Whats the normal spec for the preselcetor IL on an R2 UHF Quantar?

I have it down to 2.5dB. Should I try for more or is that as good as it gets?

Hello group.

I've got a conventional Quantar here with an EPIC I SCM (R020.09.062) that allows mixed-mode ops and narraow bandwidth.

I just ordered a replacement FRU SCM from M ......(CLN-1293A) which is an EPIC II board, with R020.14.002 (as per the SIMM module sticker). It too is for 6809/CNV ...

How does one create a Conventional System Key for accessing conventional tactical OTAR, STUN/REVIVE? I have all the features, just need a CSK.

Quick question.......

Can a KVL3000 (or 4000) in ASTRO25 mode program an ASTRO Spectra with a DES-XL/DES-OFB hybrid?

Basically.... Do I need to be in ASN mode to program an ASTRO Spectra or can I do it in ASTRO25 mode?

Can anybody just provide a basic description on the diff between ASN and ...

Thanks xmo!

With the mass amount of surplus hitting the street now...they are finally becoming affordable!

Is there a min version of SCM or Exciter f/w that I need for a simple CAI capable conventional repeater?

Quantars,,,,

Say I have an 25W R1 VHF unit....can I place an R1 exciter and 125W R1 PA in it and automatically have a high-powered VHF Quantar?

How bout if I have 100W UHF unit, and replace the PA, receiver and exciter with all VHF equivalents....does it then become a 100W VHF unit?

Does the SAM ...

Its another Motorola Canada SP product I suspect.

Its a VR based on MaxTrac mobiles I believe. Can anybody else elaborate?

hoser

I can run it on an HP Omnibook 800 (Pentium I 133MHz) with Win98SE installed. Just gotta disable the CPU cache memory in the BIOS!

Was/is the interface board betwen the C5 head and the command board (HLN6285A) different from the one used with a C7 head?

My manuals say no? If yes....any part #?

hoser

So I bit-banged the radio just fine.

Its now a C7 but why do I still have the 192 mode limit?
I cannot seem to access/modify the MAX SYSTEMS/MAX SUBFLEETS section to modify it to 250 mode.

ZONES are disabled too.

hoser

So just changing the CTRL HEAD from STD to Enhanced will do it?
I'll have access to all the DTMF functions on the pad?

hoser

Correct me if I'm missing anything.........

Step involved are:

1. Replace head
2. Bit-bang new Model # and Control Head

Am I missing anyhthing else?

PS Is there any way I can get a C5 Spectra to do 250 modes? More than the 8 sys / 8 sub-fleets / 128 conv channels? Mine is 192 mode max.

Is there any way to find out the band split of one of these Spectra-based units without the RSS? I have a unit here and can't tell which split it is.

Did these units have the same splits as the analog Spectra?

hoser

So......I'm having the same problem as described in this older post.

I have an 800MHz Spectra (D35...C5) with MLM v6.15 which I thought was the last one released.

I enabled the

INDIV_ID_DISPLAY and
TALKGRP_CHAN_DISP

in the trunking personalities, yet I get no sort of display when receiving ...

hoser

Used as an RF MODEM, this 900MHz Spectra (with no buttons other than volume and mode rockers) has a MAX MODES of 4

Can I upgrade this unit for more modes, convert it to a C2 or C7 perhaps?

MLM is v5.10
EE = 114

Can I swap the MLM or try BIT BANGIN?

hoser

or look at the fairly new Motorola PR860.
It comes in a 29.7-42MHz and 35-50MHz split

hoser

Your computer B is too fast! Can you disable the CPU cache in the BIOS?
Try that. That trick works on other older RSS like MCX1000, Maxtrac and others.

Anyone know what the earliest version of firmware in an MTS2000 supported SmartZone?

Are the analog (CLB) control trays universal to all band models?

Those option codes are also presented in the 4 'Radio Wide' screens within the MCX1000s RSS. It too may also help you to decipher the radio options.

Digital was loosely used term for that radio I suppose. The fact that it could do encryption (if so equipped) may have something to do with it?

I pulled this hybrid out of a T3011CX (DES/DES-XL) KVL.

I know the TRN-7036A is the standard part # for the DES-XL hybrid.

My old books and even Google has nothing on it?

Anybody know some history here?

Bre prepared to see a whole wack of different connectors on the '05' head radios......including USB.

Thanks for the reply.

BTW, Gai-Tronics still has their 'branded' version of the CommandPlus on their web-site....along with complete pdf versions of the User, Instruction and Installation/Maintenance manuals.

I'm sure the info in these is still valid for the COmmandPlus, I think?

Anyone have the pinout for the DB-25(F) connector on the back of the CommandPlus console?

My unit won't power up with just the DIN DC cable installed?

Thanks very much! The unit is a 450 Model with Tx=Rx=464.5000MHz

The formula for the 450 model works since the top of one of the xtals reads '52437500' which is obviously 52.4375MHz. This one is closest to the BNC connector and has a part # of KXN6331.

What version of RSS will create a 6D core RPF file for me?

Can a R1-UHF (403-435MHz) be tuned above 435 for 70cm HAM use?

Is it as simple as programming it and re-tuning it?
