astro spectra plus bootloop, loop, and loop, and loop

I remember putting it into service mode to see what algos the UCM had in it while I was in search of a KVL cable that would work. Now it just cycles with the busy and xmit light pulsing 4-5 times very quickly, sh...

Re: APX O2 O7 same CHIB?

I'm not sure, but I think so. you can have an 07 and an 02 connected to the same transceiver at the same time. only two heads that can do that in the whole fleet right now, so stands to reason they would be the same.

I've heard just by word of mouth that it's not plossible, and that HHCHs are only supported om the 5000s and APX series. Bassicly I want to put them all into ...

what would happen if say, 6 speaker phone ouputs were all wired to one speaker? again this speaker would be for output of speaker phones only, with the possiblilty of 2 or 3 lines "outputting" at the same time.
