Thank you for the information Techtonics! I hope it comes out soon.

Hello,

I was wondering if there will be a programming cable available for the ION in the near future. We have been programming them through RadioCentral but would love to be able to program the ION locally using a cable.

Thanks,

The NA SL7550 does not have the ability to do FPP. I was hoping that if I changed the region I could enable FPP. It seems that the other Mototrbo models from other than the NA market has FPP capability.

Thanks Oh2glg!

OH2GLG,

Just curious if the SL4000 EMEA radio will do FPP? I have several NA SL7550 radios that I wanted to convert to AS region SL1K for FPP purposes.

If the SL4000 will do FPP I will attempt it.

Regards,

Radiorepair

Scott thanks for helping me on this problem. I have done as you said and got all of the Checksum values to the original values however it seems that my CRC values are different than what I started with. Now when I attempt to run the software I get a general protection fault message.

I did save the ...

Thanks Rescue161, I'm trying that right now. I do have another question for you. After I edit all my figures and attempt to change an unused string to get my original checksum values do I add the figure from the hex calculator . Im using the hex calculator and get "16" . Should I delete characters ...

Just wondering why I keep getting an error (ODB file does not match runtime) after I edit the ODB file for expanded RF?

I'm trying to take a 450-512 AS3 to 440. Could anybody help?

Thanks, PHIL

Has anybody had this problem before? I just finished programming a customers Astro Saber III and completed the scan list (just one list) and when the customer activates scan it does not stop on an active channel.

I have gone over the list and personalities to check if I enabled the correct scan ...

Those wonderful days are long gone, and so are the easy fixes for todays current high tiered Moto's. Most of my time is spent sending stuff back to /\/\ (Rockford) for repair. I have found that it's far more cost effective letting /\/\ "dope" out the repair than sit at a bench trying to remove micro ...

Hmmn, What do I think of the VX10's? Well to be quite honest I think the Vertex line of Land Mobile stuff is just beefed up "ham" radio gear. I work for a shop in NY that sells and services all types of land mobile gear and the Vertex radios that I see most often are the VX10 and the VX400. Even ...

The project is to mate this old VPA to a Maxtrac. I thought it would be cool to enable voice inversion so that I could use the VPA with some Vertex VX10's that I have. I have tried the Transcrypt SC-460 rolling code stuff and also the Motorola DES equipped radios but for simple coded comms the ...

Jack, Thanks for the quick reply. The actual model number is D1021A which of course is pretty old! It's a rectangular box with 2 knobs (vol, pot), and clear/coded SW with orange lamps to indicate if in clear/ coded mode. The rear of the unit has barrier terminals numbered 1 - 20. I was trying to ...

Just wondering if anybody has a pinout sheet for an old Motorola VPA unit. I picked one up but can seem to find anything on the net regarding the pinout (screw terminals). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, PHIL

Well lets hope the depot can correct the problem, I think flat rate for Astros is $285. I sent the unit to M on Friday so I will let you all know what the outcome was. I had a few XTS3000's that I sent in for warranty repair (U.S. Mint Police) and I just put the Saber in the mix. Phil

As I said before Im not too concerned about getting any money back for it, (it was given to me). The radio works fine except that the TX/Busy led does not work. I figure for a "free" radio Im not going to complain about it. I was able to correct the scan problem with the unit by omitting the ...

Are we talking about an Astro or analog Saber?

Hmmm, The infamous Rockford Depot! OK I'll give it a shot and tell you what happens. If you don't hear from me in the next couple of weeks it will mean that M's secret police took me away (ha ha). Thanks for all the help, everybody! Phil

Thank's for the tip. If you still have the codeplug that would help out a lot. Phil

Copy that! For some reason this P.O.S. will only scan in PL off mode. The actual person who purchased this unit from Ebay gave the thing to me (great guy). But as you can see Im starting to get really tired of the thing. Thanks for the help.

Waris is the name for the new Professional Series Radios (HT750, HT1250, EX500 CTR).

Jedi is the HT1000, MT/MTS2000 and VISAR line, Gemini is for the HT600/MT1000 and I guess you can include the P200. The analog Sabers are Saber, and the digital Saber is the Astro line.

Yes the LED worked until I programmed the unit. I used the Windows version R01.01.00, then the unit started getting "flaky". I got a message about having an invalid mem/data feature when I added scan, then the busy/tx LED stopped working. I pumped the original archive using DOS R09.01.00 and got the ...

Ohh great, is there anyway I can recover the codeplug and get it to operate correctly. This guy I purchased the radio from seems to not want to take my phone calls now. Gotta love Ebay! Phil

I just finished programming an Astro Saber III (ALL 255 channels) and noticed that the LED stopped working on TX. Upon power up the LED will flash however it does not seem to work after that. I checked the codeplug and made sure surveillance mode was off and that the LED field was enabled in the ...
