Hi Not all chargers can charge Nickel Metalhydride batteries. NiMH are finicky batteries and the charger must recognize the the signs that the battery is charged. For the HT-1000 Motorola has a RPX4747 Bi-Chemistry Intellicharger II and the NTN1168 Rapid Enhanced charger. The NTN1177 gang charger c...

If I store 2-way radio batteries in the fridge, will they hold their charge longer ? Will it cause any damage to the battery chemistry ?

Thanks !

The invividual person is ID'ing on the frequency being emitted by their radio. That is all each person would need to do. The trunking system would have to give it's own ID on the frequencies it is transmitting on every 10 minutes during use. But the frequency emmited by their radio changes with eac...

But what about the other hams ? Let's say you have a round-table or rag-chew deal happeneing, and you've got 3-4 hams on a talk group chatting away.

Wouldn't they each have to stop and ID on each frequency every 10 minutes ?

Johnny Galaga

So you would have to keep track of what frequencies your conversation has used within each 10 minute period. Then you have to go and ID on each of those frequencies ?

Johnny Galaga

Wouldn't you have to ID on each frequency at least once every 10 minutes ?

But the radios I have are 2 watts. Shouldn't that give me more range than FRS ? Basically, what I want is a few simplex 2-way radios that have good range and can use alkaline batteries.

My understanding is that there is someway you can read the codeplug with a hex editor and find the password. I don't know the specifics of it, but perhaps this might lead you in the right direction. There was someone on a mailing list who did this for me a while back. I e-mailed him the codeplugs on...

If I program my XTS-3000 with the failsoft frequencies for each talk group, how does it "know" when to go into failsoft mode ? If the control channel goes down, won't the radio just display out of range ? Or do the control channel repeaters transmit some special signal telling all radios t...

I have a couple Motorola P10's on VHF. Is there anyway to program the frequency or is it crystal controlled ?

I see a bunch of dip switches under the battery. Does anyone know what they're for ?

EDACS systems don't require auto-affiliation (or auto login in EDACS terms). You can disable it in the software. Depending on what model of radio you buy, you might be able to find the software here: http://64.204.241.148/rss/ge_e/ Be warned that some newer EDACS radios such as the Jaguar 700P or th...

Johnny Galaga

What version of software are you using ?

Oh well, i'll just get a deal on a Jaguar 700P when they go digital. It wont really be an issue for a few years yet. I'll either get the 96 or hold out for the new uniden offering.

You do realize the EDACS version of the software you'll need is $2500 ?

When I called M/A-COM about a year ago, they quoted me their prices for their Windows software (called edacs4 or ProGrammer, I believe) at $250 for the conventional-only version and $2500 for the EDACS version !

Better yet, go to http://www.priceindustries.com/ and get the programming cable and the RIB box (the P96A) and then you can program the radio. You should be able to find the software on the internet.

Then how do all these people on this board program their radios for trunking ?

Has anyone heard from Elroy Jetson ? I was interested in buying that 800 MHz M-PA and he told me it was an auction that would end last Friday. I haven't heard from him since.

I need a UHF pager that works with both POCSAG (512 baud) and Golay Sequential Code (GSC) function 2.

Sure you can. Any MCS2000 or MTS2000 with the proper Flashcode can display the radio ID, as well as regular SmartNet Spectras (not Astro). But what if it's message trunking ?

I have a 90 watt power inverter which seems to work fine on electronic items such as a police scanner. It doesn't work on a construction-style work lamp though. Since the lamp is only using a 60 watt bulb, shouldn't it work ?

That's something I've never understood. How can a 'watchbuddy' radio (or any radio for that matter) have "incompatible stuff"? How is it that enabling lots of features in a radio causes problems ? And why do they call it the "Chicago flashcode"? I don't see what a radio's feature...
