Have a HT1550 that had gotten wet. not dropped in water wet. just out on my belt in the rain wet. but stopped working. now it reads cmos error. able to read and write to the radio with software. it will receive sometimes. but will not transmit. what am I looking at for repair? any suggestions??

thgiz

Question for you all... i worked somewhere that had HT1250s. the bottom button was programmed as short press repeater/direct. but long press would let you change the PL for the selected channel. how is this done? cant find it anywhere in the options. thanks for any help

thgiz

And if it is how would it work?

I have a HT1250 LS AAH25SDH9DU6AN that I would love to have 128 conventional channels.

thgiz

I have used Meguiars Plastic Restoration Kit for CDM1250s and it has worked great.

thgiz

I have a Non-DTMF, Non-display P1225. I am wondering if it is possible to upgrade this radio to have both. I have done this with a Visar before, but was not sure about the P1225s. Any hints, suggestions, or part numbers would be great. Thanks!!!

thgiz

Looking for the part number for a maxtrac escutcheon. need the one with scan not exit. thanks.

thgiz

Or is my problem that fact i am using a 9-pin to 25-pin adaptor instead of the 9-pin to 25-pin cable? just looking at different posts and trying to figure out the problem here...

Thanks

thgiz

Just another quick one. do I have to do anything with the Boot Control lead? I tried this briefly and got the error of no rib power. And since it's ribless....Looking at the RJ45 plug with cord to the left and tab facing me I have 4 leads.

1 - empty
2 - orange
3 - empty
4 - empty
5 – white – Ground ...

thgiz

So here is my next question. if it works with those radios, i should be able to make an "adapter" to program a P1225 as well correct? should be able to just use the ground and data leads off the RJ45 plug? anyone tried this yet? would kinda be nice if this all does work..weed out some of the cables ...

thgiz

I have a Motorola OEM ribless cable to program a CDM. Will it also work with a Maxtrac? don't want to plug it in and blow something up...just curious if somelse has already tried it.

Thanks

thgiz

So, i have two HT1250 UHF radios. one is a LS and one is not. so i can not clone from one radio to the next becuse they are different models. but i want to have the same conventional personalities i have in the LS that i have in the other radio. is there a way to copy the conventional personailties ...

thgiz

I have had the same error message. Found it to be a low voltage issue. Not to sure why.

thgiz

It is the motorola rick and cables. worked fine last year when i used it last. so not sure whats going on now

thgiz

Took the repeater out of the basement the other day for a boy scout event, turned it on, and noted low audio on the receiving portable. repeater is two maxtracs and a rick together. receive maxtrac sounds fine. and if you key up the transmit maxtrac it comes across the portable load and clear, but ...

thgiz

any idea what error code 5/10 is? looked but could not find anything. thanks

thgiz

This is going to be used for a back up. Not primary. But thanks for your concern.

thgiz

Looking for a program that allows a computer to be used as a dispatch console, then an interface to the radios. Kind of like what 911 centers use but don't need the whole CAD system. I have seen them before at a few 911 centers I have been at. Use the computer with 5 or so frequencies. Mouse click ...

thgiz

had it connected to laptop using microsft streets. worked very nicely. do not really use it for hand held. mostly vehicle mounted

thgiz

it is a magellan 310, not the greatest but it worked, and now its gone. thanks

thgiz

I know its a bit off topic but...anyone know if it is possible to track a stolen GPS? If so, how is it done, and what information do I need to do it. Thanks

thgiz

I called my dealer and was told mid summer. He stated will be the same as a IV but capable of doing 12.5 or 25 bandwidth

thgiz

how about this one?

thgiz

any idea if any changes in RSS or internal jumpers is necessary for use with this panel?

thgiz

I currently have a repeater made of 2 Maxtracs and a RICK. Would like to replace the RICK with an inexpensive community panel. Any suggestions? thanks

thgiz

Looking for a few opinions. Here is what we are looking for. Currently in our fire department we use all low band equipment (44.06mhz) what we are looking at doing is upgrading to UHF or VHF portable radios. Channel 1 going back to a truck with a crossband repeater to low band. And channel 2 being a ...

thgiz

We had ONE replaced and I think it was around $300-$350. After that they became disposable radios. Something went wrong we pitched it and bought something decent.

thgiz

Had this and the dreaded "88" as well. Both are problems with the controller and requires its replacement.

thgiz

Currently looking to purchase a battery conditioner and looking for a few suggestions. At least 6 bays. Will be used for ht750 and mt1000. Would like one with a display to show volts and mAh with conditioning. Also a ballpark price I would be looking at. Thanks.

thgiz

I prefer the MT-1000 for portable and the Syntor X9000 for a mobile. The MT-1000 is a very durable radio and has a descent amount of options including user scan and QCII. They are pretty easy to come-by on e-bay as well. Syntor X9000 is also a great radio and is very user friendly. We are in the ...

thgiz

They will blow on their own. But I usually like to cut it. That way if you ever want to reverse the process a drop of solder is all you need.

thgiz

With the plug on the back and no face it may be for data/MDT. looks like a spectra unit used with motorolas MDTs

thgiz

Let us know what you get on a quote. looking at a few things for grant time.

thgiz

do you have a price for that unit? just kinda curious

thgiz

APCOR. I have used a few of these. just like on Emergency...lol "sending EKG"

repeater worked for a portable radio to mobile radio function. i think ours was 15 watt.

Heavy little buggers as well

thgiz

For “User scan”

Press and hold down the scan button till it beeps and the display flashes. Scroll to a channel you want in scan and press the "select" button. It will add a hash mark on the left of the display. To make a channel priority, scroll to that channel and press and hold the "select ...

thgiz

We are looking into possibly using this unit for a dispatch console at are firehouse. what radios can i interface it with? any chance with maxtracs? and how? anyone have a manual lying around for one of these? thanks

thgiz

A friend of mine called me up and said he had picked up an old radio for me at an auction. Asked if I wanted it. I included pictures he e-mailed me because I’m not really to sure what it is. Looks like and old dispatch console of some kind. Is it just a controller or an actual radio? Thanks for any ...

thgiz

Very helpful!!!

Thank you very much!!!

thgiz

We had purchased new batteries from motorola. all with a recent date code. batteries were for HT1250s. the MAh came back low after we ran it through the conditioner so we gave the big /\/\ a call they said anything that rated 75% or better of listed capacity can be considered "WNL" (with in normal ...

thgiz

Unless you plan on getting the rest of the parts and spending a small fortune. better off selling it on e-bay and buying yourself a nice rackmount clock (if thats what your looking for) and a couple of speakers. these things are not the easiest to "play around with"

thgiz

I did read through it and did not see a password, I most likely missed it. I apologize for being a loser...I just thought (by the sounds of your reply incorrectly) , that some nice batlaber would we happy to help me out. Thanks

after that....anyone able to put it through a soundcard with any luck?

thgiz

i know this is an old post but... i had just purchased a spectra and i knew this was here. so i downloaded the software. ran installer.exe, then ran vrchsetup.exe. i then tried to run VRCH profiler and it asked me for a password. any ideas? or is this a newer version? anyone have the old version ...

thgiz

Small and lightweight, I prefer the Motorola Visar. Easily found on E-bay. Have had mine for 5 years and only problem I have had is battery needed to be replaced. I am a Paramedic so the radio does get beat upon occasion and is not as fragile as some have said. Has been dropped at least a dozen ...

thgiz

We had in our stock several of these radios and experienced the same type of problem. We had noted that it occurred more with aftermarket batteries than with Motorola. We also noted that if the battery was moved around that the problem could duplicate. Using a pencil eraser and cleaning the radio ...

thgiz

Not to the best of my knowledge. We do keep pagers locked in an amplified chargers but if you ever to take them out they would not last a minute. We have placed “dead” batteries in the pagers and they seem to work fine. But again these are pagers that are part of an alerting system and are never ...

thgiz

i have been looking around. and found the following out:

For VHF
Multiply the frequency stamped on the Motorola crystal by 3.
Then add 17.9.

is this correct?
if so what is the formula for UHF and low band?

thanks

thgiz

looking at another pager closely i found what looks like a freq but not sure

45510.00

thgiz

have a couple of Minitor II's lying around a trying to figure out what freq. they are set on. any idea on how to figure it out? have taken them apart and know were the channel crystal is but does not have a freq. listed on it. thanks :-? :-? pulled another pager apart and it has the following ...

thgiz

Had a salesmen trying to sell me one of these. Did not get to play with it much though. He stated that the radio could be left in a vehicle and the wireless mic could be carried on your person. Not sure of the range with that. Kinda worked like the old PAC system. Radio could be set up on a VRS unit ...
