Looking for something that will allow control of a ham repeater built out of a XPR8300 over the internet. Don't need anything fancy... just on/off & MCW ID. I reckon some options for courtesy tone would be helpful too. I don't have a need to link the repeater over the internet. I'm not very good...

Looking for help interfacing XPR8300 to an Arcom RC210 controller... anyone have a source for a pre-made cable?

Thanks!!

Trying to cut thru the fog... Which of these would be best to set up a simple trunked system involving 5 repeater sites with 3 repeaters per site. Not looking for an advanced feature set here, just want to create several talkgroups that would could utilize the full system footprint and allow multipl...

Okay no problem making the system talk in analog. But in digital mode, I have run into some sort of problem. When I key up a subscriber radio, I get a bonk. Display on the subscribers shows an unlock icon. Color code matches between repeater & subscribers. Privacy was set to Basic on the repeate...

thanks guys!!

If Motorola was giving away CPS with it's repeater, I'm sure it'd be like one of those moments where you never forget where you were. Lol.

Is the CPS RVN5115?

Thanks!!

I've looked high & low for the answers, please excuse if I've overlooked something simple. For the MOTOTRBO MTR3000... I've been hearing that the purchase price *includes* the CPS... is this true? The vender would just distribute it when you buy the repeater? :o Is it RVN5115 like it is for the ...

Just looking for something basic that allows DTMF turn on/off and gives MCW ID. Needs to be rack-mountable and interface-able to an XPR8300. And cheap.

Any suggestions?

Thx

This stumps me: I have a user who is low & muffled almost all the time. Did a check with him, same as before, low & muffled. Then he checked in again a few seconds later and had good, clear audio. For the rest of the day he's been low & muffled. CDM1250 VHF, Vertex UHF VRS, CP200 UHF. Au...

Yeah, I learned the value of scan-ability in writing late in life... it sure has saved me alot of heartache. The way you put it is different than the way I put it: In my version, the VRS's all transmit the same tone (let's call it T1) and listen for the same tone (let's call it T2). T1 and T2 are di...

Alright this is what I've learned so far in easy-to-digest chunks: Keep the VRS off while the officer is in the car. Automatic switches could be a good thing. The simplex uplink frequency (SUF) should be on a different band that the main repeater. All VRS's and portables should be on the same SUF. T...

Someone correct me if I sound like an idiot. The only way I think we could get away with everyone being able to leave their VRS's on all the time is to have give each HT it's own uplink frequency. And then we'd have to leave the HT's with the cars all the time. But then if an HT fails, the car will ...

Sorry for the weird questions, I'm not that experienced with VRS setup. But I do find it very interesting. The VXR-1000 software allows programming the VRS for transmit with tone (or DPL) in addition to CSQ, depending on the master/slave mode that is selected. Could it be that the VRS can transmit a...

My skull is unusually thick today... so I'm hoping someone can help me. VRS's by Motorola, Pyramid, Vertex, etc., contain logic that has them shaking hands when they're on-scene with other VRS's so they don't interfere and lock up. So why is there a problem if the officers leave them on and pass eac...

So now that I've gotten over alot of my ignorance with the CenCom and its feature set, I've another question... If I'd like to be able to power on a port replicator for a trunk-mounted laptop, I need momentary contact closure but no applied 12VDC current (or any other current, for that matter). Can ...

Thanks for the response, tvsjr. I am glad that someone here with experience in what I asked for could advise me past a flaw in the installation manual. :) My experience with using sirens is rich; my experience installing them is not. The CenCom was the first siren I ever installed, and I'll say this...

Can anyone advise if the Fleet Radio Products combiner (http://www.fleetradioproducts.com/4AMP-03B.htm) will work with a Uniden BC780xlt and two MCS2000's for inputs, and an amplified Motorola speaker and a Whelen SA314 (radio rebroadcast through a Cencom) for outputs? Thanks... I decided to take t...

Cool... Toys good!

Anyone know what buttons control outlets 1-3? The instructions that I have do not advise. I assume that buttons 1-3 do, since buttons 4-8 control outlets 4-8... am I missing something here?

Thanks in advance,

Okay, so I just got off the phone with /\/\, which is always a good experience (I love their customer service). The correct numbers for the high-power MCS2000 parts are: High-power DC cable: HKN6110 Remote-cable gasket: 3205789W01 Accessory connector: HLN6412 Control-head trunnion wing screws: 03057...

Hi, all... Can someone advise the part number for the wing screws that attach a high-powered MCS2000 RF deck to its mounting tray? Also, which of these part numbers is correct for the trunnion for a Mod 2 control head: HLN6615_; 0780127N02? Finally, can someone verify these part numbers as correct? ...

Apco25: Nice-looking install... because I'm working on a 98 Taurus install, I've a quick question or four :-D: 1. How's the main power cable connected and fused under the hood? 2. Where in the firewall did you come through with the main power cable? 3. Where is your ground point in the trunk? 4. Any...

Well, the first question I'd ask is, does your vehicle use the chassis/frame as the ground reference? Yup. Planning a heavy-duty ground from the block to a trunk-hinge support. ... and conservatively estimate that it'll take about 20 feet of cable to do it. That seems fair... it's all going into a ...

Hi, all... Does this sound righteous, reasonable, and Batlabs-worthy? To power: 25A --- 2 high-power MCS2000's (VHF & UHF), one keyed 20A --- Cencom controlling two 8-module TIR3 Dominators & an SP314 20A --- 1 Mini-ITX form-factor PC with 10" monitor 15A --- Various accessories (cell a...
