"received a notice from Motorola that some APX portables, manufactured between August and September of 2013, have been recalled for repair. They found an issue where some portables may power off on their own, even with the knob in the “on” position. They may not be able to power back on. We hav...

Hello fellow batlabbers, I got this issue with my 3000 , Everytime the backlight is on and I key up the radio the radio resets. The radio never does this during regular operation. I thought maybe it was a battery issue , but after buying a new battery it still does the same thing. Any ideas on what ...

Once again people: APCO-25 CAI is 4800 BAUD . NOT 9600 BAUD. BAUD means "symbols per second" NOT BITS PER SECOND. APCO-25 uses a 4 level signaling system, so the bit rate is twice the symbol rate (NOT BAUD RATE. "baud rate" would be "symbols per second per second".) Ei...

this may be a dumb question on an old post , but after using the search function and wanting to learn more about the 2500 , I recently aquired one, So if program a 9600 baud system can I still program in a 3600 baud system and still listen to both of them?

Thanks

my opinion is copsticks are chopped up versions with a flasher built in undercar led lighting

just my 2 cents

dawson75

they do exist brian but they are very very expensive. They stopped making it but im sure you can find one somewhere but as i stated they are very very pricey. Ill find you a link you can build yourself one from what i understand its not that hard just very time consuming. Ill pm ya with the info Dan

dawson75

just an update that is long overdue , It was a repeater issue with the PL programming seems as though the old repeater is forgiving if the specs are off a little but the radios are not. techs came in adjusted the repeater and all is well. Now we are having coverage issues. Where we could go with the...

i dont know if you can find out the firmware or not by this info but here is what i got off of the tags model: AAH795DC9PW5AN FLASH: 000001-00200-5 H35/G48 Conventional Operation Q241 ASTRO Ready (Analog Operation ONLY) Motorola is sticking by its claim that all the radios are bad. just out of curio...

dawson75

Just to give you guys an update , the local moto dealer came and tested all the radio's and all the radios tested within spec's. The tech seems to think that the radios are a bad batch from motorola. Since these radios are brand new they are going to be replaced. Never heard of 25 radios being bad f...

dawson75

the pl is 103.5 any how i was thinkin maybe the portables are not getting the pl fast enough or just not getting it at all. the repeater is old same age as the 1225's were id say around 10. to 12 years. im not sure what the problem is but i just think its bad for us seeings how its our safety thats ...
