all I have been able to accomplish too.

Another good way to remove those antennas is with a piece of fishing line.

jasong224

If it can’t be done internally has anyone used an external controller to accomplish this? In particular the Motorola ZR310?

Thanks for any help anyone can provide?

jasong224

On the XPR8300 repeater can you add multiple analog channels (same frequencies, but with different PL/DPL codes?) I see the CPS software seems to allow it, but I have not actually tried this on a production unit?

jasong224

After reviewing some information and talking with one of our area reps we are going to go with a newer radio (CM200 / CM300) and remote stations. I guess the MaxTracs will just go back into storage, I didn’t foresee using them very long since we are going to be changing over to narrowband operation ...

jasong224

I suppose that would work, but I don’t think the radio in room A would hear the transmissions of the remote console in room B or the inverse is that incorrect?

Thanks,

Jason

The current system is operated out of an office type environment, currently there is a single radio in a relatively central location. The desire is to have a second radio located in an adjacent room. For ascetic reasons we were hoping to not have to install another outdoor antenna and a second feed ...

jasong224

By the way these only have the 5-pin accessory connector on the back.

Thank you for your reply,
I honestly am not really familiar with this radio and documentation is being hard to come by, everything I have learned about it has come from two sites, this being one of them.
For the proposed solution would I need a third radio?

Thanks,
Jason

jasong224

Please forgive me if this is a relatively dumb question, but what would the most efficient way be to share a single antenna and primary feed line with two VHF base station radios? Currently the two radios are older MaxTracs operating at 25 watts. Both radios are on the same frequency. (155.XXX) Any ...

Has anyone used the battery revert option on the XPR8300? If so what battery have you used and does the internal power supply do a good job of maintain the battery charge?

Thanks,

Jason

They are kind of expensive, but on occasion where multiple channels are needed I have use these products from Aurora.

Hope this helps,

Thanks for the quick responses; many of the products from Middle Atlantic are exactly what I need. I honestly was unaware of this company and had previously only used products from Atlas Sound or cheap knockoff that never held up.

Thanks again,

Jason

What brand and design of equipment racks does everyone here seem to prefer? Most of the time a simple 12 unit rack is adequate for my needs. In the past I have used a lot of Atlas cabinets for housing my rack mountable hardware, but they have become increasingly more expensive and are not as readily...

Glad I asked because I thought they were both N.

Thanks for the quick reply,

I can’t seem to find the appropriate document for verification. Can someone tell me if the connections on the back of Motorola XPR-8300 are BNC or N-type?

Thanks,

Jason

jasong224

Thanks for the advice,

Jason

jasong224

Sorry, I forgot to include that little detail.
Frequencies are 155.145MHz & 158.835MHz
Repeater will be 50-watts

Thanks,

jasong224

What would you suggest? Something like the 64536/ENC?

Thanks for your help,

Jason

Has anyone used this duplexer? Are there better products in this price range for a duplexer with a minimum frequency separation of 3MHz?
http://www.txrx.com/product/product_vie ... 8B041B8B78

Thanks,

jasong224

Sorry, forgot to mention frequencies are about 155MHz and 158MHz.

Thanks,
Jason

jasong224

Does anyone have a recommendation for a duplexer with a minimum frequency spacing of 3MHz for this repeater? So far I have received suggestions for a Celwave 5085-3 and an EMR 64536, rack-mount would be preferable (the EMR is,) but are there better options out there that I should be aware of at this...

Is there a better alternative from the Motorola product line? 100% continuous duty is not required, but reliability and longevity are key factors. Will be used with approximately 40 mobile/portable units in a structurally dense environment. Thanks for the help, I have been browsing this site for a w...

Is anyone using the Motorola XPR8300 repeater on the VHF band in analog mode? If so have you experienced any problems with the unit? Would you recommend this unit for general/light repeater use? Are they still releasing frequent firmware updates or has the product somewhat stabilized? Any advice wou...
