Where is it in the CPS?

Sundown

No, don't believe it can. Certainly mine can't.

Use the pinout from http://www.batlabs.com/images/1550svc.gif... Speaker is obvious, as is Mic. I think PTT is Opt Sel 2 (pin 5), and there's probably a pin looped back somewhere in the plug to allow the radio to sense there's a speaker/mic attached.

Tell me more!!!

I would suggest this is not the case, and that the password is enforced by the CPS and not the radio

But that's only a guess...

Sundown

One thing is for sure.... There are no CPS files you can edit to make a 4ch into a 16ch radio.

Sundown

I doubt you'll ever be able to add channels by editing the codeplug. Sundown can already manipulate the data going into the radio, and the radio gives an error when you try to change things like number of channels. It seems to be imbedded in the radio firmware. Todd Not quite... It appears that the...

You'll get some wildcards happening on a single digit... but you could have 15 radios go off to a call for CAFE to hit the coffee shop, or BEEF for burgers

Where are all these 403-470 XTS3k's popping up from in Aus with that flashcode?? Any surplus auctions I'm missing out on?

Eh? Where's that setting?

Sundown

By the way, the GP338LS is the asiapac version of the HT1250LS, so the information in the thread at http://batboard.batlabs.com/viewtopic.php?t=29079 might be useful

Sundown

16 Conventional channels...

but you can't run signalling on them

Sundown

I don't think it's simply a pinout issue. MDC won't run over Astro (there's no need) as Astro has it's own signalling built into the protocol that covers all of the things the MDC feature sets cover. And they're two different beasts in terms of how they're modulated. My guess would be that there's n...

Sundown

Oh, and because you won't find it around page 1 or 2, instead of putting the IP address that is mentioned there, you need to put sipproxy.enterzone.net instead (UDP port 5060)

Good luck!

Sundown

No

(it'd take longer than 25 words)

Your answers should be somewhere near the bottom of page 1 or top of page 2 from memory...

Sundown

Is the radio successfully going into bootstrap mode? If so, does it come out of it by following the instructions given? What baud rate are you selecting? I would recommend the lowest at this stage, especially if you're using clone equipment. What RIBs have you tried? Are they all clone RIBs, or genu...

Sundown

I'm farely sure that signalling squelch you're talking about in the GP300s was just Call Alert w/ Voice exclusively on the channel.

In the HT1550XLS, the equivalent should be setting Personality -> Signalling -> Signalling Squelch to "And".

Sundown

Not yet... I believe people are working on it

Sundown

Can someone who has a CDM750 please confirm the following for me? 1) Under an MDC system, is "Radio Check Decode" grayed out? 2) Despite this, will it decode Radio Check regardless? (I think some other features that are grayed out still actually work, so yes this is a valid question :) ) I...

Sundown

The display version GP300 is the Select 5 version. Uses a different RSS, and according to a friend who has some and also the standard GP300s, the Select 5 RSS is a real nightmare.

Sundown

A couple of phrases then come to mind...

Busy lockout...
FM capture...
Cluttered channel...
Dispatcher getting pissed off as someone else keys up during another transmission

Sundown

Not true. DPS here in TX runs duplex, unless they turn the repeater on (which they usually only do during an operation, a chase, etc.) If you want a chance at hearing the mobile side, you'll need to program that into your radio as a second channel. How does everyone other than the dispatcher hear t...

Sundown

Whoops... yes the EX500/GP328Plus and EX600/GP338Plus are Waris family.

Will add those in the next edit (coming soon!)...

Sundown

OK... Here's my attempt at documenting the MDC feature sets per radio, as it seems that most of the radios have a splattering of each. At this time I'll use two list sets (one by feature and one by radio model) and probably edit later tonight and turn into a table if possible. Please add any feature...

Sundown

Which country are you in?

I'm not sure the status of the project... perhaps people working on it can update?

Sundown

I have absolutely no idea about the GP308... not like anything I've seen before, but out-of-banding the gp338 and gm338 is a work in progress.

(For the other readers of the board, GP338 = HT1250, and GM338 = CDM1550)

Sundown

ok, and the GM300 doesn't have any such software option I assume?

Sundown

Dumb question...

CDM doesn't have the same fuse thing, right? ignition sense works differently for CDMs?

Sundown

Thank you all for your help, as you all assured me the DOS time was the problem. I disabled DOS since we are not using mdc-1200 at this time. The radio is working much better. Once again, Thanks Hey?? I don't believe this makes sense for HT and CDM series.. For DOS to be active on a personality, yo...

Sundown

heh... we all have days like that I think

Unfortunately the HT/CDM info page on Batlabs is currently in error. That info is in the wrong place, and so far there is no way to out of band the radios. That's being worked on by various people though.

Sundown

dude, first of all, the out of band info that you're talking about is only gonna work on a GP300 (hence the GP300.EXE), the out of bandstuff is model specific, and your model isn't the one you looked up...RTFP. Dude, that's harsh... Especially as if you go to Batlabs, click on the Model Specific In...

Sundown

Yup... had exactly the same thing. Battery still allowed what charge it had into the radio, but the charger didn't recognise that it had been inserted into it.

Solution was to buy a new battery

OK, so do they do it if you press the monitor button, or make the receive squelch CSQ?

Sundown

Sounds like the Option Board Enabled icon. Does it have one installed?

Check the codeplug to see if in Radio Configuration the option board installed is enabled, and disable if you don't have a board in the radio

Sundown

Anyone know what's required to get this information out of Motorola if you wish to design and build up your own option boards to fit Waris portable and mobiles?

The old software encryption that worked with VSELP had it's keys loaded via the CPS.

I've got the radios, I've got the updates, but it's still a no-go. I ge the radios into bootstrap mode, I made the dongle w/switch.

Does it require a Smart-rib?

Nope... no smartrib required. What's it doing that makes you think it isn't working?

You'll probably need to put on SIP firmware though...

With the XTS3000s, emergency decode only appears to work for trunking systems. I suspect that the spectra at least, and probably the MCS will be the same.

Sundown

I don't believe you can decode/display emergency status and not send the ACK with the CDMs...

Sundown

The CDM1550 will decode non-trunking MDC emergency. But do you want it to? The CDM will also generate the Emergency ACK packet (normally a good thing) if you program it to decode emergency, which means that if you have more than one device decoding emergency, there will be lots of ACKs flying around...

Sundown

About AU$1400 or so each... $200-300 more expensive than the GM338 (CDM1550).

Sundown

yeah pretty much... just region associated frequency options.

For example, AA region S frequency set is 450-512, where as AZ region is 450-527

Nice work!! How did you end up figuring out where they were stored? :) And yes... from what I've noticed as well, the CPS for all regions is the same, just with various flags around the place.
