Normally when I come to the batboard I go to "view newposts". However, I had not checked in in a long time and had 10 pages of new. When I was about on page 5 I clicked on a link in an email and it opened in the browser where I was viewing batboard posts. When I hit the back button, all t...

I haven't done it, but I assume the volume pot is completely different- since it shouldn't have a detent for power.

Speaking of the display speaker mic, has anyone seen the new APX mic with the display, and LED light built into it ? I was checking out MOL and saw it up for pre-orders. Thing looks nifty !

Are ASTRO Spectra consolette power supplies capable of 230V 50Hz operation? Had a look at a few pictures and I can't see a selector switch on the back, if they are capable are they auto selecting, or is there a switch inside the consolette on the power supply itself? Since they pretty much use PC p...

I have to turn off the wireless on my CF30M3 to program any radio that has an IP address (XTS5K, TRBO, Etc). Weird, but it works.

resqguy911

Is CPS going to be smart enough to still allow 25KHz channels in the amateur bands specifically, or will it just enforce narrowband channels globally? We have been told that it will enforce restrictions by frequency. Imagine if your 380-470 radio suddenly couldn't do 25KHz on NTIA channels. That wo...

There was no such thing displayed at APCO, and the pics look like every other 6000 I've seen other than the "LI" on the label.

resqguy911

Yes, but the point is there is no feedback from the radio when transmitting that you're secure. Normally I wouldn't disagree with you, but at least in the display models there are some visible signals. ∅ On = secure operation; ∅ Off = clear operation; ∅ Flashing = receiving an encrypted voice call ...

In the P25 context, at least for most users, the cryptography doesn't realistically need to be particularly strong. P25 is used mostly for tactical communications.

APX R06 is out. I noticed in the notes that it says it will not allow programming of 25KHz channels. That we be a problem for us as we have lots of 25KHz channels programmed in our current APX fleet.

They really don't lay over that bad in the wind. Also, for better price I believe Tessco sells them.

Ahh, thanks for the clarification! My friends are still envious of the 50-talkgroup limit on my 7000.

You can use a pin to push the button to invert the displays through the small hole near the corner of the display.

Are you trying to take 5 zones of 16 channels each and make one big 80 channel zone?

The unit should be entirely dark unless a radio is inserted.

The radio antenna is totally disabled when you attach a properly functioning PSM. On the Jedi series, the PSM connector depresses a spring-loaded plunger into the side of the radio which switches the RF to the PSM antenna. On the XTS, a similar function occurs- but this time it requires an RF adapte...

resqguy911

Both ideas have negatives. You may come to realize that you end up with more than just "issues". If you have as many radios as implied, there is a good chance that you could have narrowband and wideband radios trying to talk to each other on a scene, and then neither repeater nor talkaraou...

resqguy911

The RF sections ARE band-specific, that is why when you order an APX7000 you have to specify the secondary band even if you don't enable it. If you chose to enable dual-band operation, it's $1,000 list additional.

resqguy911

And MOL calls this particular kit "HKN9088B Control Station Accessory, Adapter Cable". Funny thought that anyone would consider a PL259 of any manufacture "low-loss".

OK, I looked through all of the options & menu settings, along with the CPS help file. I can't see anything in there that will allow me to have the radio display the site alias. Maybe one of the other APX owners here can chime in if they know... Did you look at the side button 1 & 2 options?
