Does this mean I'll be able to leave the feedback I was not allowed to do in December 2008?

You do realize that they only do 12.5khz channel spacing right? There is no 20/25khz option for them, as in no 224.360/224.960, etc.

You can post that info up front so those who need 20/25khz can forget it, while those who can use 12.5khz channel spacing can use the information you may have.

For a simplex frequency, you would program the frequency in both the transmit and receive locations. If you left the RX blank with a TX, your radio could talk to others but would not hear anything. I'm trying to program my HT600 with a 2 meter simplex channel. I know that I need to program the trans...

Before someone else says it, are you authorized to be on the system? +1 I know quite a few Horry County cops and know that the sys-admin is pretty on the ball so it would not take long for a rouge radio to get the big fail :lol: Back to the facts, you'd need a radio with the right features (flashco...

I deleted them. I don't like keeping pictures up for too long. Uses up valuable Photobucket space. Photobucket is pretty liberal on how much you can store. It's somewhat silly to only have them up for one day as there are many people who do not live on this forum and would possibly liked to see them.

One issue would be actually finding enough frequency pairs that are not taken. In NC that's almost impossible because of the large amount of "paper" repeaters.

I am an occasional user of MDC on our club repeater system. Recently the President of the club voiced his very strong concern that MDC should not be used in Amateur Service, especially on the club funded repeaters. The club presidents incorrect CFR quotes and thoughts of what MDC is really used for...

Do they actually use pure P25 when all users on an "event" have P25 gear or is it just used as needed with usual use on analog?

My shop has several hundred HT1K radios in the 2 channel flavor for rentals, and the controllers are the same as the 16 channel versions, so I popped a non-stop knob and added 14 channels without a hitch. Would anyone happen to have a comparison picture of the 2ch VS 16ch knob so I would know what ...

+1 for Multiplier. M4593 is the part # for their short battery, and Tessco stocks them. I bought a couple to use with Astro Sabers in an AVA, and even after a year of the worst charging cycles imaginable I can still get a full day's use out of them (note: I don't talk much, but the receive stays pr...

I have never heard of the HEAR channel. Here in CA we do not have any required 800 channels. The state is on VHF 155.340mhz is usually referred as the H.E.A.R. channel, sure someone here knows where that came from. Your other, possibly cheaper option would be a pair of XTL1500s... one in the front,...

Stubby Antenna, VHF Band, 150-162 MHz RAD4194A (3.55"/White bottom)

Kenwood is making money off of where I work thanks to the expensive 900mhz offerings. The radio dude is pulling maxtracs back to the areas where they have trunked systems and ordering Kenwoods (for 20% of what the XTL would cost) to use in the conventional areas

Is there a particular reason they need to be e-mailed? I'm pretty sure having a time-stamped recording is possible with some of the hobby software out there and then you could just have it recorded to a computer near the RX radio. With all of this, you get what you pay for (or don't pay enough for) ...

Are the headlights coming on too? The sensor for my 2002 is on the dash at the base of the windshield. If I cover it up, the truck thinks it is night and turns on the headlights/taillights and dims the other lights.

Tomorrow I can check one of the 2007s at work to see where the sensor is.

Have you ever heard of a PD using re-loaded ammunition for field use ? I think not.

Well, yes..... They had a local load custom ammo for them and they finally switched to factory ammo (230gr speer gold dot) in 2000.

What, still no answer? :o It shouldn't be this difficult to find out what software to use on a Jedi MTX radio that's not an MTS-anything or an MTX8000 or 9000. Elroy Providing it is a stock/legit radio and it is 800mhz and says "MTX" on the front, then it is a MTX8000 and you use the MTSX...

If you can get new multiplier saber batteries cheaply, then those are good. Otherwise it's hard to beat the Impres battery prices from Escomm here on the forum. I would not use any other brand....

Depending on the year, there is a large rubber boot under the brake master cylinder that has been used. I think some guy on here said it was even big enough to run strobe cables through.

Escomm by far on new batteries, you might get lucky and get a good deal on a charger on ebay.

what would i gain by going from nicad and rapid desk charger to impress and are impress stuff compatable with the saber vehicle adapter? The Impres saber battery is a nicad as well, it's just a smart battery that when paired with an Impres charger 100% will get you a full 24 month warranty on capac...

They just bought some for work instead of the multipliers. I heard that the radio guy was told that they are built by muliplier, so I guess the lies are always different depending on what salesman is telling them :lol: If it's for any sort of critical use use, just get OEM. I actually had a multipli...

This is a 16pin D37 maxtrac setup for trunked systems and conventional use (repeaters and simplex, none are amateur band). Without digging into RSS and/or RSS manuals, does it have any available signaling such as MDC1200 on conventional frequencies?

It's related to the HT750 (and family), so I would guess maybe that cable. Didn't find out with a quick google search.

You already said it

escomm wrote:There's too much money on the table

In this instance, the money is going to the manufacturers who KNOW they can get what they are asking for P25 equipment.

I use it as a "marker" for certain channels in my HT1000. I have the first six channels for regular TX/RX use, then the next one can be set to TX on MURS with the fake talk permit tone which lets me know it is the first of the next set of RX channels. I also have it set for my local simple...

While I am far from an expert, this are my views on NimH VS Nicad. I'm sure a simple search on here or google will give lots of more technical answers. #1 NimH will have faster self-discharge than a Nicad #2 NimH have a shorter lifespan in number of charge cycles #3 NimH have more capacity VS Nicad ...

Hello. My GF has a UHF Jedi in her car we use for brief simplex comms. Maybe gets used 10 minutes a week.Both batteries are new & 2100 ma. Battery doesn't get charged until the crickets chirp. I think the Nicads should last longer but want other opinions. Thanks. GARY N4KVE I think you could fi...

I had a battery that stopped charging in the impres charger( flashing error), but worked just fine in the old saber rapid charger. I only charge it in my presence to be sure it don't go up in smoke, but over a year later and it's still chugging right along.

Not a jedi, but brand new HT750s are available in 35–50MHz

A couple of good GTX pages (besides here and the main batlabs page)

If it is a smartnet radio, it should. I believe they made some LTR GTXs as well.

It seems that you can't, for info there are mics for the saber, and system saber as well as the astro saber mobile adapters.

I think despite the Dodge Charger being a civilian vehicle it is the best designed police car in terms of handling, speed, control and stopping! As long as cops don't have to see anything behind them, sure. The 91-96 B-body was a great car, lots of room compared to the later fords. GM had an offer ...

Standard Horizon 370 comes with all marine and is also programmable from 137-174, one of a few part 80/90 HTs around. In addition to the preprogrammed marine and weather freqs, it can also hold an additional 40ch. $110-130 each brand new and very rugged. If you need to save a few bucks, the 270 omit...

I’m not being critical of the state’s 800MHz system, it just seems like converting to 800MHz is overboard for our needs. What would you do? Well I live in NC and see how the VIPER progress is going, so your first question to answer is..... What are your neighbors doing? Most of NC is grouped by cou...

Pure DOS always, I have a 366mhz PII that programs HT1000s just fine (same RSS as conventional visar). I would assume the newer the version of RSS you have helps as well. Get the RSS running, read it and see, can't hurt to try it.

Not to beat the answer to death but Grog is 100 percent correct. Itinerant channels require a license -- period. Whoever told you otherwise was wrong. AFAIK the ONLY non-licensed UHF channels are FRS. I should have provided further, but some of the rules about Itinerant channels seem to get confuse...

That is incorrect.....

silly question how does a radio not have any tags? Frankensteined? someone just ripped them off?????

Could be as simple as a new case......

...and it could come back as a HT1000

Lets say it's all he has access to. Will the smart RIB work?

It's likely a dumb question but I really know very little about the smart RIB

/\/\ "quality" once again

I guess /\/\ does not even bother to test their software when they do an update, right? How many issues are there with a new software version? I'd think if I spend a few grand on a radio, I'd not have to be a beta tester when I program it.

Forgot to mention that one button scan of the systems saber is nice compaired to the three to four step button presses of the saber to scan.

Unless something has changed, he ain't at his location listed here. In fact it's entirely possible it's a .Mil TRS he's talking about

Oh, here's a page with some info that is not listed on batlabs.

I am looking for 120 channels conventional, scan, and able to break it down to zones. Some Saber IIs can also do 120Ch if with scan and zones, but only if it's an 8K.
