We are preparing for installation of the APX7500 with O9 head into the 2014 Ford PI Utility. We have ordered the PI Utility with the four buttons on the steering wheel that give grounded outputs at the equipment interface under the center console. My question- does anyone have experience with this t...

Who has any news on the P25 pager that is in the works?

I do not have any aliases set up to match the incoming RIDs. The incoming RID displays (just the number) but only after the secure key name shows on the display. The secure key name it is displaying is what is entered in the multikey list in the secure wide settings.

k5rpd

Anyone know how to get an APX portable to stop displaying the secure key name on the display on receive? I would much rather see the RID display instead of the secure key name. (yes, I realize that after the secure key name shows on the display that the RID shows next- but by that time the user is f...

I am trying to understand the different ways that CKR can be used in combination with KID in A25 mode and LID in ASN mode. I have read through the topics on CKR/KID/LID/PID etc but still have a few questions. Here's the situation: The system is 700/800 P25 Digital trunked. Mcc7500 consoles with mult...

I have an APX7500 UHFR1/7/800 with an O9 head sitting in a box waiting to be installed. I'll post a pic or two and feedback once it is in and working. It will be fully controlling radio, lights, siren, gun lock, PA, etc.

I have been trying to use the "scanning conventional voice frequencies" of the 9600 P25 site in question and cannot seem to get this unit to receive only a single talkgroup (it unmutes on all traffic). It is an XTL5k consolette (W7, 800mhz). I'm scanning the 4 voice frequencies- selective ...

Will the APX series such as the 7000/7500 do the DMR protocol in addition to the normal P25 trunked and conventional?
Radio would be 800/UHF R1.

I'm looking for info on systems that are in place using either IP Site Connect, Capacity Plus, or the new Connect Plus.

I have been researching the TRBO system planner for Connect Plus multisite digtial trunking and have a question for the trunking gurus... Page 62 (for those of you who have the planner) talks about the RSSI settings that would trigger roaming and connection to a site and also talks about "balan...

My thought on the two antennas is to avoid the losses in a duplexer and to be able to run a preamp on the receive (mounted at the antenna) if the noise floor is low enough. My plan for now is to mount an antenna as high as I can on the tower and then measure the noise floor and possibly even go ahea...

It took me a while but I finally found it on MOL... Just FYI to anyone else looking for it- The search function on MOL did not find it for me. I had to sort through the Manuals section to find it.
Thanks again,

I'm trying to figure out if I have the latest version of the system planner for MotoTRBO. The one I have is "6880309T12" with a date of March 2010. It makes no mention of Connect Plus (the multisite trunking variety of TRBO) and that is the info I am most interested in. Thanks in advance f...

Thanks for the info on the 3920 settings- I'm still very new to using it and could use lots of advice on it. I did get on Aeroflex's website and download the various articles to learn it. I'll give those settings a try and see what I come up with.

Micors- I know they are old but they are workhorses!

I am looking for the test set for the micor schematic.
I can get along ok using a simple multimeter, but the test set seems like it would follow the manual easier and be a snap to tune that way.
