Why would you be facing the wrong way?? Most if not all safety protocols call for parking the same direction as the primary accident scene with the vehicle angled so that if struck, the vehicle does not become part of the accident scene. Spoken like a true textbook administrator. Works on paper, bu...

Contacts->Digital->Call

right under where you put the call ID there is a check box...if you have NOT updated the Firmware and CPS you will NOT see this option.

DGP is the Latin America version of the TRBO's

They actually do have Group Call receive tones that beep prior to transmission. Right in the CPS.

4.0.0.9 CPS

Firmware version R01.04.00 for portables and mobiles and R01.04.01 for repeater.

My bad, worded that wrong. Reprogram/flash. Flashing is very easy though.

Wavetar, I was reading somewhere that you can establish talkgroups wihtin the TRBO, and do Individual private calls with the TRBO radios. That is what we are interested in. Also, The demo videos on line alude to the fact that on the same channel you can create different talk groups? Any insight. Th...

It is out now. Radio auto upgrades on reprogram. RDAC for the repeaters, RSSI comparitor functions via the now activated Ethernet port on the Repeaters, COR on the rear pins of the mobiles/repeater digital and analog (Tone remoteable on the digital side now!!), more advanced encryption, plug and pla...

my bad, thought he only wanted to know about using a "cheater repeater cable" through the back of the radio.

Well and to add to that they (China KO's) are for the "belt clip" market. Many people who want a radio (PRIOR to buying, using and breaking it 3 months later) see a dual band that "looks like an EX600 (or whatever), so it must be the same!" These are the same people that will swe...

"Where does the belt clip go?". "Oh, it goes on the SIDE of the radio". lol What many people seem to missing here is that Motorola is not looking for the "belt clip" world of radio users as it's core group of customers. They never have and never will. The numbers are s...

bpr40's. moto and 1/2 way decent "disposable" radios and programmable. LOUD for the size and price.

they are good if the radio sits in the charger most of the time.

Pyramid all the way. The RICK route is ok, but you will lose functionality. Channel changing etc is not possible. Also you can inband the lower wattage without desense. 2 watts is plenty unless you want to be miles away from your vehicle when using the unit. Which is for the most part pointless. Now...

I'd suggest going for something along the lines of the Whelen LED Flatlighter: It mounts right to your visor, and obviously invisible when not in use. This would fit into your budget also. I wouldn't let people get to you about twenty lights in your car. Just make sure you focus on the road while y...

hard to tell from that pic...but does it have the plunger on the connector for the ps mics with the antenna? that little hoodad is what tell the radio to use the external antenna.

i am guessing, since you are using some really OLD radios...cost is a factor here...like you don't want to spend any? because quickmount makes a remote kit for the maxtrac's you may want to consider. they will cost you though.

at the end of this post there is the KISS but what your running on and on about is sooooo not KISS simple. well, may be to YOU it is, but to some others it may not be.

Worse...not at all. It is NOT a baseless statement. It is a true statement. There is no reason anyone should be running that kind of power (here is the key to the statement) in this day and age... You are saying you have a state wide system and it a "haul" in some places even with 110 watt...

We are doing the same thing here. We are waiting to hear if we get a FEMA grant to go from low band to UHF. For paging, I like it give members different options.

you absolutley can...unless you are pushing out 110 watts...which no one should be in this day and age, yet it still happens... you don't NEED the filters and such....

what does it mean when there is no voltage drop at the power source but there is one at the radio itself. by this i mean 13 v at the battery and when a radio transmits there is a drop @ the radio...not at the battery...? alternator going south, battery or is a larger guage wire needed?
