key is loaded and works properly

pretty sure its the radio telling me I am receiving encryption but not sure where that function is located in the software.

olderookie

looked and can not fine anything to enable or disable. I have an XPR3500 with a simplex secure channel and it will sound a short tone on RX. My other model radios do not do this on RX. I was guessing it had to be secure setting since it does not do it on any of the other simplex channels. please tel...

olderookie

that looks good I will have to see if there is an aftermarket equivalent or an NOS

olderookie

ok might be a silly question, I have the NNTN4437B on my radio. It seems a lil heavy. I am wondering if there is a lighter option that is out there. I know the whole OEM vs Aftermarket conundrum, I do side with OEM. I am just looking to get something that might hold a charge a bit longer then this u...

I just realized the listed it as FDMA and the turbo is TDMA

FT1DR C4FM 144/430 MHz Dual Band Digital Handheld Transceiver

Is this a turbo?

since Motorola owns the company I got to thinking is it the same format?

just throwing it out there.....

olderookie

Yes, I got SIX miles between my house, and the town I live by SIMPLEX. The place I was in town was a higher place in town, and our house is roughly at the same elevation, with a lower region in between. It's all either farmland or woodlands between the two, but definitely not just free open space. ...

I was working with and XTL 2500 that was losing its audio, and would not be able to transmit. I moved this radio from one vehicle to another, using same wiring points. I checked voltage and had 12v or more at radio head and 12v at drawer in the trunk. It would get worse when the vehicle was not runn...

olderookie

I thought there was a primer on here somewhere?

olderookie

I was thinking more along the lines of is a CPS or KVL needed and what is the pros and cons of the different types of encryption? basically I need to know for this what I knew about the PRC119

olderookie

can someone lead me to a place to learn about encryption for the APX 6000 we are moving to a new system and I believe I am going to need encryption.

I am starting now so when I need to know this I am ready!!!??

olderookie

I have a project I am working on and I have a GM300 with a 16pin connector I am going to make another garage door opener. I want to use the alert on the radio to open the garage door. I have the idea worked out in my head but I am not sure what kind of voltage and amperage I am going to see coming o...

olderookie

Extenders have not gone to 700MHz statewide and there is a chance they won't be, they work like crap. The pilot is failing miserably. I understand Johnson had a recall on the entire fleet of radios sold to the state. And as CHP found out the hard way, low band is not anywhere near dead. Missouri Hi...

We are on VHF conventional, we contract dispatching from a Muni very close to us. I am looking for a "good cheap buy" due to the change that is supposed to happen. And funny enough I am the systems admin for our dept. I am good with conventional, just no experience with P25 or trunking. I ...

olderookie

well for now we are just conventional digital and no crypto right now. I am in the St Louis area and there is work progressing in the 800 P25 trunked area (not St Louis City) this new system when it comes online is supposed to comprise around 4 counties or more. the time frame for this is yet to be ...

olderookie

Ok I am new to the P25 world just joined a new dept and we have an XTL2500 and spectras in the rest of the cars. I have been trying to take it all in and there is a lot. I guess besides the Astro Saber what is the consensus on the XTS 1500? I am thinking I need the Koolaid since it is going to be so...

olderookie

if you have put the channel in a scanner what is the numbers?

olderookie

I got the stt flasher to work on the wrecker like we discussed

olderookie

I have noticed the same thing on a CSQ channel when in scan but sometimes it just keeps going. I have meant to change the PL detect on that channel to see if that changes it, time is just not on my side right now BTW this is VHF

olderookie

tk-3230 gmrs sized and I know that they can be programed

olderookie

what you putting this in a UH-60? I remeber making some ICS cords so pilots could listen to music been a while though

MR Dawson has passed away.

I knew him personally I have no love lost for the man, I will stop there.

He worked in the dept I am in and was the "chief" in another nearby.

I know this due to a message sent via teletype

I see the DTR550 and such but anyone have any references?

is this the omly pocket PC programing that can be done? I have a Pocket PC and it would be great if I could use it !!

olderookie

nand, We contract with St. Louis county for dispatching services so we are basically locked into what they say. I would try to see if we could do more but the civilian in charge of the comms center is a control freak and even though he seemed to be better after 9/11 and New Orleans he has gone back ...

I just took my light bar off my wrangler it mounted to the windshield frame. I know the manufacuer make the roto bar too the smae bar but mine did not rotate. I think the brand is "Carr"? For grins i layed a light bar on the thing after I removed the off road lights. it would work well, mi...

We had a portable radio stolen the other day, a HT 1000 and when I called dispatch to see if they could stun the radio they told me they couldn’t do that. (We have ht1250s as well) I know that it can be done what does it take to send the command? I have a full signaling maxtrac and we have some cdm ...

olderookie

I was contemlating taking my light bar off the other day and I think if I were to do that I would use a NMO mount on a tab from the windshleild frame. it would be up high and my 1/4 wave does well. on the light bar. I have a CB whip off the rear bumper for now and I originally had a UHF 5/8 wave on ...

Are you running a repeater I have been hearing what I think is an OK repeater the past few weeks on our dispatch channel?

St Louis county 2nd precicnt.

I have heard vehicle being ran with OK address

olderookie

on my wrangler I have a light bar on the windshield frame, so I enlarged a hole and used a permenant mount and it works great. I would have to agree the next best place would have to be a hood/fender mount the only thing keeping me from doing tht is engine noise leaking in. there are taillight mount...

olderookie

thanks pager geek

olderookie

I checked we are still on 25khz so that is set right.

I need to crank the gain back I shut off the emphisis maybe that was it I think it is just the radio itself. I was the purchaser in 2001 so it has been around a while. and it is still not an HT1000.

I think I am on the right track.

olderookie

darn I sound just like one of the cops don't I, LOL The audio is low and it seems as if unless you talk directly into the mic it makes no difference. witht he HT1000 it make no matter just being close to the mic and the audio is good. I have noticed the dispatcher can not hear me as good on the HT12...

olderookie

Ok does the orange button do MDC emergency we use it here and it works on the HT1000 and if this is to replace the HT1000 then it should do it on the PR1500? This is one of the things I look at when I preview a radio can I use it at work? In all sounds like they have a great replacement finally for ...

olderookie

ok what is the best setting for the mic gain settings I carry this radio and it sounds like crap. I have looked from the outside for obsrtuction to the mics but it would be wierd for both of them to be blocked. I am begining to dislike the HT1250 I see good reviews of the PR1500, is the audio any be...

olderookie

I am looking at trying to keep the simple scanners from hearing our comms. can anyone tell me what is the lest inexpensive way to do this? we have mostly HT1250 with a few HT1000 we use MDC for emergency so the orange button is used. I had an HT1000 that would do voice inversion which is fine but it...

olderookie

what kind of radios are you using? MDC, QCII, DTMF?more info an we can splain

olderookie

ht 750works well for me and it is current I have a used one I traded for and I like it a lot.

since the G/F left no real need for GMRS like I used to.

olderookie

I know there are other forums but I was hoping to see if anyone could shed some light on this. I trust you guy not the Pimps. the boss wants a ring tone on his I530 and we have the cable what do I need to to upload a tone to his phone? thanks in advance.

olderookie

try these supposed to be water proof?

http://www.stonemountainltd.com/pages/sword.html

olderookie

it is listed as an option on the VX-800 on the vertex site but the only down side I can see is that vertex uses two radios to cover the entire band split where as mother M uses one and yes that is VHF. I would really like one if it had a wider band to it.

olderookie

my 2 cents
