Does anybody want to share their experience with the XPR portables? How do they compare in TX, RX and audio compared to Motorola Analog portables? Does the XPR in analog mode perform the same to other Motorola analog radios in terms of TX, RX and audio? This is a first generation radio and just want...

Thanks,

Ken

kennethlbryant

Does anybody have this number?

Do these really perform better?

I am told the black rubber duck antenna is 8.5" tall instead of the normal 6" or so?

Thanks,

Ken

kennethlbryant

Yes, I was referring to the EX600XLS.

Thanks for the info.

Any idea how the performance is in comparision to the larger version, the HT1550XLS?

kennethlbryant

Is there any timeframe set?

How is the tx and rx performance between the EX600 and the HT1550, does anyone know?

I am wanting to know if I should go EX or switch to Motobro.

Any input is appreciated.

kennethlbryant

I keep hearing that, I need to check that out, hard to believe prices are going down and not up! Thanks for your valuable input. I still love the look, feel, and fully loaded features of the HT1550 including keyboard programmability, I just wish they would continue to offer that type of capability i...

kennethlbryant

Thank you that was helpful but as for the channels, I thought they both had a max of 16 channels?

kennethlbryant

Again, I would CONTINUE to ask the same question: "Is the PR860 really better than the HT750 series?"

This is in terms of performance (tech specs) and quality of construction (durability).

Can someone directly answer this question?

Thanks,

Ken

I was referring to the batteries, I did think Impress was just the new electronic feedback lithium ion technology. I did not realize it included audio, whenever Motorola does "audio" improvements in my experience it makes things worse, for example, the expansion and other features in the p...

First poster, thanks for the link for the previous discussion, I did review it. Second poster, I did not realize the PR860 was cheaper than the HT750. When I have looked at parts I thought the same accessories for the PR (that also fit the HT Series) were slightly more expensive, even though in many...

kennethlbryant

Can anyone answer this and give me the specific reasons, I am considering if upgrading is worthwhile. I know I can get Impress batteries and the chargers for the HT series.

Is the HT series being discontinued and if so, when?

Thanks,

Ken

kennethlbryant

What else makes the PR860 better than the HT750 series?

kennethlbryant

That may be, but I didn't think the firmware came under the subscription since it is supported with the purchase of the flash adapter. Thanks, I will contact Motorola.

kennethlbryant

Although I don't see the same licensing requirements or restrictions for the firmware as I see for the software, I guess it would be a no no to ask for a current copy?

Thanks,

Ken

I am not that clueless but I understand your wanting to be thorough.

Thanks for your kind assistance.

I was using a USB to serial port and apparently the software wants a direct serial connection!!!

kennethlbryant

I get all sorts of errors.

I am using the HLN9742B flash adapter with the ribless cable.

I am following the instructions.

kennethlbryant

Any major fixes in the new version?

kennethlbryant

I am no trouble reading and writing other radios. This radio is version 5 firmware. I am using 6.06 CPS software. I am using a OEM ribless cable. I keep getting the error message with this one radio: "Couldn't open port. Check whether device/RIB are powered on or not, and the device to RIB, and...

kennethlbryant

Last version I have is 05.10.05.

Is there any big deal concerning the later updates, if any, but I assume there were?

What were the add on features? Anything for the everyday user?

Please email me at ken@amlcft.com

kennethlbryant

Ok, I will look it up alot of times it does not appear to be a software program but I guess it is.

For the average user, will upgrading from a version 2 or 3 to the current 5 something really make a difference if you are not using LTR for example (just conventional)?

Thanks,

Ken

kennethlbryant

Yes, thanks for that, I am aware of the history and issues of dealing in software. I may have access to the flash utility software but I am not sure. Does the software come with the flash adapter do you know?

kennethlbryant

If I can not get access to the firmware flash utility, what is the point of getting or building all the other equipment?

I am a NSO dealer.

kennethlbryant

Can anyone tell me the exact procedure and what equipment I need including model numbers to upgrade the firmware in Waris HT Pro Series portable radios?

kennethlbryant

Can anyone make me an extension cable for the speaker mic or better yet a desk mic adapter so I can use a desk mic with the portable as a temporary base. I get interference from the computer when it is on my desk.

Thanks,

Ken

OEM Cable does not do as many radios (usually only one type at a time) and in some cases is $185 for just a mobile cable.

See if the guy will replace it.

kennethlbryant

Can anybody tell me what I need and what I need to do?

I need a step by step detailed list of instructions including how to change the channel selector, I am not real saavy on this stuff but am willing to learn.

Thanks,

Ken

kennethlbryant

Yes, they do work, quality is not hot but components are there.

I have one for sale if you are interested, new and cheaper than listed on eBay. It will do the HT series and GM mobiles and others.

kennethlbryant

I just might try it, contact me in a month and I will let you know.

Debating about the expense over benefit, that is why I am looking for someone that has used it before.

Anybody out there?

kennethlbryant

Do you know if it is cheaper to pay for an upgrade later or to purchase they radio full blown?

kennethlbryant

Just did some research, the literature says an operating range of 30ft depending on conditions. Does anybody have any experience with this?

kennethlbryant

Can I do this myself?

kennethlbryant

and by what means?

kennethlbryant

What kind of distance did you see demo'd?

kennethlbryant

Does anybody have any experience with the Bluetooth Speaker Mic for the Professional Series Radios (HT750/CDM750)?

How well does it work?

What kind of range do you get in feet from a mobile and from a portable?

Any practical advice you can give?

Is it worth the money?

Thanks,

Ken

kennethlbryant

Can the 1250 be keyboard programmed with the programming battery like the 1550 or the Pro9150?

kennethlbryant

What is effective?

kennethlbryant

Can anybody address the following PLEASE!!! Has anybody studied the difference in performance between the old style helical (uniform thickness) antennas and the new style base loaded (tapered towards the top) antennas which is now the new style by Motorola? I am interested in a factual comparision b...

kennethlbryant

Which Division or part number is usually the cheapest?

kennethlbryant

I am using the Pro Series HT 750/HT 1550. I just bought the enhanced 7.5" NAD6579 148-162 and was wondering if there was better out there in Motorola land. This antenna is for the Pro HT series. I need pictures because everybody describes antennas differently (misuse of terms). The NAD is the n...

kennethlbryant

These antennas you mention 85-05644v02 150.8-162 or the
85-05518v01 136-178 wideband, are they the new tapered style or are they helical? Do you have pictures of what they look like?

kennethlbryant

Motorola says the NAD 6579 is best it is rated 148-162. Motorola specifically says it is "Enhanced Performance." They are hard to get, I have them new (got for myself - I need the best performance) but I have not tested them yet.

They are for the MX connector, is that what the XTS has?

kennethlbryant

When you say the good ol' GP300/P200 antennas?

Did you test the 7.5" NAD6579 tapered high performance antenna?

kennethlbryant

Has anybody studied the difference in performance between the old style helical (uniform thickness) antennas and the new style base loaded (tapered towards the top) antennas which is now the new style by Motorola? I am interested in a factual comparision based on a technical analysis rather than ane...
