HT1250 or HT750 Model ID Please

Ra · Post by Ra » Fri Jan 31, 2003 4:34 pm

I have a AAH25RDG9AA4AN and could not match it correctly in the Batlabs charts.

Could someone tell me what it is? Has a full keypad without the display. 16 Channel. 3 buttons only above the keypad.

What is main difference between the 750 and the 1250 and which is this?

Well if it has 16 channels and no display then it sounds like a HT750 with a keypad.

Of course the main difference between the HT750 and HT1250 is that the HT750 is only 16 channels with no display at all. Some have keypads and some do not.
The HT1250 of course has a full display (one line 8 char max) as well as 128 channels capacity. The 128 channel cap. comes into play as the radio has to be setup in zones. Now the radio is laid out in the fashion of 16 channels per zone max, with a total of 8 zones. Also you have alpha-numeric as well as some have ability of two tone (QCII) encode/decode, single tone encode, MDC encode, emergency MDC encode, etc... All models of HT1250 have 6 buttons on the front of the radio with 4 of them programmable (if memory serves me)

Now to even confuse you more there is also a HT1550 XLS model out on the market. This radio is capable of 160 channels total, and you are able in this case to put up to 99 channels per conventional zone and up to 16 LTR trunked zones. All of these radios come with full front keypad, voice storage built in as well as 4 line 14 char alpha-numeric display just to name a few features.
The HT1550 XLS also has the ability to have a special battery hooked up to which allows the radio to be programmed on the front keypad. You can only change the freq PL/DPL, bandsplit, but you can not change the name from what I was told.

Hope this helps and does not hinder.

Please excuse me as this is probably a stupid answer... but... There should be a sticker on the front of the radio saying "HT 750" or "HT 1250". Or maybe you dont have the radio in hand and was only given a model number and some specs?

Thanks guys, yes it is very helpful N9UPC.

The thing is the label is gone and that is the problem. It was a gift and came without the label.

Here is a pix.

Yup, that's what it sounds like. I've noticed on this Waris series A6 has
been for full keypad radios, A5 limited keypad. Never handled a DTMF
HT750 but A4 would follow the progression. Not sure if the 2 ch. is A1 or A2, then the non DTMF 16 ch. would be A2 or A3. Just what we needed- a new ID format !

Just saw the photo after posting and it's a HT750 for sure.
UHF 403-470

Could also be a PRO5150 European version, although I didn't look at the model definition.

Nope, it's an AAH prefix.

I had a question. It says in the 1250 manual that it can have only 16 conventional channels. I thought it could also do 128 conventional.

I believe the HT1250LS is 16 conv, but the non LS is 128 channel.

I never saw or knew a DTMF HT750 was even around..

elkbow · Post by **elkbow** » Fri Jan 31, 2003 10:30 pm

PJ is right, the 1250LS will only do 16 conventional. The LS is mainly a trunking setup.

There is now a 32 channel LS version of the HT1250 out. Still 15 trunked zones, and 16 talkgroups but now also 32 conv. zones. It is available in either a full or limited keypad version. Now this is for UHF bandsplit.

The 220 and 700 Mhz splits are still only 16 channels conv. but same amount of zones/talkgroups.

According to checking via Motorola price pages through my connections the model number of: AAH25RDG9AA4AN comes back to the following info: Motorola HT750 UHF portable with full keypad Bandsplit is 403 Mhz - 470 Mhz. Suggested retail price on that radio brand new is $940.00

Very nice little gift you got. If I may make a suggestion get the current version of rss r6.01 or something to that effect. Lot less problems in the end when you can use r6.01 or later with prof. from what I have found out.

Hope that this helps!!!!

I have 2 LS radios with recieve audio problems. The first one, when another radio is keyed up on freq and the vol knob is at maximum. It is barely audible..you can hear the voice but very low.
The second one is low audio until you really get close to the transmitting radios mic. Then, the recieving radio gets feedback response on any sudden increase in voice volume into the mic. When you compensate by rasing the volume knob..you get feedback as well..no happy medium. I hope that wasn't confusing

The model number AAH25RDG9AA4AN identifies a UHF HT750, 16-channel DTMF radio for the 403-470 MHz split. I happen to have one exactly like it, that I use as the control radio for my company's repeater system. I now wish that I had bought an HT1250 instead, since it has the 14-character display and 128 channels.

The photo shows that the model nameplate has been removed- I wonder why anyone would do that? Anyway, the nameplate is available as part # HLN9990A, for $3.86 from Motorola Parts. Please note that the nameplate for the non-DTMF HT750 is larger and has a different part number (HLN9961A) for $4.03.

If your radio has firmware earlier than R05.03.00, it may lack several capabilities for MDC1200/QC-II signaling, radio check, and battery test. Some HT750 models that were produced 15 to 24 months ago have a problem that is covered under the two-year warranty. Two of the first 12 HT750 radios I bought had this problem and were given new mainboards at no charge. If you e-mail me directly at [email protected] with your serial number and firmware version, I can advise you of your options.

My UHF 750 is a AAH25RDC9AA3AN
Version # R03.01.00. How much to update it? Also, what do you think about the Yellow Case Refurb Kit?

wb6fly · Post by **wb6fly** » Sun Feb 02, 2003 1:23 pm

The AAH... is the model number. The serial number will look something like 672TCS5217. The R03... firmware is old enough to warrant updating. A Motorola dealer can perform the upgrade in less than five minutes. The dealer can obtain the "Professional Radio R05.03.00 Upgrade Kit (51R07183A01R0900)" by downloading it from the Motorola Online site.
