I am assuming that the APX7000 is NOT compatible with MOTO TRBO. Are there any other multi band/multi mode transceivers that will do MOTO TRBO yet? I assume not, but I had to ask anyway. You might check Hytera for DMR (TRBO) compatability. Not all of the TRBO bells and whistles will work, but the b...

I'm out this year, we will be in Harrisburg, PA selling flashy lights to firefighters that weekend.

I guess I'm joining Matt and Terry do to my having access to a PRIVATE VHF system that has encryption when I am in Ohio. Should be a full cell with the system owner and the other users as well.

Three words...

Don't do it...

Their customer service sucks, their warranty replacement sucks, and you can better quality lights with a full 5 year warranty for the same prices you are looking at shelling out to STL.

Both are same as Axixtech Hawk-i II (OHR) and Axixtech MicroMax II (Fury) Fury is TIR optics and 1 watt leds, OHR is 70+ 5mm leds, so the Fury will be brighter.

Heck, I had a Vertex VX-150 that would do that, and that was six or seven years ago. Problem was that the display on the Vertex, like the APX's display, was pretty small and hard to read when you looked down at your belt where the radio was. Granted, the APX is a shade better as to size, but the &q...

Better still, soft ID's assigned to each radio on the system. Call sign is the sift ID. Short of that MDC ID and a posted list of IDs corrisponding with callsigns?

Just a thought.

Out of curiosity, do you have to pay or get a bus pass to ride the shuttle from the parking to the convention?

Have you looked at any of the pull out mounting shelves for equipment from Havis Shields, Jotto, Troy, etc.?

Just a suggestion.

ka8ypy

I would imagine since both radios only have one channel/personality at a time transmit/receive. I would guess that dual receive is not an option. Until someone provides a way to program two personalities at the same time to the radio, dual receive will not be an option, unlike some amateur radio gear.

ka8ypy

One minor correction to #3. Mixed mode is indeed for the receive side, but the transmit side can be set for either Analog or P25, but not both. So as Tom stated, if TX is set to digital it will TX digital, but if it is set to Analog it will TX analog.

It is exactly the same as the garbage company prosecuting you for stealing aluminum out of people's trash cans, it isn't your property or the property of the people who threw it away, it belongs to the garbage company.

Extended cab or super crew? It's a SuperCrew, so it doesn't look like much room at all behind the seat. Even the seatback moves when you lift the seat bottom. Seems to make it very tough.

Even knock offs have a model number of some sort, and you wouldn't believe the number of different knock offs of just the 2100 and the different lenses there are.

If they were new controllers, they should come CBI programmed. Giving the user the option of setting a serial number at the time of first programming. Then there also ways to change a serial number, such as shoving in a s-record from a donor or modding it to a new one. And at one point I do believe...

I believe the Panter radios are indeed "fire sale" radios, in that some years ago, Motorola had a fire in a warehouse and had an insurance claim against not only the fire damaged radios but the water damaged radios as well. M's insurance paid but M had to give up the damaged radios. The in...

It might help if you give us a make and model number off of your bar as what you describe could be anybody.

I may make it this year if it looks like the PA Fire Convention is the following weekend.

In a word....No.

They are not compatible at all. There is a way to make an A9 a W9 by swapping out the chip in the head if it as 1073 head. You just need to find someone that has surplus chips.

Someone else correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the backplanes are entirely different between the two.

Well it could be that mototrbo is more compressed than D-star since twice as much traffic can occur on the same frequency with mototrbo. i think that they should be equal compressed because d-star has a channel width of 6,25 Khz and mototrbo has a channel width of 12,5 Khz but is divide in 2 time s...

Just out of curiousity, what gauge wire are you running from the radio to the battery? I had a department that had this happen out of the blue with a couple of cruisers, the culprit was under rated wiring, if the wiring is sufficient, then as stated above, punt them back to Motorola.

Should I use a base loaded low band antenna on the grounded radio box, or a ball mount whip? If you have a good ground plane inside the box (i.e. has metal insides of the fiberglass box) then use the ball mount. If no metal in the box, then use the base loaded antenna.

Andy, Once you have the Vertexs set to the pattern you want (I presume the same pattern all of them), Red to 12 Vdc, Black to ground, connect all of the green wires in the front together for the light heads to sync up on the same pattern, and do the same for the four light heads in the back.
