I have just checked this and it appears they were already at full retraction. Did notice in each mounting channel/groove however there was some plastic tubing that has been cut up to the mounting bracket position, will cutting off more tubing be okay/fix the problem or is that something I shouldn't ...

I recently picked up a used MX7000 to add to my collection. Sat it on top of the car and ran the wires to the battery to test (not installing it on the car at the present time) and noticed that the mounting feet come out about half an inch to an inch past the roofline, and end up sitting on the top ...

Okay so i just inserted radios into my Saber gang charger. it thought about it for maybe two minutes quietly as all was normal, then decided it needed the cooling fan on as there were 6 in the unit. after the fan being on for maybe three seconds, i casually look over to discover smoke pouring out of...

Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with the CP185, how they feel about it, how it performs, what they like and don't like, etc?

Ok, so I am looking at purchasing an Astro Spectra with the 9000 control head, and using the 9000 head till i can get my hands on a HHCH for it. Never had one before, but from what it looks like the regular white Motorola mic that plugs into it plugs into the back of the control head? Only problem i...

Hi all, I want to get a Motorola radio with a HHCH due to limited space in my car to mount stuff. I was looking at ASTRO Spectras, and wondering if the W3 HHCH on the ASTRO Spectras just plugs into the same spot as, say a 9000 series control head, or does the actual radio need to have a special atta...

Hi all,

Probably a long shot, but does anyone know if it is possible to program Kenwood radios, specifically the TK-360G out of band at all?

Bandsplit ends at 470 MHz, however I wish to make it go to 480MHz.

Thanks people!!

Hi all, Recently picked up a GM950 HHCH for cheap, now wanting to link it to a GM950 after I recieve the HHCH in the mail shortly.

Hi board, Wondering if at all it can possibly be done. What I'm interested in is whether or not a PA function can be added (either internally or externally) to a remote mount siren which was not designed for PA use (long shot, I know). Examples of such units include the Carson SA-361, Federal MS4000...

I read somewhere in another post (that I can't find on a search at the moment) that there is a simple test you can perform or a cetrtain date of manufacture you can check up on, to determine if a particular Jedi radio has the RF switch installed, without having to open it up and look at the interior...

Hi All, Just bought an MTVA Converticom Holder and Control Unit (NTN1340A and NTN1322A) and need 4 main questions answered. If you could help, please do. 1) The holder did not come with a locking key for the security of the Jedi radio. Where can I buy one (part No.?)/could a locksmith make one for m...

Hi all, Thanks for all of your responses. Sorry it's been a while since I looked at this topic, kinda forgot I had posted it until now.

Hi all, Bought a couple of MTX838 Jedi radios the other week, have yet to program them. Was also thinking of getting a GP300 because I've heard they're very good. Ive used Waris radios before and the range, durability, etc totally sucked in my situation (UHF high split, mainly simplex). I mucked aro...

Would it be possible at all to modify the ASTRO W3 control head for use on a GM328 or GM338 (Australian version of CDM750/CDM1250) or even a GM300 to control all the functions. In my car, all I have room for is a microphone on the dash, literally, nowhere to mount a radio or even a remote mount cont...

I'm pretty sure he has approval from his chief anyway Just my opinion, i would not touch it as im sure legislation only permits authorised Emergency Services and Dept's to use this equipment in Australia. Whether he gets permission or not from his "Chief" it still does not change the fact...

on some sirens you can push the Manual button and it will change the siren tone to your pre-programmed tone for a short amount of time.

Wayne, Thanks for the input, if it happens i will definately share pics. Further ideas from anyone are still welcome.
