Hey Guys, I am going to install an AC Inlet plug on my personal vehicle so I don't have a male edison cord hanging out from the hood, or under the front bumper. It just powers a battery charger for now, however it may power a Block Heater in the future, but that may be long off. What do people use? ...

Hey guys, I am a bit confused as to decoding the model number of this XTL2500, it is listed as M1UM9PW1AN

Am I reading this correctly that it is a 806 to 870 MHz bandsplit?

EOppegaard

So for those of you with the freelinc, what "compatibility issues" do you have with the XTS Series Radios? For those of you with both, which do you find better? The Moto one does look sleeker, however the freelinc looks a bit more rugged. The main advantage I see though is the Moto one bei...

EOppegaard

Where is the radio grounded? Keep it close to the radio itself, on its own independent ground.

EOppegaard

Wow...nice!

EOppegaard

Really? Home Depot? okay...now I am a bit confused! What exactly am I looking for?

EOppegaard

Anyone know a source on where to pickup the faceplates and rails?

EOppegaard

I would prefer the control head not to spin after being "installed"

Hey guys. I have an 06 Ford Escape Hybrid with the lovely center console. Currently I removed part of the factory console and put a kenwood TK-880 in there, however I am really looking for some more space (I will post some pics later). I am looking to build a custom center console, type thing...yeah...

EOppegaard

This may be a bit off topic, however is the display easily replaced on the XTS3000's? I was poking around and found a few that the seller claims only the display is broken (I hope not much else) and could pick them up at a significant discount.

EOppegaard

With the Valcom units, all I need is the speaker, linear power supply, and output, correct?

if we are looking to eventually expand the system, which unit should we look at? http://valcom.com/linear.htm

EOppegaard

Can't you just use the...... oh wait, never mind. They haven't figured out how to make a hybrid Astro/Analog station alert yet. Yeah, thanks... Currently the Uniden 996T scanner is hooked up to a computer that records the output, as well as the front speaker is still enabled. It has both a record, ...

EOppegaard

Anyone know of a good source for any of these items? Or what specific terms/requirements I should look out for?

It would just simply be driven from a Uniden Scanner.

EOppegaard

Greetings all! We are looking to add an external wall speaker that has a built in volume control to our digital scanner, so we can hear the unit in our crew room. Currently, we are only looking to add one speaker, so I was trying to shy away from using an amplifier and associated speakers. However I...

EOppegaard

They told me Plectron, which I let slide since I thought back to my alert reciever I use as a door chock. I imagine it is made by someone else. We are going to be operating on P25 conventional, not trunking. We will still have the ability to operate on conventional UHF in an alternate talkgroup. So ...

EOppegaard

just another example of wasted money Exactly I talked again with the board, and according to them they will discountinue use of analog, since "dispatch won't be able to do both" yeah...a crock Anyways they claim that plectron makes a digital capable upgrade of what we currently have and t...

EOppegaard

I don't have a lot of experience with P25, but I am skeptical that the DTMF tones will pass through the Analog to Digital to Analog process without too much distortion. This could effect the reliability of your system! WEC I may be a bit confused now...however here is what happening: Dispatch, Rigs...

EOppegaard

ohh no, they won't supply it...

Thats for sure.

I didn't even think that they would discountinue DTMF when they go Digital. The sad thing is when I brought up how we were going to be alerted at the station they were dumbfounded...and hadn't even thought of that.

EOppegaard

Okay so I am a bit stupid. All I need is a P25 Reciever, and it doesn't matter what DTMF Decoder I use correct?

I am still looking for an all in one package vs. something I would put together myself.

EOppegaard

makes sense. I need to crawl up into the attic where the old plectron is, and see what it is actually triggering the lights and horns.

Is there such thing as a P25 DTMF Decoder? I know they exist for analog...

EOppegaard

Okay, I just got off the phone with one of the guys down at the ambulance barn where I work at. Long story short, we are transitioning to P25 Digital. Not really sure why other than to spend $$$, however we are. I had brought up a while ago that our current station alert system, which sets off the h...

EOppegaard

Hey guys, looking for anyone who may have done this before or has any recommendations on things that would be nice to have now.

Anyone ever been in this boat before and have any ideas? I do have our entire current request in word form for anyone who is really interested.

EOppegaard

I have a Minitor 2 non-amp charger with the alert light on it. I just tapped into the alert LED power to drive a solid state relay. However then I would also still need a timed relay for this to work...and it would only work once, then have to be reset. Anyone know more about if I tap into a pin on...

EOppegaard

[quote="WB2IID"]"...Pin 6 on the pager/charger interface goes HIGH for the length of time the pager beeps, and seems like that could be used to drive a relay. [quote] So could I wire in a pin to the bottom of the drop in charger (non amplified) that would come in contact with pin 6 on...

EOppegaard

All of the amplified chargers have an alert light, which illuminates when the pager decodes a valid tone set. So the contact pin already exists, as does some type of circuit that turns the light on. I can't say for sure but I would guess that all you need to do is hook a wire up to the right point ...

EOppegaard

Hey guys. I have a bunch of Minitor II amplified chargers, however none of them have an accessory port on the back of them. Anyone know of another way to obtain a trigger out upon tone?

Thanks!

FYI I have one of these installed on my 06 Ford Escape Hybrid...really nice! It works well, takes about 30sec to heat it up hot enough to melt off all of the frost in one pass. The other feature that is nice is it expells some steam in the beginning of the heating process on purpose to clear out fro...

EOppegaard

Any Ideas on this? I think it has the same mirrors as a 06 ford escape anyways...

EOppegaard

That's the emergency response guide...good guide for places to make sure not to tap into! Just like other hybrid vehicles, most everything that is carrying HV is either marked, colored, or wrapped in bright orange loom. If you are just doing a simple radio install though, it should be simple enough ...

EOppegaard

You can easily tap into power by popping off the 120v inverter/12v plug. Within this void you will find a 12v tap that is ignition switched. There is also a grommet underneath the drivers side kick panel that you can run associated cabling through. Check out this thread on the FEH...a quick search w...

EOppegaard

Look around online...there are tons of pictures using this light...

EOppegaard

The rear Cabinet is just mounted in the back, there is one slider tray, however is rarely ever used. The Cencom controller was mounted by removing the dash trim bezel. It is mounted using a piece of right angle metal, and secured under the dash trim, behind the radio.

EOppegaard

Well Eric, I attended a training on Saturday where we went through a Hybrid Escape, and I can tell you for sure that there is a generator and that there isn't any invertor. Sorry to insult your trainingness...I know there is a generator in the car that recharges the HV battery when braking or idlin...

EOppegaard

I drive one, and everything that is a HV line is coated in orange wireloom. There is also a manual HV shut off in the Trunk, however the vechicle automatically disconnects the power if the intertia sensor is tripped. The car does have an inverter in it...not generator...and it is hooked up with a re...

EOppegaard

Ohh I agree we need a Paramedic Flycar. We used to have a dodge grand caravan AWD...which actually worked very well. I just don't agree with the "Hybrid" mentality with it. I think I have a bit of a right to say this too since I own a Escape Hybrid myself...I just get better mileage than 1...

EOppegaard

Ford Escape Hybrid Paramedic Chaser / Flycar. Yeah...I don't understand why they chose the Hybrid either. It gets around 13mpg because it is weighed down so much with equipment...however does look good for the service trying to be "green". Here are some pics of the installs...none of them ...

EOppegaard

Anyone know how well these perform? For the cost, I would be willing to shell out a few more bucks for a talon.

EOppegaard

Hey ERS, I have a 06 Ford Escape Hybrid with the same problem. I currently have a Kenwood TK-880 mounted to the passenger side of the floor shifter hump. It is thin enough not to bother the passenger, as well as still allows me to read the alpha display. I also have a Icom 2720 remote mounted under ...

EOppegaard

There was a unit out a few years back that used the vehicles engine cooling system to heat a small water tank that had the washer fluid running through it in a series of coils. It supposedly worked pretty good but relied on the engine being up to temp.. maybe something like this? http://cgi.ebay.co...

EOppegaard

I believe the unit is more of a "on demand" hot water system. Similar to what is found in hotels with the "hot water" tap. I didn't think that it steamed the water, I thought that it actually did heat it, and keep it in a liquid form. From the microheat website: HotShot produces ...

EOppegaard

Hey guys. Was watching TV today and saw an add for a new Buick that is being offered with a heated washer fluid system. I looked around online and found an aftermarket one called the "hotshot". Was wondering if anyone out there used a heated washer fluid system, and their thoughts on it. L...

EOppegaard

What type of cable are you using to run between the antenna mount and the radio?

There are tons of websites out there you could find on antenna theory, I would do a search on Google and see what you could dig up.

EOppegaard

Hey guys, I am trying to find out who makes this arrow stick, as well as if you know what controllers are compatable with it.

EOppegaard

Anyone know if there is a compatable unit for a mirror beam (aside from cutting and making one yourself) for a Ford escape? Toying with the idea of mirrorbeams on mine since the grille is a bit too small in order to place LED's behind.

EOppegaard

May I ask what exactly you do that you requre such warning power on a personal vehicle?

EOppegaard

Matt I have one from the subaru, I will take a look at it tomorrow and see if I can pull a number off of it.

EOppegaard

If I ran a system check through the "avionics cluster" it would come up, however if I was not using the highbeam, it would not illuminate....however we never left it on for an extended period of time. Would the flasher make the high beam indicator lamp come on? That may freak out the system.

EOppegaard

I also wanted to know if a conventional headlight flasher will work on this vehicle. I know NMfire10 will probably pipe in here about our testing of it. The vehicle uses a diagnostic system to determine if the headlights are out, and I am wondering if the flasher would make this system trip out. Tha...
