It's a VHF wideband antenna. The model number is H01KDD9DB4AN.

They make the MTX838 with just the MTX label as well. Canadian, yes. Uses MTSX software.

Just curious if anyone here has experience with getting the MTX1500 radios to accept codeplugs from different regions. Unfortunately, The AA version radio does not support emergency operation. I have aquired a good codeplug that is LA, but I need to know if it is even possible.

Please PM me if you ...

Looking for the off chance that someone out there has a latin american VHF codeplug for the MTX1500.

evidently, we all are talking about some completely different duplexers here?[/quote]

I was just mentioning getting a new harness for general info on most duplexers.

I'm sure we are all aware that the "flat pack" mobile duplexers' harness cannot be changed or modified too easily without screwing ...

The duplexer will tune up for you, it just won't be pretty. If it is not for professional use, or you don't need the exact performance specs, then tune her up. If it is for a customer or the like, then call Sinlcair and have them send you a tuned harness for the duplexer and frequency you are using ...

Do you have the talkgroup channels setup for AMSS WAC, or no coverage type at all? I have noticed a bit of a problem with that in the past. It also could be a firmware issue. Pj is right, it would be nice to see the host/dsp and flash, just to make sure.

Zero dbm

Kinda funny that it happened during front face programming. Usually you get an eeprom error, when you cut the power to the radio during programming. Could be some power issues wih the radio, and it may happen again with new eeprom, but then again, it could just be a complete fluke.

Good luck

Check the for sale forum. Batdude has a Quantar for $5500 .

You may also want to make sure that nothing else is using that comm port. Double check see that you are using the proper comm port aswell.

Does it even make the radio say 1 CSQ when you try to program?

What kind of vehicle is it that you want the antenna into? I might be able to find a Compord disguised antenna. You replace your AM/FM antenna with this one, and it goes to a coupling box for the AM/FM deck and the radio. With this option, you can transmit on it, should you stick a radio other than ...

Curious if anyone has any thoughts about my UHF astro spectra W9. It will work perfectly on a trunk system with nothing but great performance, but when I use it on a simplex mode, it will intermittently lock up in TX. I have to power down and restart to get it to clear.

Now, I haven't put much time ...

Well, you can have a lot of fun trying to open the boxes without damaging them and you may have to get out the pry bar. If not, then unless you are a locksmith, you might want to find a really good one. Those Medeco locks are well built. You might be able to spin the cylinder, but it failed to fully ...

If only the scanner folks could manage to produce a scanner with good squelch response and have decent audio that isn't weak, tinny or scratchy.

Even the latest digital scanners are barely audible or have terrible audio quality in analog or digital mode.

LMR400 is fine for indoors. 214 is a good choice and does offer 100% shielding. I would go and get some RG-142 Thermax, personally. You can use RG-58 connectors with it and it is double shielded with foil. It is also smaller and less of a sore thumb than the big stuff.

Never had a problem with my 2670, however, in changes of temperatures, you may need to calibrate it a few times.

The MC2000 option is going to be pretty pricey. However, on UHF and 60 or so feet, I wouldn't use anything other than hardline. Puttng a mobile on the top floor introduces another link to the chain that can fail. MC2000 remotes and their line adapters are fairly robust, but it is the "what if ...

Here's something to promote thought and discussion. We have all seen the little stealth UHF "whipless" antennas that Comtelco and Antenex makes. Those are all in theory, 1/4 wave antennas (0 Gain), correct?

Well how does one of those UHF 0 gain antennas perform compared to a normal UHF 6" 1/4 wave ...

The only radio that the continuous rotary will work on is a top display (b4) model MTSX/MT series. If you want to get the most out of your b7 you have to use the keypad for channel change and zone change via rss, disabling the channel knob completely.

Apparently the human body resonates at about 105 MHz. We must also remember that, in regards to RF exposure, the effects are not accumulative. So, if one happens to be bombarded one day, he/she could just stay out of strong RF fields the next, and so on.

Give Motorola a couple more years for the in field development. Lets not for get that the HT1000's and all the jedi series had the very same problems when they first came out. They just need the bugs worked out.

Any chance you want to share this info with us. I have a B3 converted to a B4 but cannot get any more than 16 channels and 1 zone out of it. It is an MTX. It already does type II trunking.

Have you read the model specific part of the HT1000's in the Batlabs main page? It is very well done and is easily understood. As for the hex editor, it is easy to use, just play with it. If you cannot figure out how the board say to do it I can email you details.

MTX's are just the Canadian general term for MTX2000/4000/8000. The most common nameplate they put on the MTX is "MTX838". They still use the same model number decoding as the HT1000. Most MTX portables will do type II trunking, but hey if it is not part of the radio model number, it won't no matter ...

It's funny because an HT750 label is about twice the size of an HT1250 label and therefore would not fit in the appropriate spot anyway.

It is most likely just a bad connection with the speaker/ mic connector, but I have found that it is best to clean all the metal to metal contacts, just to be sure. Open the case and clean all the pins on the speaker connector. Use a fiberglass brush, or an eraser. Make sure you remove all the ...
