Depending on when ASK was programmed by the Master key owner. . . . they may not have enabled the proper check boxes for the XTL/XTS series radios.

Did you get this resolved? First, I would double check the Tone Segment, Tone Sequence, Tone Command, and Tone Table configurations you have setup in PM. First check that the custom Tone Table references the correct Tone Command that would map the F1 TX and F1 Select to the Tone Sequence that sends...

If u mean the T3011 I don't think I threw our keyloader out yet. If you want the battery (its no good but usable for gutting), PM me a mailing address and I'll package it up and drop it in the mail if its still on the shelf. If I remember right, I think it might have been an STX battery but don't re...

As a System Administrator for a Regional P25 System- I'd say- first- check with the System Owner to verify they still accept XTS3000's onto the system. Second- Since the XTS3000 is beyond end of life, end of support, you probably aren't going to get upgrades from Motorola to enable the P25 option se...

Pulling ASTRO25 Portable and Mobile v20.01 at 1.1 MB/sec each. so for 1.2 GB should be around 10 minutes by the looks of things.

Assume dispatch is using a 110w XTL5000 BUT the dispatch RX pre-amp is NOT enabled. If dispatch is having difficulty hearing 50w XTL5000 mobiles in the middle of the sticks then a better and cheaper solution would be to enable the dispatch XTL5000 4dB pre-amp rather than suggesting that all the 50w...

Just so you don't stumble and end up scratching your head. If by some chance you end up with a Motorola consolette radio as one of your tone control radios, be aware that Motorola screwed the pooch on that one with the channel stepping.

What makes these particular duplexers a nightmare to tune (at least for me) is the tight reject notch. . . controlled by loosening a thumbscrew and sliding a slider. . .

Those are the same duplexers sitting in my MSF5000 225 W UHF Repeater and are operating fine on 443.750/448.750 with 225 watts into the cans. . . . .
they are a little touchy to tune and take some time to set up properly. . . .
As always this is my $2.25 and YMMV!
