Anyone on this? Have someone interested in the radio, but they'd like the PTT fixed.

Can you buy just the PTT cover?

How hard is it to fix the external button? The large black oval on one radio I have 'flaps' from the back forward. I have it taped down now so it doesn't flop open, get caught on something, and rip off completely. But, want to repair it correctly. Can one buy just the button 'cover'? The button othe...

Funny story, vollie group I'm in, I've inherited the job of "radio guy" after the previous tech quit to join up a competing vollie group (that's a whole long dramatic soap opera). Anywho, I had updated all the channel line ups after he left after the admin board decided on the change. But,...

OK, wierd.... Did some troubleshooting. Rehooked everything up and tried the DEK. Works. Reuploaded the codeplug eliminating the DEK and hainvg the siren functions on the W9 panel. Works. :roll: Oh well, that problem's fixed. Now, the no audio to the interior speaker.... will talk to the original pr...

rwo978

Just to make sure it was none of the sys9000 parts that are the problem, I tested all on an existing/working setup. The amp, cable, DEK, and DEK interface cable all work.

Are there certain Spectras that can't have this added? (IE, not in firmware/flash code?) Or are all setup for it.

Radio is not installed right now, will be going into our command trailer. But, I want to get the siren programmed up before installing. Currently using a DC power supply in the house (like for a base radio). The radio red main, org, green, and siren red all go to pos, the radio black and siren black...

Does it say "ASTRO" on the label?

Yes, says Astro on the lable too. And, if I have to use the DEK, I have the cable to connect to the W9.

rwo978

Thread revival.... I have this exact same quesiton, but already have the parts and am having a hard time getting the unit going in the programming. I've wrote to the radio, but can't get any reaction from the siren amp. A DEK came with the unit as well, but I'd like to use the W9 head if possible to...

rwo978

I had one of these. It came with no stickers/markings what-so-ever.

rwo978

I'm sure it's a no name. Any dealer that sells the same KO bar should be able to get parts. Maybe check around eBay??

rwo978

Sorry, would be a VHF amp. Thanks for the tips/info. Keep it coming. Trying to decide what to buy.

rwo978

I've got very limited knowledge of Moto.... so looking for some answers. The XTVA works with a 3000 or 5000, correct? Do all XTVAs work with all 3000s or 5000s ... save the 3000 M1, which I read won't work... display only? Is there any programming involved of the XTVA to get all the funtions of the ...

Had a similar problem with a Liberty and UHF radio. Grounded the top of the frame to the bottom and the problem went away.

rwo978

Fro a basic setup, you need the control head, the amp, the phone style cord to connect the control to the amp, and the 12 pin white plug. The 12 pin incdues wires like and ignition power wire and ground to turn the amp on, speaker wires, and wiring for additional functions like siren park kill, horn...

Before buying my Yukon 3 years ago, I had a leased Ranger. I bought the extra "damage insurance" or whatever it's called because I knew I was going to be modifying. It only cost me a couple hundo. When it came time for turn in, no one said squat about the couple holes in the dash, above th...

Is there a way to externally program the siren head that is separate of the radio head? Or does it have to be hooked up to a computer?

I'd like to mess around with the manual tonight at work and try to get it to a true, momentary manual. However, obviously, I don't have the programming computer...

rwo978

Figured as much.

Install joint just put a VisionHawk in a new car 2 weeks ago.......... and it hasn't worked since they put it in. And, the car came back with the HAWS not working.

rwo978

Depending on the type of setup you have, you can get by with 2 "remote" mount control heads, one for your radio (Spectra, Kenwood 30 or 90 series...) and one head for you lights/siren/arrow (Smart Siren, CenCom, RLS, HHS2100...). There are options out there. The thing with the Spectra radi...

I'll sacrifice something I rarely use (PA) for more functions of another model.

The one time I had to use the PA of a Sys9000 for a Felony stop, the dumb thing wouldn't stop squealling no matter how much I turned it down......... I ended up throwing the mic on the seat and yelling.

rwo978

We have the sys9000 in our squads. I personally don't care for them. Tones sound okay,not great though. But, they need to get with the present. Get rid of Hi/lo and replace it with piercer/phazer/whatever and update some of the other functions. I don't like that the manual is basically worthless oth...

If you need something visible but cheap, go with the Firebeam. Probably the best rotating dashlight available. Bright, multiple speeds, 7 flash mirror. It should work for what you need. Any LED light is going to be more expensive, obviously. However, I recommend the Lighting-X MicroMax and MicroMax ...

Anyone know where you can get the swivel that clips onto he back of the battery for the XTS series? I use a XTS5000 for work. A buddy of mine who's more into radios than I said they exist, but I don't know where to start without a part number. Looking for contact and prices.

I know they make dual band antennas.......... but, do they make anything for commercial bands and do they make anything that would work in my situation? Have a dual band radio setup, one control head, two separate deck (UHF and VHF). Both decks have their own power cords and own antenna connections....

rwo978

You can make any lightbar quick disconnect with the aid of trailer plugs. Just don't run any more than 2 lights/rotators per wire, so you'll need a few plugs if you get the whole pimped out she-bang. I have an LP6000 that I've basically re-built from the frame up, just needs new domes now. And I've ...

Looks like someone else is selling the cheap China stuff, unless StrobeLightKing changed his selling ID. Save your money for the real deal.

So the LX4 by Lighting X is okay? Is the output fairly comparable to the TIR3? I'm trying to update my LED package from the GEN1 Sho-me LED-by-inch, but don't have mucho bucks to spend.

I knew there aren't really supposed to be links posted, but saw this and couldn't resist. They were probably used by some mom and pop company that nobody wouldn't want to listen to anyways.

What are the splits for high V? Need 155.xxx area. Darn that you can't tell from the #.

They're not bad, but they're no TIR or Talon. For someone on a budget, like myself, they do the trick. And, they're pretty versitile. I think what takes away from them on my rig is the privacy tint in the back and sides, cuz the Slimlighter (same deal, different package) up front does great. I've th...

Streamlight Strion......... That's the new little Streamlight. I've got one, had it for several months. Nearly as bright as the Stinger, but in a much more compact package.

Can one, or I should say, is one, able to use a cord for a Spectra radio/mic and install it onto another Motorola mic head, say a Mitrek or Syntor. Would the wire and terminals line up? Is the same mic head and guts used with different cords/plugs for different radios and different model numbers? Ba...

Thanks for all the responses. Guess I'll have some shopping around to do to find the right tool for the job. Don't want a hack job either, so we'll see what happens.

Got an 80K in my truck right now with a homemade switch panel (Radio Shack stuff). Hardest part was making the 10+ ft wiring harness to go from the switches to the amp, under the seat.
