Thanks for the input :-) I thought it might have something to do with the switch. What is that exactly connected to? Been looking at how the astro saber gets its option select to route mic, sp, and antenna to external. On the classic saber its with different voltages On the opsel pin, but not sure w...

MT

Hi :-) Have anyone ever got an astro saber working with an older SVA? (the old style saber Vehicle adapter) Had some spare time on my hands and this old SVA that otherwise would go in the thrash, so I thought, why not just modify the damn thing, but been scratching my head ever since :D Any ideas? S...

MT

Great

Anyone know the type? (number etc.)

Best regards

Hi.

Got a couple of Des-xl loaders. 1 of them looses key easily when
on low batt. the other one holds keys fine on low batt.

Is there a backup battery? (if there is one, where is it, and wich
type is it?)

Thanks

MT

Hi.

hm, maybe. Theese problems occur with my 4 ss and also with
my friends ss, that originate from another place.

The "funny" thing about the sts and msg problem is that, between
the ss, it works perfectly. its only the console that shows msg1 all
the time (but not with other radios

MT

anyone?

A little update regarding the scan problem, The scan stops on every channel in the scanlist
and goes into unsquelched state for about 1 second, then scans to the next channel on
the list and again unsquelches and this goes on.. so the scan function is pretty much useless

MT

Hi. I have a couple of questions that I hope some of you can help me with. I have some sys saber III, that (when scanning) stops every second on the actual channel, and gives me white noise (unsquelched) second problem. when sending STS and MSG to a console, it shows only MSG position 1 on the conso...

Hi.

Ok, so I will need High or wide split modules
if I want to use 170 Mhz..

Well, Im hoping that some one can trade
or sell me 2 sets.. I have made a WTB or
trade posting in the other section, but no
replies so far..

Thanks

MT

Hi Dave.

Thanks

So as I can see it, its possible to get a saber I and
swap modules for the right split?

Does anyone know if a 146-162 split can do +10 Mhz??

MT

Hi.

I just got 2 very nice systems saber III vhf
with modelnumber H43TUK5170CN.

the radios has low split (21A PA module inside)

can these be converted to high split or is that
to complicated?

thanks

MT

Hi again..

Ok, I dont think I want to go down that path

I hope the radios does the MDC things that I need.

Regards
mt

MT

Hi guys

Hmm, I will take the chance and see how much
it does, when I get it.

Can the radio be upgraded to digital, later?
(Q241 Astro ready, does this mean its possible?)

Is it posible to do some sort of cloning with another
astro maybe, and get more features?

Regards
mt

MT

Hi :) I need basic ptt id encode (decode, only nice to have :) ) and I would like to have status as well. Can this be done? I wont expect to get "everything" out of this radio. But Im a total astro beginner, so I have no idea what these can do/wont do :) Can options be added somehow? Hope ...

MT

Hi.

Thanks for the answar

Can something be done easily to get some more
options like MDC1200?

The seller claims that the codeplug allows MDC.
Can he be trusted on that?

I have the codeplug from the actual radio, can it be
determined if it has MDC, if someone could look at
the CP?

MT

Hi.

Just got offered a Astro Saber II Vhf with the
following flash: 000001-002000-5

A couple of questions (if someone can help?)

How much can this radio do?
Can this radio do MDC1200?
Des-xl?

Anything else I should know?

Best regards
mt

P.S Im a astro beginner

MT

Hi everyone..

Problem solved.. It turned out to as simple as
the HUB function was set to Enable (and Mic
is not grounded)..

But, thanks for your replies

MT

Hi Kc7gr.

Caps have been done, so I dont think thats the problem.

Is there any other functions that can cause this problem??

MT

Hi. My friend and I both have a Spectra A7 Vhf with mlm 5.23 And my friend have a problem with PL Decode. it is set to std/std (mute/unmute) and everything looks ok, but it doesn´t work. No problem with my spectra. His model is a X (secure model) and mine is a non-secure.. I suspect his is a origina...

MT

Hi everyone.

I was wondering if anyone has tried using a transcrypt
inversion module on a spectra??

Or does anyone know if this is possible??

Martin

MT

Hi everyone.

Sorry to disturb your thread.

I have measured my pin 11 and it shows 4.73 Volt DC (thats my RX Audio
line going to a small modem). Will this DC voltage damage the spectra???

MT

Hi. I have a european version of the HT1250 (GP380). When the radio opens (RX) there is a small pop noise from the speaker, like there is a DC across it the speaker. Also when the "low battery alert" sounds, the radio gives a small pop each time. could it be a speaker problem (maybe water ...

MT

Hi Batdude.

Did you get my mail, with the attached pic???

MT

Hi Batdude.

Yes I have a pic. but I cant post (??)
Can I email it to you??

MT

Hi. Does anyone know what the circuit board in the HLN1319A does?? I can see there is a 10W speaker amp. or something on the board. I have a problem when transmitting with my spectra connected to this base tray, there is a lot of noise on top of my signal, this noise is not there when I disconnect t...

MT

Thanks guys

Is there a way of finding out if mlm ver. 5.23
will do Single tone, STS and MSG??

And does someone have a "step by step" instruction
to enable options??

MT

Hi "stvnd53".

You mean, if the changes wasn´t permanent???

Is there a safe way to enable options without
the chance of making a paperweight???

Thakns again

MT

Hi again. Thanks for your answar "n1pfc" :) Does anyone know if mlm ver. 5.23 will do these 3 things?? When the radio is read, it shows the A5 model number but the head is changed to an A7 (all buttons work etc. so, no problem there). And when trying to access the STS, MSG and singletone o...

MT

Hi. I hope someone can help me with some questions :) Will all VHF A7 models do STS and MSG (MDC-1200) and Singletone??? or is these things dependent on the MLM version??? The thing is that I recently bought a A5 model (converted to A7) by someone on this board, and I cant seem to get this spectra t...

MT

Hi Bob.

Thanks. I will make a couple of backups

MT

Hi. Sorry for this (maybe) stupid question :o I just got my first Spectra the other day and now I was thinking, do I need to make a S-Record of it in case something goes wrong or is it enough to keep an original Codeplug?? Its an ordinary D43, VHF, A7 spectra (Analog) Hope someone can help??? Thanks...

MT

Hi Will.

Thanks

So 0.5 uV or less.

with no modulation??
and on the exact RX service frequency??

MT

Hi. Is it possible to check the adjustment of the front end filter without the service box??

MT

Hi.

I was just curious

I was told that the latest version was 6.60

Thanks

MT

Hi.

Does somebody know what version is the highest/most new, for the MTS2000 (vhf)???

MT

Hi Williamh.

The problem is that We live in Denmark and shipping these to the US and back + the cost for repair, will cost pretty much the same as another Spectra. And here in Denmark, we dont have motorola shops like in the US

Martin

MT

Hi. I have tried to do a search vefor I wrote my first post, but I cant seem to find a direct fix for the problem. But I can try and search again. According to my friend, the problem is not because of the frequency being on the edge of the band. most frequencies is in the middle of the band/split. C...

MT

Hi.

My friend has a Spectra (low power) VHF A7 with a "Fail 001" (only sometimes)
Now, he also has a Spectra (low power) VHF A5, and my question is,
Is it possible to swap a module to get rid of the fail 001???

Martin

MT

Hi Nand.

Ok, thanks

I will have a look in the manual again.

Martin

MT

Hi Nand. ok, thanks for your help (and time) :D I noticed when reading some other posts, that others have had this problem with the RX having some "static" or "white noise" sounds. The MTS can pickup signals from a fair distance, but the signals drown in static when they are not ...

MT

Hi again Nand. Just checked the TX VCO freq. and its currently 161,5050, so I will leave it at that :-) One last question, the RX VCO, is that a fixed freq. like the TX VCO?? or does it need to be adjusted?? (and would this help on my sensitivity prob.??) On my friends MTS, the RX VCO is the same as...

MT

Hi again Nand. I found the sticker you are talking about.. It wasn´t on the board (it had fallen of and was just below the board, the sticker was old and dry :) ).. The sticker says: V12140231 NUD7070B 05/01 And the date code on the PA block is: 9414 the datecode on the silver x-tal is: 9413 The RX ...

MT

Hi again Nand. I dont have my MTS right now, so I cant check the component date codes before tomorrow. But there is 3 terminals (battery) on the board (with black rubber). Wouldn´t this indicate an older board??? If you want (and have time) I can send you a Word document with my tuning values, and m...

MT

Hi again Nand. I think we misunderstood each other :o (properbly due to my poor English :-) I cant see anything on my board where it says 5511Y (I can only see: 4220J03) Now, will I have to set my value to 161,5050 because its not in the 5511Y series?? I know that the TX VCO setting wont affect my s...

MT

Hi again Nand. Yes, its the 5511Y i was talking about. In my manual it says if the number is 5511 series then its to be set, to 164,850 and if the board has a different number then 5511 then it has to be set to 161,5050. You see, My MTS2000 is not performing as good as my MT2100 wich is pretty much ...

MT

Hi Nand.

99% sure.. Im using it on the VHF band, that wouldn´t be possible if it was a UHF board right??

Martin

MT

Hi.

Thanks for your replies.

I still need some info regarding the TX VCO Crossover
settings. Tha service manual mentions a boardnumber
when setting this freq.
It should be either 161,5050 or 164,850

Do any of you guys know what my value should be??

Martin

MT

Hi. Does anyone know how I can identify my RF-board in my MTS2K?? (maybe how old the board is?) There is written something on the side of the board: 4220J03 rev. C Also, I have read in a serivice manual, something about the TX VCO Crossover alignment, should be set to 164,850. Is this also the case ...

MT

Hi Guys.

Thanks for your replies.

Maybe someone outthere will send me a codeplug
matching my modelnumber.

Once again thanks

Martin

MT

Hi. Is there a friendly soul out there that can help me with the tuning values on a MTS2000 VHF model H01KDH9PW1BN?? I think my values are way out, so if there is someone that has a list of his/her values that I can borrow, I would really be happy. I would like to compare the values against mine. Be...

MT

Hi. I have a MTS2000 vhf, full keypad and display model, non secure. I cant read the radio (former owner told that he put a wrong codeplug into the radio), now Im wondering if I can "force" a correct codeplug into the radio?? Do I need a new codeplug or something more?? Hope someone can help
