I have had the experiance of hearing one in action. A second long thump is like a kick in the chest by a horse. They will make anything not bolted down dance across the floor. Seems like they move cars pretty well too, it will at least get the attention of some drivers who don't pay attention to ...

As a matter of fact we just got a couple of these as county vehicles. Our package includes a mounted console (can't remember the type off the top of my head but they took the cup holders out to mount them) We have a CDM1550 and a Kenwood 8180 plus a switch panel and a blank spot on the face of the ...

but regardless if the kenwoods decode or not shouldn't I be able to decode their mdc signal on my Ht1250?

Alright I searched old posts and can't find anyone having the same problem...
The county just switched on their MDC signalling as a repeater key, we have a mix of kenwood mobiles with aftermarket mdc boards and HT1250 portables. What I have noticed is when a motorola radio keys up I can see the PTT ...

just a personal opinion from past experiances, if you are buying for what you have now at least double it for future upgrades. i.e. buy at least a 4 strobe I would probably go with one of the whelen 6 strobe packs with 2x2x2 switching or 2x4 switching not a whole lot more money and allows for ...

my $.02 sense I deal with this on a semi regular basis right now. Our county switched to UHF the neighboring county is still in the 46.xx range, so when going mutual aid it's tough to "play together". Normally what goes on is the commanding officer had both portable and relays messages back and ...

Well after more playing I figured it out, thanks for the help!

sorry to sound ignorant about this but where is the .exe file? does it get transfered when you read the code plug? Thanks

I am confused as to what I am doing. I need to access a couple Ht1250ls+ without losing all the data but they are passworded. I have Professional Radio CPS R06.04.00 but I am lost as what I want to import into my hex editor. I have a codeplug from a cdm1250 I have been trying to play with to get ...

Has anyone had any experiance with these, programming, installing, etc.? How much does one cost? I am trying to decide if I should install one in my gm300 and kenwood portable or just sell them and buy an ht1250 and a cdm 1250/1550.

is it possible to not use the connector for the radio test when building this cable? And if it is does it change the pinout at all?

even if it won't do a-b a-c on the same channel you should be able to program two identical channels with a-b on one and a-c on the other and scan both channels, however I haven't tried it just speculating from what I have tried. The only downside I see is if it locks on the channel with a-b and the ...

so no one has tried using the Motorola RIB for programming kenwood? If I try it would it damage anything or will it just not work?

This is part motorola question part kenwood. Has anyone ever tried using a motorola rib and making a basic cable for kenwood programming? I know kenwoods typically have logic inside the the connector I was just wondering if the RIB would do the same thing and if anyone has done this do they have the ...

I don't know much about the console of a 1994 but I had a 1999, they have a big cubby hole in the console where I was able to mount a gm300 and a scanner, the back of the cubby hole had knockouts that the wires could be run through. I installed 2 trunk mount antennas one on each side. It worked very ...

I recommend looking at vehicles for what they have or don't have, for example, look for something that has plenty of floorspace upfront (no floor mounted center console) so you have some place to mount all your equipment. Also make sure the vehicle has composite headlights with somewhere to mount ...
