Hello all,

Can a XTS5000 Model 2 be compatible with FPP? (ie. using the arrow keypad to move cursor and change frequencies)

Thanks

dxon2m

Wow thank you all for the really great inputs. Luckily the site has sufficient coverage from the neighboring sites (the system was designed with overlap coverage) but certainly it is one of the factor will be taken in place. Telco and T1s will most likely be an issue for us but one of tasks is to mo...

Hi all, We currently have a 10'x15' radio shelter with a 60 ft ice bridge connected with two microwave dish and several 800 MHz antennas on a 150' tower on a mountain top. Our agency have been contemplating on relocating the radio shelter and are debating to place it 15 ft closer to the tower but on...

Hello all,

Is the bluetooth option board transferable from APX7000 to APX8000? Both radios have BT option enabled in flashcode.

Thanks!

dxon2m

Yep mine has R13.05.00 firmware and I have set to mixed mode.

When I try to set visibility to on, I get a message BT Search Failed immediately and it stays Visibility off.

When I try to turn on Search Devices, I get a message Clear All BT devices failed

Thanks

Hi all, I have a APX7000 M3.5 with bluetooth board and feature flashed (checked using the five button press trick during start up, and I can see the board info, MAC address..etc). I get an error "visibility fail" almost immediately when I try to perform a bluetooth discovery. Any idea what...

just want to confirm that the hidden talkgroup method works with Phase II talkgroup, I haven't tried X2 talkgroups yet.

dxon2m

Just an FYI to check on your monitor...... BOTH the generator out AND the RF ANTENNA ports ( BNC connectors ) are fused. Simply unscrew the BNC and check the little green pico fuses. They are like 1/16 amp or something very small. You were right! Whadayaknow! I actually had another 2670 and all is ...

I have a R2670 and am trying to perform front end filter alignment on my APX. I set a test signal with no modulation at -14dbm at the lowest test frequency and the RSSI number barely spiked. The tuner complained check input rf signal. I tried the highest frequency and the tuner was able to perform a...

dxon2m

That's what I heard too, but since the radio gets all its channel and slot assignment from the control channel, may be it will work just like on a phase 1 system.

dxon2m

Anyone tried the hidden talkgroup method for Phase II or X2 systems?

dxon2m

Thanks TreyH, indeed they do carry the software, $99.

I have a XPR6550 with LTR Passport board installed. When I read the radio in CPS 7.6 it does not have any options I can choose for LTR. Is there a menu somewhere that I have to enable to see configurations for LTR?

dxon2m

Looked at the codeplug supersite but no luck, anyone can email me one please.

Thanks

My XTS5000 fails to upgrade to 17.01.01_A when I attempt to download. It keeps complaining invalid firmware.

I loaded 17.01.01 and the radio came back to life, no problems.

stay away from _A firmware?

dxon2m

I tried plugging in the 3.5mm earpiece to the mic, no audio coming over either. I don't have another audio accessory to play with.

Tom can you send me a link of the mic you bought?

Thanks

Hey everyone, I got a PMMN4062A (non-display) speaker mic for my APX7000 M3 that has zero audio output. PTT, emergency button works, but just no audio on the speaker at all. I checked the radio profile to make sure audio is routed to both internal speakers (not muted), but still no luck. Is there ot...

Found this video youtube the other day and it makes me itchy to start my next project... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHiRC8Gpovw I was wondering if anyone took the challenge and tried something similar, seems like the user used a DMO talkgroup and rebroadcast audio from a Simoco base unit. Any th...

Metropolitan Police Department at Washington DC is slowing migrating from XTS3000 UHF Model IIs to APX6000 or 7000s

dxon2m

I can hear audio traffic just fine when sitting on a channel, I don't have a mic attached but would this be the problem?

dxon2m

Yes the non priority light is lit up while sitting any channel listed in the scan list.

I recently bought a spectra at a relatively cheap price. The radio was manufactured in 1991 with white labels in back, MLM is v5 something, 128 channels, zone not supported. I have the radio recapped yesterday and its been receiving great. however the radio doesn't seem to be scanning. I have the op...

dxon2m

I guess I'm missing my beer friend, it was astro conventional.

I was able to do the same on XTS3000, just not yet on the 2500.

dxon2m

Hey everyone,

How do I get my XTS2500 to show the talkgroup alias text instead of radio ID on the display. The Radio has H14 option flashed.

Thanks

dxon2m

Turns out I lost my audio files when I formatted my computer, sorry.

dxon2m

John I *think* I have an idea what you mean. I have heard something similar on the UPS Trunked System in Louisville, every transmission on the system sounds like a motorboat in the background, the audio is OK, but the background is very noisy and this happens on all talkgroups. Also, I think the war...

dxon2m

I know it's been a few weeks since this thread was commented in, but I just wanted to add my experience with a large township in the next county that went UHF P25: I set my APX up identical to the XTS5000 that was shown to me, and did the offset-TX frequency trick on the control channels. Set the R...

dxon2m

I stand corrected, looking at the picture that I took it looked like Springfield Fire and Rescue from Virginia.. resqguy911, I was listening to PGPD Saturday and noticed they use the APXs while at Fedex field, their analog audio in 490 sounds "AGC processed" which makes me think they are u...

I assume it has something to do with them being smack in the middle of the sea of Federal $ $ ?

I believe your second statement has a lot to do in supporting the first statement.

I just came back from the Andrews Joint Service Open House today and noticed that all Prince George county police and volunteer fire department units are using the APX7000. Their old analog system is in the UHF band (490) and the new system being built is in 700MHz. Would anyone has any knowledge on...

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought all IMBE C4FM signals are 12.5khz wide?

I am going to ask a question here, I was told the system for setting all this up works ONLY on 700/800 MHz systems and will NOT work on VHF trunked? Anyone got this to work on a VHF trunked system running 9600kb CC to be able to listen to the system? Thanks Not true, I used the same method to monit...

dxon2m

Thanks to all. Questions: 1. Anybody done it with OBT and Astro radio (XTS3000/Astro Saber/Astro Spectra)? 2. How to convert TG numbers from Uniden decimal format to suitable for Motorola CPS format? Or no conversation required? Ans 1. The three systems that I monitor using the method described abo...

dxon2m

You can setup the talkgroups you want to monitor in the talkgroup list under Astro systems, than enable TGRP option in the radio menu to allow access to the talkgroup list through the radio's keypad. Have a look at this thread, it pretty much details the steps and limitations of this neat feature! h...

IIRC, GPS mic don't work on XTS2500

dxon2m

IIRC HT1250 band splits are hard coded in the firmware and cannot be modified using CPS hex edit.

I was shocked to find this hanging out in the software section free for the taking. Probably because 1.) Motorola finds that the price of CPS is neglible compared to the $7000 you would pay for the radio. 2.) Their software has a uber cool interface that has a Half Life 2 feel to it. 3.) Mexirola w...

Good that you brought that up, I always wondered why some 2500 speaker grills are squared and other ones are rounded.

dxon2m

Has anyone tried monitoring system with more than 16 voice channels? I need to get it scanning more than 16 channels but CPS won't allow me to do so.

Thanks

dxon2m

On a side note, is the removal annoucned over the control channel or not? I remember seeing something like "RADIO ID: 000123 Leave System" on trunker

dxon2m

I stand corrected. Funny I told people to call 8P8C instead of RJ45, but I made the same mistake myself 8) Anyway here's the verdict, I was able to recycle a printer cable and a spare CAT5 cable, stripped out all the wires and crimped pins and all of them. It took me two nights, 2 busted DC-37 conne...

dxon2m

Did anyone have experience with those? I am planning to make a MA-COM Orion dual radio cable (which uses all 37 pins with a DB-37 on each end). I have the connectors, but I need some idea on which type of cable to get. The Telco 25 PR cable seems to fit the budget quite nicely.

Thanks
