I ordered two of these the other day and just read this thread. The standard XTS5000 belt clips that I have all have plastic hinge plates that pop off the battery way to easy so I ordered the HLN6875A because it looks like it has a metal hinge plate. I am used to the MTS2000 belt clips and they ...

I have a 486 that can be switched between two CPU clock speeds, 25 and 33 MHz. I have R03.00.02 and it will only read and write at the 25Mhz clock speed. I get an error if I try it at 33 MHz. See if you can lower your clock speed at the keyboard, or by changing a BIOS setting.

No, it cannot. I have never heard of someone trying very hard, however.

I would like to convert a 440-470 Systems Saber III to 488-520. Can someone tell me what the part numbers are for the FDS and the receiver?

Synthesizer NLE9464 488-520 Mhz
PA NLE9474 488-520 Mhz 5W
FDS ???
Receiver ???

Thanks,

I just got one of these from eBay and it came with the AC power cable. The internal power supply induces a hum/buzz onto the FM audio when I transmit.

I am about to dismantle the guts inside and put some filters on the DC output of the supply! Has anybody experienced this problem with one of these ...

kc2dla

Yes, that is the feature I was meant to refer to. I have a VHF Saber III with two priority scan lists and haven't had the problem.. yet. Good luck!

kc2dla

The sabers and systems sabers allow you to 'step' the squelch level up or down (maybe just up?) for the priority channel only during scan. This is in the service radio menu... somewhere. This means that during scan, the priority channel's programmed squelch level will be different from when it is ...

kc2dla

OK, good. I have other sabers with DES that sound way better than than the two that are in need of tweaking. Thanks for the info! I don't suppose anybody has the RSS manual I need in a PDF file?

Hello,

I am in need of the field programmer user guide for the Saber Series (68P81044C65). Specifically, I am intersted in the procedure for adjusting the securenet deviation (DES) and other related parameters such as audio, deviation, etc. with a service monitor. I just put some eBay DES modules ...

Make sure that the personality has QCII set. When you are in the RSS personality screen, it is a function key that brings you to the screen (I think). I have a Systems Saber III setup to unmute the audio for PL or QCII on one personality and it works good. My only complaint is that the alert tone is ...

Spectra - on its front on the remote mount models I think.

kc2dla

Hmmm.. interesting. The systems saber is the same way; no post-MDC when the channel is not slaved to clear. To state in another way, if a mode is secure-slaved or user selectable between clear and secure, the RSS will not allow a post-MDC. This may have to do with the routine that the transmitter ...

kc2dla

I have experienced the same limitation you describe. I recently got a Systems Saber III and it can be programmed for pre or post, but NOT both. Anyone have a saber software manual to refer to about this?

Paul

Here is some info from the MT1000 RSS manual:

Error Code: 03
Problem Description: Busy low time out
Possible Corrective Actions: 1. Check that the radio is turned on
2. Check radio's battery
3. Check Com. port selection in SETUP

This is not terribly helpful, but try all three to make sure. If ...

When eqquipped with an OTAR module, the MDC data can broadcast which key it is currently using (1 of 8 possible) so another radio can decode it and change keys. You just need to have both radios with the OTAR module and keyload them to be exactly the same. You can also program the name to each of ...

kc2dla

Well, I found out that no personality on a Systems Saber may be slaved to clear like it can on a Saber. I did disable proper code detect and noticed no improvement. I will learn to live with it too I suppose.

Most of the time I use the radio to scan, and the extra un-mute time is noticable and cuts ...

kc2dla

I noticed the very same. I am going to try programming certain channels as clear only to see if this makes a difference at all.

Paul

kc2dla

Try changing from post (after) to pre (before) in the MDC screen. If the option to enable MDC suddenly appears in your personality screen and you have a securenet module installed, than you will not be able to have a post MDC. I have found that for some reason the radio will not go from coded to ...

kc2dla

Systems Saber III for certain, and possibly the Systems Saber I (someone else please confirm)

kc2dla

This is good news! I have not determined the CON version yet (no RSS) and I remembered something vague about how the presence of the 'beep' indicated a later CON version.

Well, I certainly can't wait to program up some MDC options and hopefully QC II as well. Thanks for the info guys.

kc2dla

When the monitor button is depressed and held on my friend's SS3 it beeps after a few seconds. Mine does not. What does this indicate?

Specifically, will I be able to utilize MDC decode and QCII?

Thanks for any help.

kc2dla

Thank you RKG, this is the info I was after. I am used to this inconvenience when programming Sabers and I wanted to find out if I will have to do the same with a newly acquired Systems Saber.

Can the RAT buttons or front keypad be programmed to change the power setting of the current personality or zone?

Is there a menu selection to accomplish this? (I doubt)

Any tips on how to change the RF power "in the field"?

The ever-popular TKN8506 is for the universal connecter.

Could the cover have been swapped from another radio perhaps? I experienced the same problem you are having after I installed my MDC cover on an MT1000 that did not support it. Here are the details:

The 8250 UART chip is also suitable. From a MS-DOS 6.22 command prompt type 'MSD' to start a DOS program (Microsoft Diagnostics) and go to the ports section to see what UART chip your serial port has.

Paul

I have read here that the 99 channel display models are particularly ESD sensitive on the universal connector at the top of the radio.

I also recall that someone else may have had this problem just as you are having only when removing it from the MVA. Try to exhaust the search feature here on the ...

I have seen BNC to 'MX thread' aka stud adapters at hamfests and this may work for RX only. However, you aren't making electrical contact with the radio's ground which, believe it or not, is still important even for simply receiving. The threaded connector on the saber, MT1000/ genesis series, GP300 ...

Take a look at Zenith Data Systems notebooks. I use a Z-Note 325L 386-25. Its BIOS is the most versatile I have ever used on any notebook PC.

As long as the 386-486 machine you are considering has a 9-pin serial port with an 8250 UART or better, it should work great. A good tool to determine the ...

The fastest machine that I have successfully written to a Saber from was a Pentium-S @133MHz (Actually I am using it to make this post right now). Now I use a Zenith Data Systems 386-25 notebook computer just for programming. It is very stable and of the same vintage of the Saber RSS.

If the radio does not have the bypass module installed in the securenet socket, I don't think audio will pass from the microphone to the transmitter.

kc2dla

I haven't a clue as to your first step with the CDM1250. On the MT1000 however, you may try toggling the RX Injection using the RSS. When you are in the Change/Create/View--> Channel screen, it is F9. IIRC this affects the Injection from the second local oscillator stage.

UPDATE!

After some time and effort, I have learned a few things about programming the Signalling Option of the MT1000. It seems that I am not alone in experiencing frustration when attempting to program these special front covers for this radio. http://batboard.batlabs.com/viewtopic.php?t=17930 ...

The batlabs site also has some suggestions on correcting a codeplug error.

FYI "Error 1" corresponds to "No Response from the Radio" in Mt1000 RSS R03.01.02.

KVLs are available on eBay, just search for things like DES, KVL and keyloader. The RIB is not inteded nor designed to keyfill. I don't know about it's legality, but I have *never* heard of a PC keyloading a Saber through the RIB. IIRC, the pin on the programming cable doesn't make it to the DB25 at ...

kc2dla

Thanks, that clears things up a bit.
Suppose I remove the connector for the analyzer and put an MX style connector on the end. Would this allow me to keyload Spectras, EXPOs, and hirose Sabers?

Paul

kc2dla

Is this a Spectra Keyload cable and does it have the mx style connector to connect to a T3020BX?

This isn't some test cable for that silly DES test set is it?

Thanks,
Paul

kc2dla

Thanks for all of the help guys! I recall changing the injection on one portable and after observing no discernable difference, changing it back. I think I will leave it alone now, the radio works just fine.

Paul

kc2dla

When viewing the Per Channel options, there is an option named "CHANGE RX INJ" with options of HI and LOW. What does this do? Should I leave it alone?

The version I am using is R03.01.00

Paul

kc2dla

Never had that one before... perhaps the software is fussy. Run it is pure DOS if it is not already. Try some other codeplugs to see if it is a codeplug archive problem or a software bug. MT2000, MTS2000, and MTX9000 will also work.

I have Lab R.02.00.01 and the B5 codeplug from the supersite ...

kc2dla

I gather from your post that you are getting a 'Codeplug to new/old' error upon reading the B5 codeplug.

One way to circumvent this would be to use the lab to read/write without 'unpacking' the codeplug into archive format. Then use a newer non-lab version of MTSX that can then edit the contents ...

there a way to get a 453.xxxx freq in there or is that too far outside?

Enter the frequency as 463.xxxx in the RSS. Save the archive. Perform the hex edit method from the Batlabs Saber page. This method worked for me very well when I had to do it for 24 channels on a Saber III VHF. I went 3Mhz ...

Model Number H01UCH6DB7AN

Ok, so I can tell that it is 806-870, Privacy Plus, and 'Dual-mode' trunking (whatever that is). Here are my questions:

2) How many modes or talkgroups is is capable of? 255 like a B7 MTX8000?

ABSOLUTEY IS! Go into the QCII menu and setup your A and B tones. Next go to the mode that you want to use the tones on and set the squelch to QCII decode. Once the radio is successfully programmed, select the mode, place the switch in the slashed speaker position, and hit the monitor button once ...

I see MTX8000 B3 models for sale with this model number an awful lot: H01UCC 6 DB3AN. The 6 in position 7 indicates a channel spacing of 20/25KHz. Does this mean I cannot program the radio to follow a trunked system with a frequency of, say 856.7125 MHz??
