My memory came back to me. The radio did not do PL/DPL scan, only CTCSS scan. That is what I had to change. I have a bad feeling that your switch is bad.

I haven't been on a MT1000 for a while, but the first one that I had, it had the same problem. I think I had to program the top switch to enable PL/DPL receive.

Many years ago, I had the same problem (I think) with a Uniden repeater. Motorola radios had no problems using it, but, we also had Midland radios, and if any of the Midland radios transmitted into the repeater, a clicking noise was heard. There were no other stations in the near area that used that...

I've been on several Caribbean Cruise's, Panama Canal Cruise, and Alaska Cruise. My group has always taken along our handhelds, programmed for the GMRS half channels, which we are licensed for here in the US. I usually set up about 4 to 6 channels (using DPL) in case we get some interference or some...

I usually use finger nail polish remover applied with a cotton ball. Usually 1 or 2 passes and the paint is gone.

I've taken my GMRS portables with me on past cruises with no problems from the ships crew. I set my groups up with multiple channels (different frequencies with different DPL combinations for possible interferance) and had no problems on board the ship. In fact, the cruise line "rents" bub...

Another possiblity is the battery saver function. I had a group of radios that had the battery saver option enabled, and they always lost the first part of the transmissions also. After I disabled this feature, the problem disappeared.

Hmmmm..... Oh well........

Well, I remember I had an old slow Radio Shack laptop that had the 9 pin connection, and it wouldn't work for Motorola programming. I had to find a differenct CPU. Maybe it is the computer, or does it work for other programming applications?

Just checking, but you are only using the cable from the CPU to the R100, right? No RIB interface box.

Thanks Al!

Anybody have the "M" part number for the fan in a 1225 repeater enclosure. I have one that is kaput, and I cannot find a visible part number on it. Any help is really appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Your trick did it Jeff. I took the MDC signalling off the the receive (transmit was set to none), and it indicates simplex on the display now. Thank-you!

A friends EX600XLS radio automatically shows the "arrow" on simplex channels. Mine does not. I have gone through the software and cannot figure out how to do this. Does anybody have any suggestions? I am using CPS 6.04. Thanks in advance!

I've been going to this "fest" for 15 plus years. It has gone down the past few years, but I always happen to find something of interest.

I have a GP300 that no matter what battery or power supply I use, the low battery tone/light activates. I can disable the tone/light, but I noticed there is a "Low Battery Threshold" item on the F2 screen, but I cannot figure out if there is a way to change/modify this number (169). Anbody...

Great! I will try the Maxtrac Software!

This unit appears to be to mobile radio units, not GP300. Thanks.

I recently picked up a Desktrac UHF repeater at a hamfest. The unit is putting out 20 watts before the duplexor. I would like to turn it down to about 5 watts. Any information on how to do this is greatly appreciated.

I too was turned down for the new high end software from "M". I have a license for several of the "older" softwares, told them I need the new "CDM" for a new radio, but was turned down. Oh yea, I also have an account with "M". I was thinking of sending in anot...

I have a MT-1000 Version "A" radio. I have the scan set for "Priority PL". When in the scan mode, and the radio opens on a non-priorty channel, if that channel is still active, and you key up, you do not key up on your channel that you have as your priority. It keys up on the cha...

I know I saw it somewhere, but now I can't find it. I have a R1225 repeater and want to install the 12 volt battery revert unit to the repeater. I cannot find the Motorola Part number for the revert unit. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

That was the problem. Radio works fine now. Thanks!

Last year my P1225 went dead. No squelch, no transmit, however, if you listened to the speaker when you turned the radio on, you could tell the radio was getting power. Sent the radio in under warranty repair and it came back a few days later fixed. It now happend again, and I really am perplexed. D...
