Good morning I have recentally acquired an APX 7500 remote mount dual band radio, this radio will be used only for amateur radio. So far its a great radio and the 03CH is the icing on the cake. One of the features this radio has is FPP. I have an xtl5000-m3 that also has FPP that works fine and is e...

Hey John

You nailed it, when I fat fingered adding a ch via FPP somehow I changed Conv Personality,secure,
Secure Voice/Signal Type from ASTRO to Securenet changed it back and all is well.

Many,Many Thanks
Jim K4AJM

OK I checked and secure was in the off pos, if I turn it on I still get the origional 6 beeps and illegal key message
one time when I power the radio on but now I also get ILLEGAL KEY flashing every 10 sec or so. secure was programed but I haven't used in a long time so that may be a seperate issue.

Hey Guys I have a little problem with my APX 7000 XE. I purchased this radio 2 ½ years Ago and it has worked great. It is used ONLY on the Ham bands, 2M and UHF. I have a friend who does my programming; he set it with several zones So I can use FPP and that worked like a champ for the last 2 years. ...

Hey Guys
I have an XTL 5000 with a 03 CH and the backlight just quit, everything else works fine. I have another 03CH and it works fine in the problem radio. I shook the coil cord with no result. I then removed the coil cord and did a continue check
All appears ok. Any ideas ?
Thanks Jim

Not sure what radio you have but mine is a remote mount hi power, it uses a O TYPE TIB , the acc conn is a DB 25 located on the front of the radio. since I first posted I located a pin out and made my own cable. The spk is on pins 25 and 24 and I don't use a sen. lead, instead I set the code plug se...

I have an XTL 5000 Hi power remote mount with an 05 head and I want to convert it to an 03 head.
My question is what cable do I need to conn the speaker and ign sense lead?
or I can make my own if someone could tell me what the pin out is on the
DB 25 acc conn.
Any help would be much appreciated
Jim

OK that will do it, Thanks I knew you guys would come through

Hey Guys I purchased a Radius M100 25 w uhf R2 radio New in the box, old stock Model D34LRA73A5CK. when I try to program it with GP300 software it can't see the radio. All my GP300 radios pgm just fine. I even tried my Maxtrac software no luck. Am I missing something or did I buy a BRICK in a poke ?...

Thanks to all for the advise, we have seen the light. I have been looking for a range 1 Quantar for a while with no luck but then one popped up
on Pbay and I took the plunge. We will see if I made the right move. I hope you guys will help this Quantar nubee on this new adventure.
Thanks Jim

Thanks for your reply. First I have been looking for a good Range 1 VHF quantar for a year with no luck and I have a PM1500 and an XTL 5000 in stock as well as a controller. I know the quality would suffer some, a Quantar's P25 audio is hard to beat But do you think it would be that bad ? I have not...

Our group would like to put up a P25 VHF ham repeater and since a Quantar is out of our reach because of price and Range 1 availability
We were wondering if putting 2 PM1500's or XTL5000's together using a ham repeater controller would work. Or is there another option
Thanks Jim K4AJM
