I enabled secure hardware in CPS. Turned on the radio and got a "KEY FAILED" message, but when I went into service mode, I saw DES XL and DES OTB (??).
So I assume the board is installed. I'm never going to use it, But If I were to ever sell it, I could be accurate in my description.

Thanks again ...

I don't have the model with the top display (wish I did).

I notice as I change zones the last channel beep changes around.

I don't have the 838 Lab so I'm SOL

I am not sure if this is a programing error or something's fubar.

I have an MTX-838 B3 W/ No display (H01RDC9DB3AN)
I loaded in a B4 Codeplug (H01RDD9DB4AN) so I can use MDC (which works) and make it 48ch.

I created 48 Personalities and created 3 zones with 16 Personalities in each zone(For the ...

I screwed up.

I'm looking for a MTX-838 UHF (Low 403mhz bandsplit) Codeplug that could load in LAB

I backed the radio up in the RSS and it won't load into LAB (Get the "OLD CODEPLUG") Error. I forced an MTS2000 codeplug in and it had the wrong bandsplit. So now I'm stuck


I have a model ...

Thanks all

I have been looking at getting a jedi series radio.

The MTS2000 Caught my eye but after doing research I am just a little stumped.

Do you need a smartRIB to program the options in the radios (Like buttons and freqs) or can you do with the regular rib?

Best advice I'd say, is to get it back to hi-split, align it for the low end of that split and shift-key the freqs in, before something smokes.....

That is the current status of my radio right now with exception for the Low-End Alignment. So If I adjust the VCO like stated ealier It could be ...

Ive Recorded it (I think)

F2: Crystal data (####/####) , Tuning Data (###,####) (It have the numbers but I wasn't sure if they were to be posted)
F3: Rv = 63
F4: Rv = 102

Thanks for the info.

I did try the Shift method.
For some reason my power meter would jump over 60W
and I couldn't key the repeater (I Could access it on my HT w/ 5watts)

So I might have to adjust the VFO then?

I was going into the auction thinking I was getting

32ch, 146mhz-174mhz (rf board)

But what I got is
16ch 144mhz-162mhz (rf board)

I did hack it for 32 channels. But according to the RF board I got 144mhz-162mhz which I want because I am using it for HAM radio.

But I noticed in the RSS soft ...

I just noticed the the RSS does not have an option for 144-174.
Hmm now I'm stuck

I just bought a Maxtrac on Ebay and I have received it today. Well to my NOT So surprise, It's diffrent then what they have listed.
They listed model #D43MJA7JA5AK 32ch radio and I've got model no. D43MJA7DA5CK 16ch Radio. Both have the 16pin board

The Model Number Is
D43MJA7DA5CK

I've got it to ...

I got a ton of questions (don't mind me asking)

Where is the Computer located?

I've built a computer with an mini-itx board and I have a 7" Audiobahn TFT screen. I have it under my rear seat using a 12v PSU

Is the bezel around the screen made of wood also?

And could you guesstimate how much this ...

Nice!!

You just gave me an Idea.
I was going to make mine out of metal. But I guess wood can work too.

Is that a roll-on bedliner to make the textured surface?

Max-trac wrote: you could remote head it.

I would Love to!!
But I heard those kits are expensive.

Soon as I get my radio in I will see if it could make my own.
I am a metal fabricator so If I have to make a back for it. I will

Has anyone ever made a kit on their own?

be careful drilling around inside the console because alot of the airbag triggers and sensors are in consoles of several vehicles.

There isn't any in the blazer that I know of. The airbag wires are in the dash (From the passengers bag to the fuse panel) and the rear sensors wire is in with the ...

I am having trouble picking a spot to mount my maxtrac.

I already got crap in the center console

So I was thinking of putting the radio IN the center console under the arm rest

I Figured it would be a good place ...

Called Newengland Comm. They will get me one by monday (I'm the type to get it NOW!). I guess I should support the local community.

O/T: KB0NLY, Nice call.

Ahh news I didn't want to hear.

Figured I can save a couple of dollars. I guess not.
Thanks again

After doing some more I found the wiring for the maxtrac (Correct me if I'm worng)

Pin 1-8
1- PB1
2- PB2
3- Hook
4- GND*
5- Mic Audio*
6- PTT*
7- SCI
8- Handset Audio*

So I assume I hook those wires up to Pins 4,5,6 and 8? But I am not sure which way how.

here is a quick diagram on How the mic ...

Got ahold of a maxtrac radio that did not come with no mic. So after looking around the house I found a CB mic back from my days on CB.

After some research I found that the mic uses 4 wires

Sheild - Audio Shield
Yellow - Audio Lead
Black - TX Ctrl
White - RX Ctrl

I was wondering if it's possible ...
