Anyone have an aftermarket source for the Astro Spectra Plus Programming Cable or have the plans to make one?

Otto Makes one, see ottoeng.com the magazine ad shows a compact spkr/mic, the a JEDI type connector and a coax that connects to the SMA antenna connector on the radio.

They seem to all it the XTS Series Evolution Antenna Speaker-Microphone

and, no I don't work for them nor have I actually seen one.

Priceindustries.com apparently has a cable for $185. No I am not trying to advertise. I have no connection to Price. A friend bought one and has successfully read a 5000.

806 824

I am trying to construct a portable conventional 800 mhz repeater. I was planning on using two 800mhz conventional Maxtracs. The problem I am having is that the Maxtrac will not receive 806-824mhz. For this project I need to RX 820 to 824.

Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks

I am trying to connect two 16 pin Maxtracs via the 16 pin connectors to make a bi-directional crossband repeater. I know I can use a RICK but I should be able to by pass using one since I do not want a hang time or any other frills.

If anyone has a diagram or suggestions please advise.

Thanks!

has anyone found a way to tune or convert a Maxtrac to receive in the 806 to ~820's? Trying to make a portable 800 repeater with 2 Maxtracs.

Anyone got any ideas on constructing a relatively inexpensive 800 mhz repeater for mobile or portable use on an itenerant basis? I thought of the 2 maxtrac idea, but cannot find a way to rx the 806-820 +/- input frequency.
Thanks

I am looking fir an aftermarket vendor or the plans for either of the programming cables for the XTS-2500 & XTS-5000.

Thanks!

Has anyone either made or figured out how to make a programming cable for the XTS-2500 or the XTS-5000, serial or USB?
