With only Q53 ,you need the programming dongle adapter which attaches to the side of the radio's accessory jack that looks like a audio adapter on the radio for the FPP func to show on the radio soft menu display. Your radio only has FCC FPP option.Most XTS5000 with FPP has both Q52 Federal FPP,Q53:...

The only way I know of is by using a certain software that is only released to Motorola repair depots that was never "officially" released to the end user/public.

Notice I mention "Offically".

I think the 2K memory Sabers you can put in channel text but you can't get both channel text and scan at the same time?You can't use both at the same time.One option at a time.

I would completely support a rule requiring explicit statement of intent, a set price (negotiable is fine, but none of this "make me an offer" nonsense) and pictures to be included with any initial for-sale post. Even Hamsexy is ahead of the curve on this one. Seconding this. I support th...

Welcome to the board.

Yes.The Astro Saber will work with the Saber VHF III if you are transmitting and receiving in the clear with the Saber III but if you have the secure switch enabled,no.

Just curious if anyone has loaded this firmware in their XTS5000 with the "RAMxxx"cpu and if the issue with the double beep bug has gone away??

kotaguchi

Thanks for all the info guys.The buyer says Motorola decided to allow the radio on their trunked system so problem solved
.

kotaguchi

So I sold a XTS2500 700/800MHz Model 3 to a guy. He seems to had buyer's remorse and returned the radio. When I got it back,and read the codeplug and then tried to rewrite to the radio,the CPS is asking for the "ASK"key. Looks like they programmed analog Smartzone . If I send the radio bac...

Its been a while I programmed the P110 so my question is does the 6ch model have scan capability?

Thanks in advance.

kotaguchi

Oh,my mistake.I heard from some folks that said it was coming but if it will stay free,that's even better.I got two in my collection I use.

kotaguchi

Not now but its coming....In the future.Motorola will require a USB flash key drive.

kotaguchi

Even if you can get the ZIFF connectors for the board,it will take a very good hand solder experienced person to use a heat gun or Pace Heat wand,plenty of flux and good pair of tweezers to heat the part and remove the older connector and then while the pad is warm,to drop the new connector on the s...

kotaguchi

No.You will have to get a UHF-2 S split 450-520MHz RF board and switch out the rf boards out of the radio.Then,you will need to get the radio's vocon board flashed with a "S"split code plug. The RF board is $450.00 list. Very rare to find one used or NOS on the secondary market like here o...

]The new mic cost I think like $999.00+.It does not have a lcd display on the front.That is a piece of reflective strip on the front(Check out 1:04 on the below Youtube video.)The LED on the front suppose to be able to work on strobe mode that is bright enough to cut through the smoke from what I ha...

kotaguchi

So there is a outer lens that cover the actual lcd?

Good to know in case it gets scuffed and needs replacing.

Alot easier now I see just to replace the outer lens cover than before when the lens was built in the housing like the XTSs..

kotaguchi

Just was curious what the lcd display is made of? The Astro Saber,XTS3000,XTS2500,XTS5000 housings all had a outer plastic lens built in the housings that went over the actual lcd assembly. But now that with the APX7000,the lcd does not have a outer lens cover to protect the actual lcd... Is the lcd...

kotaguchi

Well,

I think only way to show the radio is working is for the seller to post a pic of the radio screen on and with a piece of paper to show his Ebay screen name.

kotaguchi

I remember selling Matt Blaze a XTS5000 UHF M3 and a XTS5000 UCM a while back on Ebay.Glad the radio & module went for some good use...

kotaguchi

Oh,no..... I think the guy is at it again with that radio: http://www.ebay.com/itm/250876902745 You won't be trying to sell the radio again in the same cond,would you?? Did you run the serial no trough NCIC using a source like www.trace.com Did you get the bricked radio issue cleared up??Or is it st...

When I worked at a rental house in Hollywood,Ca we used rubbing alcohol which helped to sanitize the radios and help kill the smell of tobacco left by smokers who used the radios. Our radios were used by folks in the film industry and also the adult film industry which were very active renters from ...

Don't forget the Motorola Radius P500. It was a unique that it was basically a Motorola Radius Dealer Line P200 except in 800MHz analog/non trunked conventional only. It was a way for Motorola back then to allow Motorola Radius Dealers to sell 800MHz non trunked conventional only portables. It did n...

kotaguchi

Anyone know if the latest firmware for the APX7000 portable came out yet from Moto??Firmware Ver R06.00.00??

kotaguchi

Yeah,he wants it done practicality for free.LOL.I too told him $70.00 which is $20.00 for the first radio and $10.00 for each extra radio to clone and he said he used to work at a radio shop and he knows how quick it is to

clone a radio and said that$10.00 for each extra radio is outrageous.

kotaguchi

Yes....

kotaguchi

Just my two cents worth but it takes balls to say"The Radio is being sold for parts/non working/repair because I have no battery and no charger to test it with"when he admits here and on RR that he has a fully charged battery to test the radio but says the exact opposite on Ebay.....Also u...

kotaguchi

You will have to flash that Vocon board as a VHF Model I,2 or 3 and after you are able to do that,the radio will need a full alignment to VHF since the vocon board was aligned for 800MHz.

Will take time and skill to do that besides needing a service monitor.

kotaguchi

Its possible the radio was "bricked"by a dept that detected unauthorized user ID on their trunked system and send out the "RADIO INHIBIT"tx to the radio.Locking the radio,making it a brick.Only way to unbrick is a trip to the Motorola Depot and Moto will not unbrick the radio if ...

kotaguchi

If the radio is no longer under warranty,there are alot of great techs here on Batlabs that can check out the radio for a reasonable small rate.

kotaguchi

sure am.

Hi, I wanted to know if this part for the APX Platform radios,what type of connector does it have on it? Is it a 6 Pin hirose connector? I have not been able to locate any pics of it and am stumped on this.. Seems all the surveillance earpiece kits for Mototrbo/APX already have the correct audio con...

kotaguchi

Yes,it will work.Same connector.

CPS R02.03.00 MTS2000

Was the last version released by Motorola.I wonder if R02.03.00 is still available from Moto??

kotaguchi

The 8 inch is great if you have freqs from the low 136MHz to the upper 174MHz but if you have freqs in like the 150-160MHz range,the 6 inch band specific antenna would be more ideal since the antenna is specifically tuned to that range.

kotaguchi

The only ones on Ebay for $499.00 is just the plain KVL3000(NON PLUS MODEL). As others have said,the Plus models are the only models capable of of having or being upgradeable to include AES-256 algorithm. Normally,when I have seen the KVL3000+ with DES(DES-OFB/DES-XL)and AES-256,ON eBAY,They sell fo...

For the benefit of those of you without a APX7000,I posted some videos of my APX7000 if you like to check them out.

http://youtu.be/QnFz5ofTyZI

Sorry about the video quality.Need to get a better camera and more practice using the camera.

Regards,

kotaguchi

Wow.Nice.I think I now really want to buy one!!I better contact escomm and get a price?LOL....

kotaguchi

I believe if you have verR02.11.00 and above,you will get ability to program splinter freqs in. ie:6.25 spaced channels..

Remember that firmware in a MT2000 is embed in the hardware rom chip and can't be flash upgraded like the mTS2000 can be.

kotaguchi

Check your pm..

Just wondering if anyone out there that has the Motorola OEM Imres Dual slot with display model charger can post a pic? Motorola only provides a black and white pic.I am looking for a close up of pic of the charger. Also,any comments on it would be appreciated. I want to buy one but would like to he...

Is the screen size on the APX6000 about the same size as that on the XTS5000 portable?

kotaguchi

I have heard that if you were to have upgraded the firmware above R04.XX,to the R05.xx,you loose FPP function if you have both Q52 and Q53 in your flash code.Those that only has Q52 without Q53 is ok is what I have heard.

What is your firmware?HOST&DSP?

kotaguchi

You have to provide more info.

Does it have the original Motorola model no/serial no on the back of the radio,if so,what is the model no on the tag?

What is the model no and that comes up on SERVICE mode?

Host and DSP in service mode?

kotaguchi

I have a question for owners of the AXP7000 Model III. So after the bright display light goes off,the display back light is dim but stays on.Is this normal for the back light to stay on? I remember on the XTS5000 Model III,the display would be have no back light on. http://www.pix8.net/pro/pic/4645S...

kotaguchi

Yes.Since you have both Q52,Q53,you will not loose FPP.When you say"The radio itself was last programmed with a HOST CPS R14 DSP 14",those are the radio's firmware and DPS,not what the radio was programmed with. Your radio was last programmed with CPS Ver R15.00.00 because"nextgen on ...

From what I have heard,Motorola wants$155.00 for the part,the Bluetooh module. Then another $400.00 for the flash upgrade to support the bluetooh option and the labor to install the bluetooh daughter board. It has to be sent back to Moto for the module installation and the flash code option to be fl...

I use a Panasonic Toughbook CF-29 1.7GHz Pentium M cpu notebook to program all my radios. It has a very reliable built in 9 pin serial port on the back.

Those Mototrbo antennas are also fairly cheap at around $10.00 list for those stubby antennas while the Jedi/XTS and Astro Saber stubby antennas are about $15.00+for the stubby antennas. http://www.pix8.net/pro/pic/4645SkwIa/11564010.jpg I got one of the stubby Motortrbo antenna on my AXP7000 on the...

I was programming my APX 7000 and noticed their is no option for QCII.

I don't use the feature but just notice the option is not there.

Has Motorola done away with QCII on the APX platform?

kotaguchi

I think they were around $800.00 list??That is what I remember what my Motorola dealer price book said around the late 1990's when I worked for a Motorola dealer.
