After a long time searching finally found it, just in case someone else needs the same thing. I assume it is probably for all Superduty's from 2017 to current. Passenger side kick panel, main bundle of wires going towards the rear. Solid White Wire - Dome light 12v+ Blue/light gry stripe - park wire...

I am trying to find some wires in my new truck and having a heck of a time finding them. I am looking for: Dome Light Supervision Parking Lights Horn All of this is going to tie into my APX O9 setup. From what I have found online Dome Light Supervision-grey/purple Park Lights-yellow/blue Horn-violet...

I have seen that when there is something different in the trunking system name.

Example:
Trunking System 1
TRUNKING SYSTEM 1

It will add because the CPS thinks it is a different system. If they are exactly identical in spelling, spacing, and capitalization then it should overwrite.

If anyone is trying to do something like this, I never had luck with this. We tried numerous settings using the headset RJ45 plug and determined it is not possible without the interface box. I can make it PTT but no through audio. This may be part of the DIP switch settings, but I haven't been able ...

I just came across a good head. Can't find my spectra service manual. Can anyone give me a pinout on what I need to solder to in order to make a programming head.

Edited: Meant that for spectragod. What pins did you solder to make it work?

fire-medic8104

Good Ideas, Thanks!!

fire-medic8104

ok, thanks.

fire-medic8104

I know I have seen this before, but can't find it. Is it possible to program through the mic connector? It is just a pain with some of the consoles I deal with when some of these guys that install them don't leave enough slack to pull the radio out.

fire-medic8104

I would guess you either unseated or didn't reseat the ribbon that attaches from the front face to the board.

fire-medic8104

Ok, I have read all the great write ups and looked at different options. Is it better to go with the USB format or try to setup another partition and install all the RSS and dos on that. I looked at some programs, used to use system commander and it worked pretty good. Just didn't know if it would b...

fire-medic8104

where did you get yours at? If I remember right, it wasn't something radioshack carried. I haven't done one in a while, never had to buy them I had a friend give me a batch of them last time.

fire-medic8104

I'm going to pull it in the morning. Just wanted to get a few ideas to look at

fire-medic8104

I have a VHF spectra that is giving me problems. First I was getting a Fail 001 code for a few days. Checked all power leads, and double checked programming since this normally is a result of being programmed out of band. Well, now I am getting no fail codes, but not receiving anything either. I can...

fire-medic8104

I think I have a few spare control heads I will give that a try.

fire-medic8104

No, I get no sound, no beeps, no transmit, nothing. The transmit and recieve light come on and then fade off. I think you are right about the fuse, I think you just get 01/90, but I will check it as soon as I have time. Thanks

fire-medic8104

Finally got around to getting the other power supply and have it powering up 2 radios. The one I was having problems with is the same thing. I also tried the original power supply on another spectra and it works. Is there a fuse inside that could have blown? I am not sure what else it could be witho...

fire-medic8104

Yeah that is just from a Fluke DVM. I am bringing my Astron power supply to work tomorrow and a power cable to see if that fixes it to isolate the radio or the power supply.

fire-medic8104

It is actually 14.3 and never moves during power up.

fire-medic8104

I have a Spectra Low Power connected to the Motorola Power Supply on my desk at our office. Came to the office and the breaker had tripped in the office shutting everything off. Turned the breaker back on and everything works except my radio. Checked with voltmeter getting 13 1/2 volts on power plug...

fire-medic8104

Appreciate the info.

fire-medic8104

So would that mean only the XTS and APX portables as well? Or only certain models of those?

fire-medic8104

So the Xtl will be the only one?

fire-medic8104

I searched, but couldn't find anything. Is a MCS2000 capable of rebanding and retuning from 800mhz to 700mhz or is that only XTLs? Is there anyway to tell without reading the codeplug? I would like to buy a few since I like the display and price better than the XTL, but don't know if it will work fo...

Looks like my problem is that it is Windows 98 and that has to be on my c drive when I am using it as a external HDD. I think I have an old laptop I may be able to put it in and see if it will boot that way.

fire-medic8104

Ok, thanks. I don't want to really tear apart my toughbook, I was hoping that it was something I could do from the hard drive reader. I appreciate the help and I will look and see what I can do. I really don't want to front Motorola money again, but may have no choice if I can't get my old software ...

fire-medic8104

I had a chance to change the boot file, but when trying it as XP, I get an error, so I tried it as Windows NT and it just loops back and restarts and goes back to the panasonic start up and choose drive 1 or drive 2. I am not sure what version of windows he had in it. What would I do for 2000 or 98?...

fire-medic8104

I didn't think about that. Is there a way since I am using my regular computer to switch back and forth?

fire-medic8104

Got an error that said dll loaded, but DLLregister server entry point not found

Can I do it from the E: drive, which would be the old hard drive or does it have to be on the C:?

fire-medic8104

Cool, I'll give it a shot this evening and post how it goes.

fire-medic8104

I recently had my programming laptop go down and the processor is fried so I pulled the hard drive hoping to salvage my programming setup since I lost all the disks and cds in a fire about a year ago. Question I have is I know all dos programs are pretty much copy from the old hard drive and past in...

fire-medic8104

I'll give it a shot and try to figure it out. Thanks

fire-medic8104

I have all the personalities and modes set up. Go into zone, enable then press f6 (I believe) to access zone list. It asks what Position and that is where I get hung up.

fire-medic8104

Figured it out, but the only question I have since I haven't used Spectra RSS for awhile, is when you go into the zone list and you don't have any zones, if you press F3 Add Zone it asks to add zone at position. What do you enter there? I have tried 00,01,02, etc and all say not valid entry.

fire-medic8104

Stupid me, I never thought about creating a new system. I just used the existing one and tried to change it to what I am using.

fire-medic8104

Also, I am aware of the rebanding, and I know that it is coming sooner than later. This was just going to be temporary anyway.

fire-medic8104

Our county is not on a lease program like all the other users. We had our own system that was migrated into the starnet system, therefore we have our own system administrator that handles our radios. We don't pay a lease and don't pay for airtime. That was part of the agreement. We don't pay extra f...

fire-medic8104

Well for some reason I can only select type 1 for the system which won't let me program the rest. We are getting a new system administrator for our county and he found it in a box of stuff in his office and was going to let me use it until we got some more XTLs in. He is not big on programming the s...

fire-medic8104

I have a call into the shop that I worked at several years ago to see if there is someone left that can do it for me. We'll see what happens.

fire-medic8104

I am using CPS to program it. It sounds like I would be better off getting on ebay find a unit for what I need and get rid of this one. Probably be less headaches and about the same amount of money or a little more.

fire-medic8104

How do I do that or who can I get to do that?

fire-medic8104

I was able to find another astro that was complete from a friend and it works fine for conventional having a little trouble with the digital channels.

See:

http://batboard.batlabs.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=74455

fire-medic8104

Yeah, but only on the digital channel. If I put the digital channel out of scan, it works fine. I thought it was kinda wierd, but the flashcode only says for conventional operation and Hardware multikey/MDC OTAR and all the other ones I programmed had IMBE in the flash. That why I thought that was t...

I have a astro spectra that I need flashed for apco25. I can setup the systems and it is programmed in the radio, just whenever I receive from the channel that is programmed it resets the radio. So I am assuming that I need to have it flashed. Can a local MSS handle this or only get sent to Motorola...

I have a brand new just out of the box Spectra mid power remote mount. Model# D45KGA5JB7AK I didn't realize until after I installed it that it is a privacy plus radio so I can't get it programmed to our system.

I recently purchase a VHF astro spectra high power W7 and was told it was missing the receive board.

Are they ...

Once you drop through the floor to the frame, you can just follow the wires to the tail lights, they run along the frame as well. Be prepared to add cable, because the standard lengths won't make it all the way, if you route the right so they don't touch anything.

fire-medic8104

I have always just put a thin blade screw driver and slowly apply pressure. It takes a couple of good bumps to get under the mount. Have a box blade handy to cut the adhesive as you stretch it. Be careful because once it hits a certain spot it will pop right off. Then take a razor and scrap the resi...
