I have used a programmer i made for Kenwood radios to program both 2 and 3 pin pagers. My 3 pins are Ground, DFR and DTR, I read somewhere online to place a 1k jumper from DFR to DTR as 1 pin and ground as the other. I have used this for an Advisor, Adivsor Gold, Advisor Elite.

Some of the FD stations I am aware of have a base radio with a specific talkgroup to alert that specific station then the alerts are set off in house via relays off the radio. - So when a fire call goes out dispatch patches fd main with fd staion 1 or fd station2 and gives out the call.

If I recall from having my Keynote programmed it can have 1 pair of tones and uses long a tone or long b tone for group calls. I see the programmers pop up on E-bay every once in a while, I have not found a dealer who has any new one still available.

What Alpha pagers can be programmed to have a different alert for Flex code #1 versus Flex Code #2(flex code #1 will be individual calls, Flex Code #2 is group call) ?

I know that many Motorla Numeric pagers had an option for different alerts for the differentcap codes in it. I am currently looking for an alpha numeric pager that can be set up to alert differently to a group flex code than the individual code. I would like the group code to be able to be audible w...

I have not tried the Motorola RIB to Kenwood Radio Method but I have been Successful using a Kenwood Programmer I built to program Motorola Advisor and Advisor Gold pagers. The Kenwood programmers are easy to build I you have any knowledge of electrical components and mine cost under $10 to build. S...

I am trying to program an advisor elite using Unielite for the Uni ALpha Elite, The manual for Unielite is the Motorola 56a software manual. It reads the pager just fine but when I go to program it I get an error saying pager cannot be programmed. Any ideas on how to get this to work?

From the information I have seen on the PR1500 a software upgrade to make the radio P25 conventional will be available mid 2006, so I am of the belief that radios currently sold as conventional will be able to be upgraded through Motorola to be p25. I can not find any mention of the MT1500 having a ...

mt 1500 analog trunked and conventional channels- up to 48 channels. Not APCO 25 compatable.
pr 1500 32 conventional channels, upgradeable to p25 conventional- according to Motorola this radio is eligable for purchase using Homeland security grants.
Durability is going to be similar on these radios.

I checked there but the I was unable to get the code plug to load up,I believe it is because the file was renamed from the ssn of the radio.

I received a Maxtrac 840 B7 that has a bad codeplug. I am looking for a copy of one to try and get this radio working. If you have one you are willing to share please email me at stmills@policeone.com.
Thanks,

Currently a m216 with 16 channels and 16 pin board. I would like to make it do 32 channels if possible. I have Radius software v 8.0 and hex workshop.

I have a Radius m216 #D34LRA7PA5CK can this be hex edited to do 32 channels. IF so what needs to be changed? I was able to change it to cover 440 but could not find the bits to edit as listed on the Maxtrac/Radius page.

I am looking to purchase about 10 800 mhz portables for use at my hospitals ER. We need them for our decontamination team and will also use them day to day for part of our team. The biomed department will not approve the use of any uhf or vhf radios and in the end 800 will allow us to pursue interop...

I just received a used visar that when powered up the display shows 88, any ideas of what this means?

What is the average working life for a portable in public safety use? How about a mobile?

How many total users are on the different Public Safety Systems in the New York City Area? From what I am seeing in the Minneapolis/St Paul where a metrowide APCO 25 system is going on the air at this time, getting everyone on the same page(system) can make these things happen. THe system here has S...

Could someone give a simple explanation on how MDC works. I have read through this post that you can do selective calling of specific units, get unit id, and control linked repeaters. Is this done through a key pad on the radio or is it programmed by channel? Do you have to have a display on the rad...

From what I can tell the FCC ID number on the label is also fake. All the Motorola Radios I have begin with FCC ID AZ4. I tried running the listed number through the FCC database and came up with no records matching. ON the Motorola site they list a different number for the FCC Id than is listed on ...

I am in need of a service manual for an HT1000. Just wondering if anyone has it in PDF form and could send me a copy?

Darrell,
I used to work for Target Corporation and all of the licensing is out of Minneapolis MN. They uses the same frequencies in all stores, PL and DPL vary .
VHF 151.6250 and 151.9550
UHF 461.0375, 462.9125, 466.2875, 469.4875.

When a radio is used on an unlincensed frequency and it is found out by the FCC who do they go after- the person using the radio or the owner of the radio? Here is my situation- at my job my company is starting to use radios for all its staff members to communicate to each other. We are getting ours...

Black an white will be cheaper, usually can work in lower light levels than color. Many of the B&W cameras I have used are more tollerant to voltage changes than the color. I have done a lot of Covert camera installations for my previous employeer and I prefer to use the Chip or Board type camer...

So let me get this right- you are sitting in front of a building in an area with heavy drug traffic and gang activity. You are openly carrying a radio that is a couple thousand dollars and is the exact model that the police that patrol the area carry. First seems like a death wish if the area is as ...

I was playing around with a two channel VHF HT1000 yesterday and after holding in the bottom round black button on the side the radio went into a test mode of some sort.
