Batboard

Flatbush97

Actually, the consolette needed to go. The caps were changed a bunch of times and we were having issues again so definately not worth the time or effort on a 25+ year radio. I spoke to Gai Tronics yesterday and they informed me that there was an additional Pot (Pot3) on the board of the tone remote ...

Flatbush97

If MDC is handled through the console does it require flat audio?

Flatbush97

Will I need to change anything on the radio programming side? Such as enabling handset or Hang Up Box etc or will the CDM realize it is coming from the accessory connector and handle it differently?
Thanks for your response.

Flatbush97

All, Due to narrow banding I recently replaced my spectra consolette with a tone remote setup using a GaiTronics ITA2000. After playing around with different dip switch settings as well as radio programming I have succeeded in getting the setup up and running. I noticed that the output volume, which...

Thanks all

Flatbush97

All, Sorry if this is a silly question. If I were to upgrade the firmware on a CDM radio (current firmware over 10 years old) will the radio have to be retuned? Obviously the prefered answer would always be to retune the radio but I am not a radio tech so would rather avoid if possible. If the tunin...

Flatbush97

Can you confirm that with the correct firmware, they all should,at least in theory be cps password protectable? does this include non keypad radios?
Thanks

Flatbush97

All, Anyone have a list of which radios can be password protected so that the average (non batlabs) person can't easily read the radio? Most of our radios are pro series radios but there does not seem to be a consistant way to know which radios are able to be password protected. I can have two of th...

Flatbush97

All, I recently picked up a C100 remote with MDC signaling capabilities. The remote works well with no issues. I was wondering if anyone knew of a key combination that would allow me to change the screen contrast as it seems very light. I assume that this can be adjusted. I have a "page" b...

Flatbush97

I know that MDC 1200 is a two way protocol, but.... Does there exist a pager that would decode MDC signalling? I work in a volunteer EMS system that uses MDC to dispatch calls.. Each area has an MDC group that is alerted when there is a call in the neighborhood. Individuals can also be alerted as we...

Flatbush97

Is this something a novice (at least in this aspect

) can attempt or will I need a service monitor or such to configure?

Flatbush97

If a spectra consolette states it has the tone remote option does that mean it will function with a tone remote handset but needs an adapter or it has one built in and just requires the actual tone remotes?

Flatbush97

Has anyone modified version 6.06.07 yet? Does anyone know the address to look for?

Thanks

Flatbush97

That sucks
Thanks

Flatbush97

Anyone know where to order the cable that connects the voiceducer box to the radios? I have a couple of differant radios that I would like to share the voiceducer with instead of buying another one.

Thanks
Aaron

Flatbush97

I actually recommended them issuing the Individual IDs differantly so that you could wildcard them as well. Unfortunately my $.02 was worth exactly that.

Flatbush97

Thats not correct. They do not alert me specifically unless they need me. They tone out a neighborhood and if I were available I would radio in. The alert is not on an individual basis, it is on a group basis which is why i would need to monitor two groups at a given time.

Flatbush97

In a nutshell, it is a volunteer EMS agency that uses one frequency townwide. MDC is used so that one need not hear radio traffic unless a call ison your side of town in which case your group is alerted. My problem? I live on the border between two divisions and would like to be alerted if either of...

Flatbush97

I am willing to use any radio. I have a 1550 as well as a EX600XLS. Im not sure if I understand your response. I currently have 2 areas set in my radio which is good if I am in a particular area. If I am on the border and want to be alerted to BOTH at the same time I am not sure how to do it. In oth...

Flatbush97

All, Anyone know of a radio that will monitor two MDC Groups at a time? The issue is we use MDC Groups to Call Alert radios for a particular area. There are some who are on the border of two areas and would respond to either area if they were alerted. Currently these people are forced to leave their...

Does anyone have any suggestions on brands? Any links to online sites? At worst case if anyone knows o...

Flatbush97

Jim,
Thanks for the response. I will check. I believe that i am either using a whelen or a federal signal "box" speaker... I dont remember which one was installed for which siren but it definately was not a dynmax or galls speaker.

Flatbush97

I have checked all of that ... the interesting thing is that it only gives the error as soon as you turn on the siren. It then shuts off (the sound) and then continues as would be expected.. this would not be the case with a floating ground or a short (IMHO)

Flatbush97

It went from a 1998 Crwn Vic PI to a new 2004 Suburban

Flatbush97

Hi, I just moved my known working HLN1185B into a new vehicle. It is attached to an A9 spectra, the same one as it was attached to before. When I turn on the siren functions it starts for a second, stops and gives a SPKR SHORT error then continues on without any problems. This is reproduceable, and ...

How would a group id show up? would it have an EXXX or is there some other differance between a unit id and a group id?

Flatbush97

Anyone know if there is any pagers made that will decode MDC? I am not interested in a transmitter to respond to an alert, just a way to receive a page either group or individual... I have a two way but there are times when a pager is more inconspicous... I asked about this once before but noone see...

Flatbush97

Can you provide the full model number for the radio that you are trying to read? What firmware version? Do you have a version of software that WILL read the radio?

Flatbush97

While I was not sure of the reason I did stumble across that solution... thanks

Flatbush97

All, I am trying to add PTT (post) MDC ID to a VHF Systems saber. I am not trying to setup any other MDC options. I have done countless Sabers but not too many Systems Sabers... I was setup the unit ID (F4-F6-F2). I then went into the channel specific info (F4-F6-F8) and did not see anywhere to turn...

Flatbush97

To clarify, what I noticed was the following. When I installed 6.05AA on my machine in the help->about it was showing that it was an LA and AA release. Since I had previously installed an LA version it now gave me access to both, ie it did not remove access to a region, rather it added access to the...

Flatbush97

This hack will allow any version 6.0 or above Pro Series CPS program all available regions, not just the region installed. I tried this with R06.05AA on a fresh machine and was able to confirm AA, LA and AZ. Obviously, one should only try this if you are comfortable with editing your registry... Ple...

Flatbush97

I was wondering if anyone knows the translation of the regions in the pro series radios. I have come across the following to date...
AA - Americas
LA - Latin Americas
AZ - Asia Pacific
MD - ?
FD - ?

Are there any other regions that I have missed?
Thanks

Flatbush97

Update: I changed the id to be post and the preamble went away... not ideal but it worked.. thanks all

Flatbush97

I checked various codeplugs that I have and confirmed that there is the preamble option on some and not others. I also confirmed that my A9 with 6.02 firmware does not have the ability to choose. My goal is to do whatever is needed to get rid of the extra sound as it is the only radio in the system ...

Flatbush97

Is there a way to configure that there is no pretime and it will only transmit the id? I checked the firmware and it is version 6.02

Flatbush97

Thanks everyone... I will check when I get home. I do not remember seeing Preamble on the MDC options screen..I will double check. This radio is an EBay radio that I have had for close to two years without any problems. It is in excellent shape, other than this, which is probably an error on my part...

Flatbush97

Where would I find that? I dont recall seeing a setting for that... Is it on the Service menu?

Thanks

Flatbush97

All, I tried adding MDC to my VHF A9 with a 6+ firmware on it. The ID is correctly displayed on other radios but it sounds funny. It sounds almost like a telephone ringing before the actual id during the id transmission. My radio does not support RAC and I turned off all status messaging... is there...

If memmory serves correct, there is a differant speaker for the Saber III which routes the DTMF audio into the mic output. If you look at the speaker there should be two differant connections made. One to the main board and one to the shield. If it only goes to the main board then that may be your p...

FYI, I have found a simple way of copying channels between various model numbers. Open the file in a text editor and copy the S - Records into the new model file. You will probably need to rename the zones but all channel info should be ok
