Java

purchased a ucm/ keypad for my xts2500. it has a few algos ( a lot) and when i plug in my t3011dx radio goes to keyload mode, try loading a few keys and i get an error on the kvl. Unlike my 2500, all my xts5000s load fine. CPS settings for the 2500 are identical to the xts5000s. what could i be doin...

Java

The battery itself is most likely okay, but the IMPRES chip is indeed toast. Had that happen to me once on a NOS hi-cap APX battery. Still works fine, gives me 2-3 days of operation, but I have no battery gauge on the radio and the display on the charger will only display part and serial numbers. t...

Cant you just lookup the serial on a radio your looking at buying then useArkham http://www.akardam.net/moto/tools/serial4.pl

Java

You will need to assign a personality to EACH channel that is FPP as I recall. I am pretty sure each channel is assigned when the radio is flashed for FPP. I normally delete most zones and leave 5 zones add more if I need another zone because reading and writing to a radio with the full max zone / ...

i have 3 xts5000 model 3s that have 15 zones all FPP. there all tied to astro system 1 i tried to switch it to system 2 and it just switches back! the only way to get to system 2 is to delete a fpp zone and add a new zone that is NOT FPP...This really makes no sense to me. As i recall in the past we...

Still waiting in line for service on the xts5000. In the meantime let's talk about the tuner software and where the Vfo setting / sliders are.

Java

Why should you be annoyed with one radio working not working outside it's specified frequency range? You should be happy the other 2 radios do it. The tuner software will allow adjustments to be made with limitations to slide the VCO range of the receiver and transmitter. Bear in mind that when you...

I originally just copied scan settings from the UHF radio ( this one USES NO PL) but the VHF uses PL. I was able to get the radio t...

Java

Have you confirmed the radio is transmitting on the proper repeater input frequency? You can easily verify this with a frequency counter or a service monitor. I doubt the housing has much to do with it since it is the same housing on simplex as it is on the repeater. Stupid audio settings! I figure...

Java

Simplex mode audio sounds ok, but if you listen to someone talk on a repeater the audio sounds rather, saturated... It's hard to explain. I matched audio settings from a radio I know works and it still sounds terrible. It's like the radio is set off freq or something. You know when you turn the vfo ...

What is an NNTN7554A said to be for? The online retailers are stating XTS2500 only or an arm list where they should be XTS1500 (or whatever it is) as well I'd imagine.

I was able to follow a simple write up on communication.support on using HxD to make the CPS R6.12.05 go out of band with a r split radio.

Yeah I unchecked that APF box and pow, booming audio!!
I have all my stuff set as follows:

Audio sounds good, some say base is the audio through rptr but as for Tac channels it sounds nice on RX end.

Java

Thr audio coming out of the speaker sounds like a small cellphone on speaker phone. Is there a setting somewhere in CPS or something wrong that it sounds like this? When compared to say a xts1500 it sounds bad, tinny, weak. There is an option in CPS for RX thin something but I do not have that check...

I tried companding on a UHF repeater and those of us who use XTS and XTL said the audio was SUPER Bassey. It seems the best option is turning De And pre Emphasis on, AGC on for Expansion type.

What does it do?

Java

I have ordered a few batteries and they have 2015 date codes, does this mean the HT series (HT750 / HT1250) is still in production? Also, there are a few eBay sellers with model 2s BNIB, but they don't say HT1250 on the label where the mic hole is. I was under the impression those are Chinese copies?
