Nope, not a word. Still too new I suppose.

I have an XPR4500 that was damaged, the volume control took a hit to be exact, and is a bit loose and wobbly now. I have another with a perfect control head I'd like to swap in, but I'm not sure how to disconnect it from the flexible flat cable header. How do you get the cable out of the header? It ...

The Motorola part number is PMLN5072. I think they're usually under US$10 if you want to experiment. An ignition sense cable is pretty easy (add pin 25 to a switched power).

Has anyone sourced the mating connector from a secondary supplier, like Digikey or Newark? It looks like a common 26-pin Amp or similar. I have a project that needs a prototype adapter built.


Thanks!

This was exactly what I needed -- THANKS!

We have headsets cables with the accessory connector on one end, and a 5-pin Switchcraft connector on the other. I just needed to determine which pins were speaker +/- to make a batch of mono earplug adapters.

Anyone have the pinout for this handy? I looked in the model specific section and didn't see it listed. The reference CD that comes with the radios didn't have any information about it either. I need to build a listen only earplug adapter.

Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know if there are refurb kits available for XPR6500s yet? I have one that got a little warm momentarily, and it shows it cosmetically, but still works fine. A refurb kit, antenna, and a new battery would make it good.

Thanks

I'd like modify the headset cables for the HT750 and HT1250 radios we have to eliminate the two prong cable/side accessory connector combination that seems to be a weak link in the chain.

Does anyone have a source for the direct screw-on side connectors for these?

Thanks in advance.

I was told today that the latest version of CPS is 5.05.00. I guess it was released a couple of weeks ago.

One thing I have found for sure is CPS is a bit fickle when it comes to USB to Serial adapters. I would definitely get a PC with one real serial port.

Did you already try calling Ritron? (800) USA-1-USA (872-1872)

Factory is in Carmel, Indiana; Building radios in the US?? What a concept! I do believe they are the last one.

I need to build a harness for a GP350 radio right now. I remember using a transformer for the mic, which I have found in here in the hardware archives (PICO-A1025 M27/174-01), but I can't find a schematic for the harness itself and i've slept many moons since. Anyone have a clue on how to wire this ...

Just out of curiosity, what is the fastest processor anyone has had success using to run MRSS v3.xx without using MOSLO or some other slow-ware? I have used a 486DX4 previously with good results, but it just died and I need to ebay soon for a different one.

Thanks

Does anyone know the maximum current a UHF HT1000 requires? I'd like to build a really robust battery eliminator using a Vicor dc-dc converter(VI-J0R-EZ-S) and an old battery housing.

At 7.5VDC, 25 watts is around 3 amps. It should be ...

What's the big difference in a JEDI and an HT1000? Is either one considered to be more durable than the other?

We have a travelling circus of about 40 handhelds on 9 of the 12 different frequencies, the other three are used for low power data transmission.


Having that many individual assigned frequencies is necessary for us, but kind of a waste really, because we are only located in most of the locations ...

I ended up getting the WPNN4037A batteries from Motorola direct. What a difference!!

Not only do they hold up to the heat, but the radio performance has actually improved a great deal. IMHO, they are worth every dime.


Thanks again for all of your help guys.

I'm trying to register for a dozen frequencies in the 450-470 MHz band at 11 different locations around the country. All the transmitters are low power handhelds.

I've been trying to use ITA-Relay for frequency coordination for the past two months, but it's been very difficult to get any response ...

I found the WPNN4037A. Searched the net, and found at least a dozen places that listed it; None really carried it, but had one "just as good for much cheaper" (reminded me of those "motor oil is motor oil" commercials).

Had to go direct to Motorola to find it. $133 each, but if they hold up to the ...

I was wondering if there was an actual physical difference in the two, or if it was like the $6,000 toilet seat; Higher cost due to all the testing/certification paperwork, but the same exact product.

We had several failures recently with Power Products batteries, and decided to go with OEM ...

WPNN4037A

WPNN4013A

Both are rated at 2000 mAh. The WPNN4037A has all the safety approvals, but is it really any different than the WPNN4013?

Anyone had these apart, or have experience with the 4037 being more heat resistant?

Thanks in advance!

Twitco has these connectors for $2.50 each. They also do custom assemblies if you need something special.

I always come here to the Batlabs board first with my two-way problems, and rarely come away without a viable solution. Hats off to all of you.

Thanks, Will. I shot them an e-mail.

I have plenty of old pre-molded VISAR surveilance kits with the 3.5mm threaded plugs on them, but what I need is just the bare connector that I can solder to my own cables.

Many places have the leads for the VISAR with these connectors attached, but does anyone seel just the connector?

I'd prefer a shielded one like the Switchcraft plugs, but any will do in a pinch. I would assume the side connector is only available through Motorola (?), if it is available at all ...

I have seen this cable before but have no idea where to find it. It has four conductors, each of them are individually shielded (not paired), and the jacket is really tough. I believe the primary use is in intercom systems on fire trucks and in similar heavy-duty mission critical applications ...

UPDATE:


All is well now. Tried again with RSS version R03.03.00, works perfectly with no errors, even on my Dell Inspiron 8000 booted from a W98 system floppy.

The moral I guess is that HT1000/Visars can be a bit version sensitive.

File it in the knowledge base! Thanks again!!

I did it here with an older version and got the same serial and model numbers that you got, with a RX frequency of 450.150 and a TX frequency of 465.150 and a TX PL of 114.8. RX was set to QCII long tone B. This is likely what you are seeing in your screen as well.

Nand.

That's exactly right ...

Wait a minute...I thought you were unable to read the radios with the RSS...how is it reporting the model/serial numbers to you? So it is actually reading the codeplug, then giving you the error, then allowing you to look at the codeplug? The fact it is showing different than what is on the label ...

I tried again this morning with a 486 DX4 with the identical results. Keep in mind that i'm not changing the radios; I read the code plug, get the "Invalid model, customer, or serial number" error, and then try to send the exact same codeplug back to the same radio, and it gives me the "Incompatible ...

When I read the codeplug from either a VISAR or an HT1000, I get an immediate "Invalid model, customer, or serial number". And if I try to send the exact same codeplug back, I get an "Incompatible model number" error.

I'm using a stock Motorola RLN4008B RIB, and I have an MS-DOS 6.22 boot disk with ...
