The post from NAND in the thread link below explains it very well. http://batboard.batlabs.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=35613&p=167726&hilit=jedi+external+ptt#p167726 Thanks! I did a forum search prior to posting and this thread didn't come up. I must have searched the wrong keywords. Thanks...

I'm working on a project for a buddy and I'm having a hell of a time getting an XTS2500 or 5000 to key up through accessory port. When I look at the pinout, I see ground, but I don't see a pad for PTT. I see a Busy pad, so I wondered if that was the PTT (kind of like Kenwood's way of using "sta...

I have an XPR4500 currently installed in my vehicle using the OEM remote head kit. I would like to mount my control head up high, but I do not want the mic hanging down in my face. From what I read (I can't seem to find the page again) the mic cable plugs into the back of the head and is basically j...

Our club XPR8400 is running mixed mode/DMR conventional as well. Been going for about a month and I haven't noticed this. Honestly, we have about 95% of use on Trbo. Just the other day a friend had the battery die on his Trbo HT, so he switched over to analog. The repeater picked right up and kept c...

Yep! Thanks! Right after posting that, I found the document CD and went through the detailed service manual to find out.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I have two brand new MTR3000's sitting here that I cannot get to key. My first concern is that they don't have wireline boards in center cage. I asked the RSS to include wireline when we ordered. They told me it was built in and didn't need cards. I have all of t...

In the interim, Wire the RX Radio's audio directly thru a 2.2 K resistor and a 2.2uF capacitor in series to the TX radio's mic input, capacitor's + towards the TX radio mic input.

I have a crummy repeater I built up using two GM300's, strapped together in the most simple form to create a repeater. It has been running for over a year without a problem, good audio too. However, I wanted to add a tail, ID and courtesy tone, so I picked up one of the new ID-O-MATIC III kits. Kit ...

So, I have been back and fourth on the phone with Moto Federal working on this project and here is what I have so far: - My topology is very simple (1) MCD5000 Deskset, (2) RGU's, (2) APX7500 Consolettes and (1) Cisco Switch (flashed to be a simple full-duplex switch). - I have successfully configur...

Sounds like the feed thru header connector/capacitor assembly IS bad. This morning I took out the old header. It IS the old part number and so far the only places I can find the new part wants about $35-37 for it. I have a GM300 that is working fine, so I decided to try a little swaptronics using t...

Pulled the boards on both sides. Cleaned the pin headers and the sockets on each board. Put it all back together and now I am about 27 kHz off frequency and osc warp still has no affect. Where is the VCO crystal located? I see one 49 style crystal that was under the pop on shield (I think this is th...

KE4NYVJR

Thanks for all of the tip! Going to work on it this morning. We have a launch coming up in a couple of days, so we can't really do any PMs or config changes until after. Leaves us with plenty of free time

KE4NYVJR

Thanks! I'll give that a shot in the morning.

I have a UHF M120 that was being used in a club repeater as the transmitter. It was running fine for about a year. I pulled it out to replace the controller, but when I went to key it up for a quick PM, the frequency was a good 40 kHz off. I attempted to "warp" the oscillator, but no matte...

KE4NYVJR

Frank,

Did you ever determine if there was any problem with the cable? I don't drop by this forum much, but I started reading this thread and noticed I made the cable, so I wanted to make sure everything was ok on that end!

Thanks!

KE4NYVJR

I realize this is after the fact, but Quickmount also made a dual-head box for the CDM series. The only problem was, they kept burning up and Quickmount just dropped the boxes since they never could fix the problem.

KE4NYVJR

I think I have my A/B setup for clear/secure, on my Astro Saber.

KE4NYVJR

I took a slightly different approach on my S-10, but here are some pics of how I did it:

KE4NYVJR

I just checked the radio's firmware at it has 5.40 installed.

dxon2m wrote:I had that issue before, The radio's firmware is not high enough to support CPS. I believe it has to be at least (R02.XX) to support it.

Hope that helps

Well, if that is the case, why can't I read/write/view the codeplug in DOS? DOS RSS says that the the codeplug is too new.

KE4NYVJR

Thats just the thing, I can't even write the codeplug that I JUST READ out of the radio, back into the radio. I am just really scratching my head.

KE4NYVJR

I did a search and came up with nothing useful... I picked up a UHF MTS2000 today and tried to reprogram it. I can read the radio fine with Windows CPS, but when I try to write it back, I get the "Verifying radio can accept codeplug", the radio goes into "CSQ" and then CPS just a...

My Astro Saber actually made it back from Mexico this week, so I'll be there in ASTRO 25 fashion. I noticed that the amateur 2M freq was not on the updated list, is that no more?

Because of the space constrictions in my S-10, I resorted to just remote faces for everything. Here is a link to the thread I have over on radioreference.com of my install.

They do make that antenna. Its a stubby 800/900MHz with SMA connector. Moto part number: 85085241U06

KE4NYVJR

The microphonics kit above is the official fix for the Jedi TX noise problem (had several of my own do it). Its easy to reproduce, just "twist" the housing a bit while TX and you'll get loud scratchy sounds over the TX audio.

I have a Astro Saber III with IMBE and a 1 Meg vocoder. When I received it, it only had 8 conventional channels programmed, all wide band (25KHz). I programmed in about 4 or 5 narrow channels in Astro and the radio programmed fine. I went in later to add 8 more narrow channels and now I get a "...

P50s are still great radios as long as the tuning slugs are in decent shape. As soon as they get loose, breathing causes them to go out of alignment. I have to retire more P50s that reason than anything. The cost for me to replace the coils, retune and set levels, with labor is not worth it. Aside f...

Is there a 900MHz ham frequency that batlabs folks hang out on at Dayton? I picked up a 900MHz handheld recently and I will probably bring it along. There is usually a repeater set up outside, but it covers the grounds inside as well. I'll be on that with my MTX9000 and I MIGHT have a VHF ASTRO Sab...

No, the Quickmount boxes use RJ45 jacks with either 8 conductor flat cable or CAT5 twisted pairs. Either way, no sheilding. We have had MANY problems with these units with CDMs. Usually resulted in toasted QM boxes.

KE4NYVJR

For some reason it escapes me, but if the W7 is the full head with DTMF, then yes they do. We have several of them in the shop right now for a county-wide project and if you can wait till Monday, I can get you a part number.

KE4NYVJR

If they are remote heads, look on the front of the main unit and you should see a rubber "plug" in the top left corner. Pull that out and you will find a second "mic jacK". This got me the first time. We were trying to program through the mic jack on the remote head. After a call...

Impressive! Any problems with heat buildup in the box? I was thinking of doing something similar. Not yet, the front of the box is pegboard, covered in the GM cloth. Its very "bereathable". One addition I might make is a fan on the left (passenger side) of the box. Drill a 2-3 inch hole a...

Guys, I am interfacing a NHRC controller to a 2 channel M120. The COR pin is active low and the controller requires an active high for the COR input.

Well, I think the price point is probably right on target for what it cost them to build the configurations, plus a little bit for them for finally doing it.
