Hi group, I'm looking for a headset that will interface with a Motorola Astro Spectra that can be used in law enforcement while rolling code 3. I've seen them on fire rigs and I believe they are made by David Clark but I'm not sure. I'm looking for one that is permanently attached to the radio, has ...

sorry, this is going to hurt. drop the $125 it costs and buy a WPLN4111 rapid charger. that will be the end of your charger woes, forever. even if something changes (i.e. NEW CHEMISTRY) the WPLN4111 impres charger is FIRMWARE RE-FLASHABLE doug I just bought a Impres charger for my saber/XTS on E-ba...

So what's the latest and greatest version of CPS for the XTS5000 radio ????

Hey common guys someone surly must have an answerer to this >> Please ....

just bought 2 Impres batteries and guess were the cells were made?? Japan. So much for using US stuff.

Can I use a majority of the external and internal parts from an older NTN5487(C) Saber converta com to repair an Astro AVA? I know that the logic board and the universal connector can't be used but what about the shell and other parts inside?

Thanks

What's more fun is getting them back together, which is also the reason that those of us who have "been there" try not to take them apart to start with. If you do take it apart take careful note of where all the shiny metal parts are located because they tend to fall out if you're not car...

Hi all,

Does anyone know of the proper procedure in opening a Astro Saber AVA without damaging the two clamshell covers ?

thanks

ScannerDan

Well you could always try selling your radio equipment were there are NO rules like the newsgroup rec.radio.swap then you wont have to worry about fools like Patric Harrington killing your add.

Just my 2 cents

Can a Astro Saber AVA's firmware be upgraded by flashing it ???

Hi there, I recently acquired a complete Astro Saber AVA off of E-bay. It was advertised as Kit# NTN7227E, however when I finally got home from travel and opened the package I discovered that it's actually kit # NTN7227A. Can anyone tell me the differences in the A verses E. Also, will the "A&q...

ScannerDan

I doubt it... Knowing those Motorola bastards the new contract will have a stipulation that all the old Astro Sabers be destroyed so they wont flood the market. The article says the backbone is good it's the units in the field they want to replace so I guess they're going to stay UHF not 800 and go ...

Hi group,

I just received a Motorola WPLN4114AR, Impres Adaptive single battery charger, firmware version 3.0. Would someone be willing to send me a full copy of the owners manual for this charger ? I'm willing to pay for any costs incurred.

Thanks

Excellent, but would the charger need to be sent to Motorola or would a decent size shop be able to do the up flash? I like the idea of having a LCD display on the single unit =)

ScannerDan

Something also important is the flash version in the charger. It should be on the bottom. I think current version is 3.1. It's a slow job to flash the chargers though especially 6 ways where it takes about 5 minutes a slot. But flashing the chargers solved my intermittent display problems. I presen...

Hi all, I just purchased a Motorola Impres battery Charger Model No. WPLN4114AR off of E-bay for $ 75.00 and I have heard conflicting reports that a Impres battery will ONLY work with a Impress charger. I have two Impress batteries for my XTS3000 but I don't know if they were "initialized"...

I didn't know that you could attach a Sys9000 Astro control head to a XTS AVA. Does the control head operate all functions like zone. volume, mode, etc.

So let me see if I understand this. Astro Spectra CPS version 4.00.01 will not read or program a Spectra plus. I was told that Astro Spectra CPS vresion 5.00.00 will. Is this correct ?

So can it be programmed with the most recent CPS for the Astro Spectra ?

I just got a Uhf Astro Spectra Plus and I was wondering what the difference is between the Astro Spectra and the Astro Spectra Plus?

I'm not a 100 % sure about this. The FBI in Los Angeles and around the country just got rid of Nextel and got Verison phones with out there version of DC. I was told that Nextel was/is unwilling to work with Federal agencies on price and features so they’re taking their money elsewhere.

ScannerDan

Enough to show I didn't read past the first post... You are entitled to your opinion, but try to make sure it's an informed one. Motorola does NOT just sell these radios to Federal Agencies. They will sell them to whoever is willing to pay for them. Todd The federal Gov't also sells surplus FEDERAL...

a government agency had some broke XTS radios, M said no way can we flatrate those, they were abused. So, said government agency says "we'll buy all new radio's". Enter Harold Pick, who says he can order the parts and repair the radio's. M lost the contract for the sale of a LOT of XTS's,...

ScannerDan

So who is Harold Pick and what did he do to piss off Motorola?

ScannerDan

I noticed one thing that all of these incidents have in common. That’s that someone illegally accessed a trunk radio system, hence the computer hacking. Would the same “computer hacking” laws also apply if someone were to program conventional frequencies into there radio?

I have a UHF DeskTrac repeater and presently it's configured to use the internal microphone. I have what I think is the correct desk mic for it but when I plug it it it doesn’t work. Is there a jumper on the front control panel that heeds to be changed or is it something in the RSS?
