First off thank you for the help.
I do have a ACU1000 in our moble command post and it works well.
In my other job I work for a school district and my boss is looking for a way to link schools during a lock down “man with a gun” event.
The NXU unit may do what I am looking for.

I am wondering if anyone has any experience tying different campus’s together over Ethernet.
We have simplex vhf radios at each campus and I want to tie them together in one system in an emergency.
We have the network now so I am looking for a bridge to tie the radio to the network.
It sounds like ...

BrienD

Did anyone ever get this working?
I am having the same problem.

I did try to get the brass to use CLMARS thy opted to use some of their MA radios with our cp.
I do love how I can always get a good cross section of options when I ask a question.
Thank you for all of the info and I well look into a MA/Com cable just incase.

Our county fire agencies have their act together. We share some BK cashes and it works well.
We don’t have time when we get activated to call a coms. guy from some other agency. We can go any ware in California on short notice. I was just wondering how hard it might be to make some code plugs for my ...

I am looking for some direction on a somewhat off topic question.
My agency was called out to a mutual aid event Saturday. The agency we wear supporting is using a 800 Meg trunked system, EDACS standard.
I have a ACU1000 with cables for Jedi and BK portables also vhf hi and low and uhf.
I have 800 ...

I well move my HD to a slower box and try it.
Thank you

BrienD

I know I have read about this problem before, I can’t find it in the archives.
I have a HT600 H34SVU7160CN
I am trying to read the radio with the HT600 RSS R02.03.01.
The Computer is a 333 MHz P1. Running only Dos.

I can’t get it to read, it will not pass the com test.
The rib and computer well ...

BrienD

This may sound stupid but I have had polarity issued hooking up headsets before.
Volume was low until I omed out the cable and found the reversal.

BrienD

If you are trying to activate the internal speaker and all you need is to short the twp pins I think 15-16, I use a computer jumper. I just bought ten for .99 at my local computer parts store.

We have about 150 Latitude 600 series computer at work and we are having a problem with the display power regulators going out. We have lost about 10% and some of those are out of warranty.
Besides that they are good.

BrienD

You could put your old hard drive into a external usb drive case and than it might give you more time to find the files you need.

BrienD

Cool. I spent today making a new personality with all of my channels zones names.
I am planning to copy the alignment info from booth radios before I start and use the saber II setup info to start.
It is still in the mail so I am chomping at the bit.
Thanks for the info.
Brien

BrienD

I wanted another opinion so hear goes.
I have a saber I that is programmed in the 155 area. My agency has added more channels so I found a deal on a saber II but it is in the lower split that ends at 150.
Can I just swap out the modules and load a new personality.
Or do I make a new personality hex ...

Scanner recorder works to and it is shareware.

BrienD

I was the person that ordered the repeater and it is the only one in the district. It does have a phone patch into the PBX but it is beyond the users so they don’t use it. Most other schools do what they want I happened to be in the right place at the right time and got to spend some money when the ...

BrienD

They are looking for new and we have some CP150s in the district and theay are working out good. What version of RSS is used to program them.

BrienD

I have been asked to recommend a portable radio for a group at work.
They have a UHF repeater and license for four simplex channels.
It is a school so nothing to high tech. They are using SP50s now but I would like to look at Icom or Kenwood also. I have no idea on what replaced the SP50 so let me ...

BrienD

Not that It maters but I am looking at a Dell ad and the only laptop that has a serial port is the 600M. It is not the most expensive model at $1299 base price.
I have installed 95 of them in the past month and only had two bad ones.

I think the canopy system is a wide area wireless internet system. I got some info from Tessco a wile back on it.

OK what is NSP?

Most of the speakers wire that I have seen I call zip cord. I f you look close one of the wires is covered with a ribbed insulator.
As stated it doesn’t matter.

BrienD

Am I reading your post correctly?
You want to use a saber speake4r mikes on a ht1000?
Ht 1000 speaker mikes are pretty easy to find around hear, I have a Jedi speaker mike I may trade you if you are interested.
Brien

BrienD

I think UHF is the way to go. I will allow you to go to a repeater later down the road without replacing all of your portables. I also agree that it will help your coverge.

BrienD

It sounds like you are using one channel Dot frequencies (SP10). Are you planning to up grade? If so that may drive your decision. My paying job is for a school district and we use SP 50s at our site that has a repeater. We use sp10s at most others. Administrators always lose radios and I would hate ...

I hear our job is tied into a Homeland Security grant.
We are moving our court security to 800 now and moving them to 700 after the county changes over.
The radios I see from Motorola look like they are set up for this by being wide band 700 and 800.
Brien

BrienD

Just heard my agency is planning to go to 700 megahertz in the next five years. Has any one had a similar experience lately?
I seam to recall a nationwide push to do this.
I haven’t heard what mode or any other details.
Brien

BrienD

Do you have an idea of how many lines you will need and how many phone sets you need? It will give us a idea of what will fit your needs.
Are you thinking of using a cordless phone system or tying the phone to the radios?
As fair as using 1A2 KTS for your project, I have installed KTS in fire ...

BrienD

I didn’t mean to sound like a b#** head. When I see the ANI reference I got confused. ANI does not have a database it speaks the number you are dialing from.
800 numbers are similar to caller ID. In that they send info.
And yes they all transmit info of one sort or another by one way or another.
It ...

BrienD

I know this has been driven into the ground but.
ANI= Automatic Number Idnenafation
A system that when dialed verbally speaks the number that you are calling from.

When you dial 1 800 numbers your number are calling from is sent before the ring is sent. Most big call centers have systems that ...

It sounds like you have done your research and you don’t want my input. But from my experience you should not tie yourself to your vehicle.
In CA SAR and dog teams have to be prepared to be but in an aircraft and moved to where you are needed

I remember reading a clarification in one of my radio magazines that said the government specified that the squad radio had to be a maxim power of 500mw. They wear concerned that with a limited number of channels they did not want the squads talking over each other. Also they did not want the other ...

In the past I have traced problems like this by using component freeze spray.
I run the device until the trouble appears and freeze parts until the problem clears up.
I would start wear the speaker leads go to the pc board.

BrienD

I have learned more from this board than I ever learned from any other group.
Monty I will Email you, and gentlemen thank you as usual.

I have a Saber I secure capable submersible that someone had tried to pry off the knobs.(not me)

After the black outer knob broke they super glued them together. Last night they fell apart.
1.Do I have to replace the whole knob?
2. Are they available from Motorola?
3. How are they replaced

BrienD

Monty
Thank you
By the way you imprested me a wile back when someone had asked about making a Jedi cable you went out of your way and explained how to do it. Even though you sell them you shared your knoleg.
Thank you once again.

Do the Astro Saber and the Saber use the same speakermic? The audio pinouts look the same.

BrienD

I would put an amp meter on the B+ (With engine off and key off )and unplug the accessories until you find your biggest drop. And if the device is working properly put it on a switch or Tie it into the Ignition.

BrienD

Is this the round eight-pin mike to u/16 programming cable? If so I have one and I can meter it out if you want me to.
