Sorry, VHF 25-45 watt

frodo

Can some one supply me with the amp draw for a 4 channel M1225 while transmitting. I noticed broduct brochures for other models include it, however it doesn't appear to be on this one.

Thanks

frodo

Either drill into those knock-outs and put a switch in or go to your local junkyard and see if you can pickup whatever the switches are that go in there (probably heated seats or something similar).

frodo

Does any one know where I can find some more information on the MT1500 with display. A google search and even looking around /\/\ site has yielded nothing. Is the display only on trunking models or conventional too?

frodo

Thanks for your help. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to revive the radio displaying the EEPRM CS ERROR using 06.05.

I guess its going to mother moto to figure out.

frodo

To revive an old topic (I actually used the search feature)

If I had an original codeplug, how would I write it to a ht1250 displaying the "EEPRM CS ERROR"?

Is there any thing more to it than simply hitting the write button?

frodo

I think google started cracking down on people doing that. It is a violation of their TOS I believe.

frodo

Great, thanks for your help. Is there a motorola part for this by any chance?

frodo

I take it then we have to Y the front and rear heads together and put that in the front head connection on the radio, and the RIB goes in the rear head connection?

frodo

First let me thank you ahead of time for your help. I am new to the world of mobile programming, so forgive me. We are programming some modes and cleaning up a few things on our mobile spectras in our fire apparatus. It is a dual head setup. We can succesfully program the front head, however when we...

Are you sure the Trailblazer mirror's aren't the same as the Suburban/Tahoe?

frodo

You'll need some one to host those pics. Usually some one on the board is generous enough to host them for you, but if not, you could always upload them to imageshack.ws.

Matt

P.S. - I'm looking forward to seeing them.

frodo

I've been looking at a new mobile cb to replace my dinasour. My question is regarding the PA function. Is the output of the cb amplified? Does it go right to the speaker? Would it be possible for me to rig my existing whelen setup (pa and horn) to it so I could have one less microphone in my car? My...

frodo

I was just wondering if the Minitor II's have a date code (for the physical unit) similiar to what the motorola Batteries have.

Thanks in advance
Matt

frodo

I've never been brave enough to try it, but the model specific section has the instructions.

Being able to program PL's for the open channels would be nice.

EC-7's post reminded me of a couple things:

Knee pads and a creeper.

frodo

What type of carpet do you use for those type installs? I would love to try a project like that some time.

frodo

Yeah siren mode simply does that - emits a siren. It dosent do anything over the air though.

frodo

Our department has a very similar pierce cab. Ours is on a pivot where your siren controler is. It can swing to both seats, and works very well.

frodo

It dosent waste bandwith, thats why you cant upload an image to the forum.

frodo

Whats on the LAB version of the RSS for the HT1000 that sets it apart from the regular motorola version?

Thanks

Matt

frodo

I'm about to program a mobile spectra. I have previously only done portable radios, and im curious as to what differences there are, or if I should know anything special before I start programming mobiles.

Thanks

frodo

Just sent my donation in. Good luck with everything.

frodo

If its anything like the '92... fire wall access points are very hard to come by. Everything I do for my brothers car is run through the fender and through the door area to the area under the steering wheel.

frodo

I was asked to look at a radio that sounded like "darth vador." The RX was very choppy and didnt sound right at all. I took it apart to look inside and see if anything was obvious (my first thought is water vs. speaker). When I put it back together, all the radio does is hum. Dosent receiv...

frodo

I guess it depends on the model. I looked at one today and it was two bulbs.

frodo

A guy wants me to install strobes in his tail lights on his '92 suburban. Does any one know if its 3 sets of lights or 2.

Meaning 3 sets would be that turn signals, brake, and backup are all different. And 2 Meaning that the brake lights and turn signals are the same thing.

Thanks

Matt

frodo

Does the "squak" only transmit when using the radio on a repeater?

Thanks,

Matt

frodo

I have a GP350 and the model number tag is no longer on it. I was was wondering if there was another way (besides running it through the RSS) to see the model number, like something inside the radio.

Thanks,

Matt

frodo

I read this whole thread, and no one mentioned that he could only use the repeater for one channel. I figured I would, because it sounded like he wanted to use it for a whole bunch.

Correct me if I'm wrong (I'm still learning) but the setup would only work for one channel?

frodo

I use the hex editor method on mine and it works great. It only takes about 5 minutes if you know what your doing.

frodo

Just look at this, what a crock, cant believe some one would pay $50 for it.

What kind of laptop is it? I find it hard to believe it dosent have one. It might be hidden under a little door or something.

You might try using a docking station, which makes your laptop have every port a regular desktop would have.

frodo

To clean out the speaker part (the dirt that bulds up in the "grill" I spray out with one of those office cleaner in a can deals that sprays out the air. Make sure to hold it upright and do it slowly though. If your looking for a real quick fix for the white scratch marks on the radios use...

My stand: I think ebay ad's should stay. I've found some nice auctions through the forum that I didn't see while searching. New users should have to provide their ISP email. This is the email address of you at your internet service provider. This way scammers coming to post new ad's on here would ha...

If your willing to spend some money, try http://www.live365.com. They are a huge streaming media server. These people are overloaded with ads and popups however, and using the interface is overall a huge pain in the... Other servers just like that exist. Some place on the net is a big list. I'll try...

Just got a new PC with XP on it, I have my RSS installed in the C drive, but I can't figure out how to boot the PC from DOS only. I tried the "kae a DOS stat-up disk" but that only gives me an A:\ Prompt and I ty to go into the C:\ prompt and get "invalid drive" How the heck do ...

frodo

Hmmmm.

Just tried a new battery today and everything works fine. Radio powers without a problem.

But nothing works with a 9volt attached through the program cable, just little bits of power.

frodo

Sounds like it was inside the plastic.

The "black inkspot" sounds like the LCD Cracked.

frodo

How hard is it to change the fuse?

frodo

Thanks wave I did that with the programming cable.

...and it worked

Eventully I got lazy however and put the contacts right up to each other and it worked the first couple times but after that I would only get a couple short instances of power.

Did I really just screw the thing?

-Matt

frodo

Hi again, I got just a GP350 in I got from ebay (I know bad idea, and this proves it) It dosent power at all, but the seller said the battery was "mature" Is there a way to see if the battery still works, like the old 9 volt trick of arcing the contacts? I don't have another battery to tes...

frodo

Radiobob is right. I re read the instructions and realized I was reading for the wrong radio (gp300 not gp350). Thanks for correcting me bob.

frodo

Of those four choices, I would go with the GP350. It offers the most choices and it is easily modded if its only 2 channels. Remember, for GMRS, your going to want UHF. If you want to program it yourself, your going to need: - Motorola compatible Rib (aftermarket price: about $50) - Programming cabl...

frodo

I also have one of those Ribs.

Like elkbow said, the 9v connection sucks. My broke off to. Went to radio shack and they sell the replacments and soldered it on. Im gunna rig up some kind of case for the battery so I dont have to worry about that again.

frodo

How far can the average radio go with out of band programming?

The most I would do is probably 5 mhz on a GP350 or SP50. Maybe a HT1000

frodo

Oops, my bad

.

Still learning a lot of this stuff.

frodo

I'm not an expert in this in anyway. This is from the batlabs information, not very specific but It might help: There is a selection in the RSS to make the radio 24 channels. If you select this option, as long as you don't use the alphanumeric portion on every channel (or it will run out of memory) ...
