So if Motorola wont add it, is there any other way?? Hex editing?? etc??

Jay G.

Hello all.

Just bought some used XTS1500's UHF. Was under the impression that they all came with channel announcement now. Obviously these didnt.. THey are updated with the latest firmware. It's greyed out on the screen. Any ideas??

Jay G.

Has anyone figured out an OOB mod for SL300?? need to get a 471 freq into a 403-470 radio!

Thanks!

Jay G.

Thank you!!! Will let you all know how it turns out!

Jay G.

Ok, trying to get this set up today. I made the cable, but have a question:

The setup I have is a UHF repeater with PL (186.2), and a Low band CDM which is CSQ.
Pin 8 settings: On the repeater side, PL & CSQ detect, while on the CDM set to CSQ detect>

Does this sound right???

thanks!!

Jay G.

Thank you for replying. That's exactly what I did. Was hoping there was some other way that I could make it work without going into a virtual machine.

Jay G.

Ok, dusted off my M1225 CD to program and old radio, but I cant get it to install on Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit version. Says I need a win32 version. Any suggestions or tricks???

thanks!

Jay G.

Good day all I was asked to reprogram our FD's radios. We are LICENSED on the SW. read one radio, added and deleted what was needed to be done and programmed the one radio. Went to clone it to the next one and couldnt - Cant figure out how to. Is there a way to clone radios???? I hope so - Hate havi...

Here's my project: Existing UHF GR1225 working perfectly. Looking to put in an additional channel to function as a crossband repeater. Low band in, UHF out. Only single direction. Can I set this as a separate channel that when the crossband is active, it switches automatically to that channel??? I k...

Jay G.

Good Day all!

I have an xts2500 UHF radio.
Any channel programmed to DPL is always open - seems to be csq on receive no matter what.
Is there a setting that I am missing??

HELP!!!

Jay G.

Jay G.

Hi Guys!

Thank you for the information!
Sorry I havent been on here recently. Jim - Never got the email??

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I appreciate your help. I will let you know how it turns out!

Jay G.

Ok I am trying to figure out the following: I have a XTL mobile mic which is the ONLY mobile mic which Motorola has as water resistant. I am essentially planning to hack off the end of the plug to be used with a CDM radio. I need the pinout of the mic jack so i can figure out which pins/wires do wha...

Jay G.

Yes am planning to use the accessory connector - Running 22/8 for the 2 radios for mics and 18/4 for the speakers (2 conductors each).

thanks to all for the help

Jay G.

Hello all

I am in desperate need of a pinout diagram for the XTL mic jack. Any one???

thank you!

jay G.

Jay G.

Looking for wire color pinout for a HMN1089B microphone.

thanks!

Jay G.

Hello all

I am adding two remote mics (one each) to two base station radios.

Can I use ONE piece of shielded wire for the two separate radios?? ie: 22/6 shielded.

I know I need mic hi, PTT and ground from each radio.

They are both from the same power source.

Thank you for the advice!!!

Jay G.

Hello all. Just picked up an xts2500 UHF. Works great from the internal mic. I use some external accessories which I've had for years for the gp300 series by using an audio adapter. ( speaker mic and surveillance kit). Issue I'm having is the tx audio from the accessory mic is delayed in starting. I...

Jay G.

Hello and thanks for taking the time to read this. I run a small volunteer security group. We use 2 simplex business band frequencies which we are licensed on: ie: 461.000 and 466.000. We are going to be working an event at two local separate locations and want to keep each event on it's own channel...

Hello All! Here's the project: Crossband repeater using a motorola RICK HLN3333 and a pair of CDM1250 radios Radio 1: Low band 46mhz Carrier squelch Radio 2: UHF 453mhz with PL I have the jumpers set on the rick correctly, but am having an issue programming the radio correctly. can anyone help?!?!?!...

Jay G.

Hello guys! Have a tough sensitive issue which I'm trying to help out with. We have a volunteer security detail at my temple every Saturday during services. We have over 70 members as part of our team. One of our members was injured in an accident several years ago, and as a result has extremely lim...

Jay G.

I always use amplified speakers - Allows for plenty of extra push and wont strain the onboard factory amp.

Jay G.

Ok, voice inversion. Any other "real" M radios which monitor this? XTS, MTS2k, etc?? We're trying to get a grant for additional radios, but want something a bit better then what we have now.

Jay G.

Hello all. I am a volunteer with a local security group. On duty we use Motorola RDU2020 radios. These are 2 channel 2 watt radios. These have some type of encryption built in which we use. Does anyone know what type it is, and if it can be added to any of the other motorola radios, ie xts, etc... T...

Jay G.

Hello. I know the software can be downloaded from Motorola for free. The programming cable goes between the charger and the PC. It seems to be a standard USB cable. Does anyone know if I can use a standard USB cable or if there is something special and i must buy a cable from Motorola. Thanks!

Jay G.

Does anyone know what are the factory default settings for the 2 channel MOtorola RDU2020. I am looking for both frequency and PL settings for both.

Please email: jayg359@aol.com

Thanks in advance.

Jay G.

Jay G.

I have one thats been on the air for 14 years which blew the PA last year. I sent it to Motorola for flat rate, and they refurbished the whole thing. It wasnt too bad $$ either... Working great now!

Jay G.

Hello all! Radio: Remote mounted CDM1550ls+ UHF in my van for last 2 yrs. Here's my issue. Last few days my radio wont shut itself off when i turn my truck off. It turns on with IGN but wont turn off. it already killed my battery in my truck twice until i realized what was going on. Any ideas?? Than...

Jay G.

Thanks!

Ok, one more question:

AAM25SKD9AA2AN vs AAM25SKD9PW2AN??

Jay G.

Hey Guys (and gals!)

I bought a CDM1250 UHF 40 watt radio recently, and just looked at the model #. Instead of the usual AAM25SKD9AA2AN, this radio is AAM25SKD9AA2QS. Any ideas what the difference(s) are??

thanks!

Jay G.

I think jack hit it on the head. I'm pretty sure it is the computers. I pulled all the fuses one at a time and lost over 210ma of draw from 2 of the computers.

Thanks to all!

Jay G.

Hello all! My own personal truck is a 99 ford explorer xlt. I have 3 CDM1550's and a bunch of lights installed, NONE of which stays on when the car shuts off. I have been experiencing a dead battery too often lately, and want to make sure its not something aftermarket or just simply a bad battery. I...

Jay G.

Sucess! I found out the hard way that the RICKS will only allow it to use this setup with GM300's. it wont work with maxtracs or CDM1250's.....No clue why though...

Jay G.

Ok, spent a few hrs today at the site trying to get it working, with no luck. Is it possibly the fact that i'm using CDM's and not GM300's?

Any ideas?

Am I better getting an amateur controller to do this?

Jay G.

Currently, its a crossband setup, and both radios are actually CDM1250's The goal here is to add a low power GM300 or similar as a UHF input only radio. So I guess, YES i will be switching it over to a true UHF inband repeater with the VHF link. Q: Will the VHF be able to rebroadcast EVERYTHING from...

Jay G.

Hello All. I'm sure someone out here can give me the right way of doing this. Existing bi-directional crossband repeater - VHF to UHF. I want to add a UHF input which would output to BOTH the UHF and VHF side. Essentially creating a true UHF to UHF repeater, and the output from the repeater goes out...

Jay G.

Hey all. Question: A friend bought a used XTS3000 at a hamfest, sold "as-is". Radio powers up, and goes through self test, and then totally dies. When the radio was read with s/w, it said the radio was basically locked using selective radio inhibit. Is there any way of reviving this radio ...

Jay G.

I always use marine deep cycle lead acid batteries. I have found them to last the best. We very rarely have a power failure issue and do have a generator but I like to be prepared anyway.

Jay G.

Hello all. I have a Quantar 100w UHF repeater in my FD. Came with the battery revert option. A few questions about getting it fully setup, if you please: 24v or 12v battery? Do I NEED any sort of controller or just wire the plug right to the batteries? What about overcharging? issue or not? anything...

Jay G.

I agree that they are recieving correctly. I think most of the problem is that they are recieving signals from great distances, much further then what we need or want, but since our county doesnt use PL on these channels, we have no way of limiting what the reciever picks up....

Jay G.

Hello All! Here's the situation: 2 LOW band mobiles with NO PL enabled (countywide system) installed in a rack at HQ for use with our main base station. Both radios for no apparent reason begin to squelch uncontrollably on various frequencys, not always on the same frequency or at the same time. Our...

Jay G.

Current setup is a UHF to VHF crossband repeater using 2 gm300s and a rick. we want to make a true UHF to UHF machine, and also interface it with VHF both ways: All UHF portables will TX on 468.XXX and RX on 463.XXX We also use 154.XXX simplex which is main dispatch. We want everything from the UHF ...

Jay G.

i use pyramids with excellent results! They work very well.

Jay G.

Anyone have any clues?? I'm still baffled by this one??

Jay G.

UHF CM300 BRAND new. Programmed by dealer who radio was bought from, then checked by a friend who has s/w. MDC1200 is set for decode on one channel, both individual ID (1598) and group ID (610). When paging the radio: Works when paging the individual unit, but not group. Any ideas?? Could it be sele...

Jay G.

Ok, so I did an install on an 08 Altima GLE. Lights & sirens. didnt touch anything with factory wiring at all. Here's what happened: Panic button on remotes stopped working. Thats it. Now i'm getting blamed for it. I honestly dont know if it was working before i started or not. Car owner took th...

Jay G.

i just use 3 wire jumpers. works fine.

Jay G.

Heres the situation: On my CDM1250, the group setting for MDC1200 system is " 610". I need to set this same setting up on a Spectra A5. From what I've found on the spectra, the settings are different. The group only has 2 numbers, and the FLeet has one. Whats the right way of setting this ...

Jay G.

I have this same setup using GM300's. I wired one mic through the back accessory connector. pin 7 ground, pin 2 mic audio, pin 3 mic PTT. Wire both radios's accessory connectors the same way and tie them together. Works well for me!

Jay G.

YES Ex500,600,600xls,ex-560 are all the same.

Jay G.

CDM1250 UHF - Is it possible that ANY time the radio is powered up to have it revert to channel XX?? My brain surgeons keep changing channels to listen to other FD's and then never switch it back. Then they wonder why dispatcher cant hear them.

thanks!
