As an alternative. take a look at the CFSound III by ACS. http://www.cfsound.com/index_CFSound.asp It will store wav files and can be optioned to play on dry contact, loop, or via serial. I have a couple in use and can't say anything bad about them other then the price.

How would this be ...

Kleptein

Great information... I'm wondering if we can add our own tone somehow? Is it possible to upload a wav file or other format sound file, or are we just limited to those 3?

Kleptein

Does anyone know if its possible to add a custom alert tone to a Gold Elite system? Our current system has the default single beep and repeating beep, but we'd like to add a third sound to indicate special calls. Our Motorola rep claims that there is no way to do it - two sounds is all the system is ...

Thanks for the quick replies, guys.. the radios do power up normally, no problems there. The RIB is also powered off of a power supply, so it's not a case of a weak battery. Unfortunately, too, there aren't any flourescent lights around!

Maybe I'm just SOL?

I have 8 Spectras that I picked up rather inexpensively, and would like to program them up with some conventional channels. They are 800 MHz Smartnet, Model D35ZXA5JC2AK.

Of the 8, two of them programmed no problem with my software. The other 6 won't read/program at all. I get "Serial Bus Error ...

Does anyone have a part number for the key(s) to the ML900 docking stations? Or even a source for a few of them?

Thanks...

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to break out the audio for 6 different talkgroups on a SZ 4.1 system, at the infrastructure somewhere? That is, given access to all of the infrastructure hardware and controllers, is there a simple way to pull line-level (or other) audio out of the system for ...

Kleptein

Are you talking about conventional analog and CONVENTAL Astro talkgroups (vs trunking)?

The setup is this: An ASTRO 800 MHz digital simulcast trunked system. I typically monitor 3 talkgroups on the ASTRO system, and all the talkgroups on the system are digital trunked talkgroups. I'm not sure ...

Kleptein

I'm thinking conventional channels and trunked talkgroups, which is also possible, but isn't worth it because the radio has to monitor the control channel for x amount of time before scanning the conventional channels- you're bound to miss a lot.

-JOsh

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I ...

Kleptein

I think I know the answer to this, but there's always someone out there that seems to have another way of doing things!

Is it possible to scan both conventional channels and ASTRO groups at the same time with the XTS3500/5000?

Thanks!

Yes, Alan.. we'll be taking over the master site as well. We are currently 4.1.

Our department is on the verge of taking over the maintenance responsibility for our 2 zone SmartZone system from Motorola, as the warranty period is expiring. We've asked Motorola for a list of suggested spares, but I'd like to get some suggestions from the real world.

The system is 2 zones ...

Does anyone have any idea, from a proposal or otherwise, what /\/\ charges for a WNG box, aka Wireless Network Gateway? Trying to compare apples to apples as much as possible on a data system proposal.

Thanks all.

Todd... Great information. I'm definitely going to look into that. One other thing: They show us statistics once a month, which includes calls and PTTs. For some reason calls are always higher, which doesn't make sense. If calls are 250, how can PTTs be 70?? We asked them at our last meeting, and ...

Thanks for the help, xmo. We'll just stick with what they tell us until we can figure it out otherwise!

Thanks again.

Thanks for that complete reply. The funny thing is, this information CAME from the system administrator. Our County's system has 31 sites, and three separate zones. Within the zone the sites are simulcast.

We have been told that it is foolish to have a talk group that covers the entire County, but ...

Kleptein

Here's the scenario:

A 3 zone ASTRO SmartZone 4.1 system (Zones A, B, and C), a talkgroup we'll call TAC exists across all 3 zones - that is, the coverage is seamless across the entire region.

If the zone controller for Zone B fails, and Zone B goes into failsoft, do users of the TAC talk group ...

I'm looking for someone that could be considered an expert on the RNC3000, and can answer some questions for me - that Motorola can't. Anyone that has modified their RNC, or knows it in depth - please send me a PM or reply with an e-mail address for some specific questions.

Thanks!

Actually, the templates are already created an in use. This would just be adding more units. I remember 10 years or so ago they used to do it, but now the local guy claims they don't. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't being done anywhere else!

Kleptein

Thanks, 1A12.. we did check with the local rep, and were told that it isn't offered. It seems hard to believe, so I'd like to get some hard evidence that it is done elsewhere and take that back to him.

Kleptein

Has anyone ever heard of Motorola programming trunked equipment at the factory? A local city is about to purchase about 900 units, XTL5000s and a variety of XTS portables, and the local shop has said that it will take them about 5 weeks to program them.

Can you supply a template/program to ...

Kleptein

Thanks, Karl. I should have been more specific about the setup.

It is a mobile system, Motorola VRS, connecting to an Astro Spectra - all in a vehicle. It really is a mobile repeater in the truest sense, and the portables are set to 2W on the mobile repeater frequency as required. It all seems ...

Kleptein

I was recently told that it was illegal to cross band from a UHF conventional channel or repeater with a VRS that then transmits via an ASTRO Spectra. The equipment is, of course, irrelvent, it's more the concept and setup that I'm pointing out: Conventional or Repeater, UHF into an 800 trunked ...

There is 'more to it' so if you are looking to duplicate the way Motorola interfaces to the headset you probably still want to see the Centracom schematics.

The Motorola headset jack box contains active circuitry. It is supplied with 15 VDC from the operator position electronics. It biases the mic ...

Kleptein

If what you want is the wiring of the headset plug itself, that's easy.

The headsets have a pair of 1/4" plugs.

The jack can be wired for either 'four wire' or 'six-wire' headsets.

The transmit audio is across the two TIPS.
The receive audio is across the two SLEEVEs.
The PTT switch is across ...

I have an MT2000 with a cracked front display, other than that its in perfect working order. Is it more practical to just order the entire assembly with the display and all (NTN7154A for $127) or can I just replace the LCD or even the flex and guts inside?

Any suggestions?
