FPP will work since the flash code has both Q52 and Q53 option together but trunking will not work.

I changed out the lcd to no effect.I changed out the ribbon cable that goes to the keyboard assembly.Same dim backlight.

Only thing I have not changed out is the keyboard assembly.

I bet if you did change out the keyboard assembly,the backlight will be bright like it should be?Not 100% sure.

Thanks.They are a little more than I want to spend.I did end up getting a brand new in the box Panasonic OEM desktop port replicator on Ebay for $125.00 shipped.

Now finding a oem shoulder strap for the Toughbook CF-29 is nearly impossible.Anyone know if the Toughmate C1 shoulder strap will work on ...

Model no does not tell you if a radio is "R"or not..Same thing goes for the Astro Saber R,XTS3000R,XTS2500i,XTS5000R portables.All these

radio have the same model no as the non "R"radios.

I would not go swimming with a '"R"rated radio unless you can get it tested to make sure the water tight ...

Can anyone tell me the current revision of the US Professional Series(HT750,HT1250) is along with the current revision for the US Commercial(CP200 etc.)cps is??

I just picked up two NEW IN BOX Jedi Public Safety Mics and looking to get info on them.

Motorola Kit no#NMN6228C

But the two mics I got looks more like "SP"models.

On the mic head,there is a separate wire coming down the ...

Under MTS2000 CPS,did you check the Zone/Ch assignment?

To make sure that you have the correct channel no assigned to the correct zone and to change personality type from trunked to conventional?Also check under SECURE option and make sure that you don't have hardware encryption enabled checked off.

kotaguchi

Alex thanks for the info...Looks like I the KVL I am expecting does also in fact have ASN mode as well so even better.,Looks like I lucked out....

kotaguchi

Hi,

If a KVL3000 unit only has ASTRO 25 mode,does it still have the ability to load key in conventional P25 IMBE and analog Securenet?

The unit has DES(DES-OFB/DES-XL).

Thanks in advance.

When I worked security years ago for a School District,I had times when I would be attempting to hand cuff a guy and during the take down,the mic would come loose from my lapel and the cord of the mic getting tangled around my leg and having to stop and unwrap the mic cord from my leg.

I bought a XTS5000 Model II VHF one time on Ebay that had a "SIERRA MOD"Type I CCI module in it.When I bought it,I was not aware that it had a SIERRA Module in it till I received it and posted looking for info on Bat Labs forum.

The US GOV definitely wants to recover any radios with a TYPE I CCI ...

What is the firmware HOST for each radios?

With ASTRO 25 Series portables,you need a minimum of HOST R08.xx for QCII paging to work.

kotaguchi

Both radios will do MDC-1200 signaling even if the flash codes were only H35 conventional only.

The QCII is available on the XTS5000 after HOST 9 if I am not mistaken?Not sure on the firmware version needed on the XTS2500.The QCII is a standard option on both radios.

kotaguchi

It will do conventional as well.

MOTOROLA NTN7396BR Prem Batt NiMH 600 mAh 7.5V

Only issue is that since its only 600mAh,it will only last about 4 hrs if you have your radio set to high power,

Battery is half the size of the standard battery.With this battery on the radio,the radio is slightly thinner than a pack of cigarettes.

kotaguchi

That radio also could have been previously programmed with MCS2000 CPS Ver R02.03.00.If it has,your R02.02.00 will not work.

Are you getting a "SOFTWARE TOO NEW FOR PROGRAM"error on the screen?

kotaguchi

There is a mod out there to add the LCD readout from a Impres Six unit charger to the Single unit charger on Bat Labs.Another way is to get the Impres Battery readout cradle that connects to a pc.I know this way is not a charger but another way to get the Battery info.

The rental company I used to work for in Hollywood used to rent these.For extended use,it is not good.When I tested them,the part that went into the ear canal hurt since the earpiece was a slight larger than than my ear canal and the wrap round band hurt my ears because the material used was not ...

Did you try loading a key into the module to see if the DES-XL algorithm works?

I agree.I have a Astro Saber with the same host and DSP as above and it does IMBE.

Wondering if Motorola made any Motorola Saber secure modules that will do infinite key retention capability or were all the modules set to erase keys once the batteries were removed??

Hi,

I would like to know will a Motorola T3014-DX("dx"revision) DVP-XL kvl unit load keys into a Astro portable starting from Astro Saber to the XTS5000?

Trying to find a cheaper way to load keys into my Astro Saber with DVP-XL modules than having to buy a KVL3000.

Thanks in advance,

I have a feeling that some of the XTS2500,XTS5000 portables will be saved off the conveyors before going into the compacter by Iraq workers and will be hitting the secondary market.Also,some soldiers will have a few I think they will bring back home and will also filter into the secondary market ...

kotaguchi

I have a theory.What if the radio had:

Firmware:AP_R03.36.00

DSP:I05.01.06(Analog/digital operation)

Flash code:000001-000000-9

-H35: Conventional Systems Operation

Just a theory.

Will the combo of a digital/analog firmware and the conventional systems ops only cause the radio for example to ...

kotaguchi

No.I think the above person meant to check in the RSS software.In the programming software,there is a option to disable the LED.

kotaguchi

Yeah,from your pics,if I am seeing it correctly,bottom from the left row,starting from the last pin,those two upper pins looks like they are missing?You likely can fix it very easily by replacing the pins?

kotaguchi

Now if you have a XTS3000/Jedi series USB programming cable,Motorola never made a USB version of the Jedi/XTS3000 cable.

Moto only made a serial port version.

kotaguchi

Here is a pic of a Motorola OEM USB programming cable pinout for the Astro 25 Series portable:

I use my cable all the time so I know it is not missing any pins.

kotaguchi

Yes.That version is still the latest ASTRO SABER/XTS3000 CPS.

kotaguchi

You need a LCD with ribbon flex assembly and the Model II/III front shield.(has the full keypad)Lastly, Model II or Model III housing.That is the hardware part.

kotaguchi

I could be wrong but I don't think Moto ever came out with a Convertacom for the XTS2500??

CPS R02.03.00

Very last release of the MTS2000 software CPS Windows Based.

First in the Astro CPS, if the channel is a analog conventional,make sure under conventional personality,you have MDC-1200 selected for signaling and under the MDC tab,make sure under MDC encode,you have a check mark in "unlimited calling".For a conventional Astro digital freq channel,make sure for ...

kotaguchi

A DES-XL/DES-OFB UCM board a XTS3000 usually goes for around$75.00 or so..They can be some on Ebay at times.

The radio is very easy to open.What ever you do,don't use a screwdriver..It will damage your housing.Use the proper tool.

The instructions is on Batdude's article here:

I don't know if Motorola ever made a XTS4000 UHF in the 450-520MHz" S" split?I could be wrong but I think the XTS4000 only comes in Q split for UHF???

Possibly the pop up screen telling you the "codeplug is too new for the program"is not coming up?

That is my first guess the reason you are not seeing the changes.

Read the radio and see what version of CPS was last used to program the radio before.If its CPS R02.02.00 or R02.03.00,then that would ...

NTN9815 also comes up as battery for the XTS2500 Astro 25 series battery.

The battery on the left is a XTS2500/XTS1500/MT1500/PR1500 Astro 25 Series portable battery.I can tell by the battery contact on the back being higher than the lower ones on the HT1250 Waris battery which is the one on the right in the pic.

Also,the dead giveaway when you said it fits your EF ...

Yeah,I know how small those fuses are..I used to do caps or resistors so small you had to use magnifiers to see the parts when I did rework on pcb boards at the plant I used to work in.I am IPC 610D trained.The worst damage is when someone tries to solder and heats up a pad and lifts it from the ...

Both radios are about the same..Except the EX560 is the IP67(Submersible) limited keypad model of the EX600-XLS.

To turn off the "OUT OF RANGE"indicator,under CPS,Radio wide,general tab,there is a box for Out of Range indicator,select.no indication.

kotaguchi

Were you cloning trunking freqs into that radio??Or just conventional?

kotaguchi

Turn off the "out of range"indicator in the CPS..Its a indicator for trunking systems.
