Looking for the expert on this one. Normal Tx and Rx frequency separation would either be 3 or 5 Mhz. The question is: Can the normal 3 cavity duplexer for a GR300 be tuned for about a 2 1/2 Mhz separation in frequencys?? Ex: Rx - 460.5125 Tx - 462.9375 Obvoiusly my other option if this doesn't work...

Can these pre-alert and post-alert delays be changed using the RSS or is that a firmware issue??

I would really like to get rid of that delay.

I am experiencing a strange issue. I have an MT1500 set up to transmit MDC emgergency on a fixed channel when the button is depressed. When I connect the lapel mic with Emergency button an un-wanted delay occurs. When you depress and release the emergency button on the lapel mic, you get no audiable...

I too would be interested in getting a hold of that template. If someone has it, I would appreciate a copy sent to hqchief@msn.com

Thanks

What do you mean canceled?? They don't sell quick mounts anymore??

FDC_100

Thank you, I actually found out that you can use Hyper terminal on your computer to view and modify the programming.

Does anyone know if the Zetron programming software is specifically licensed or is it share ware??
I was also looking for cable building info on the Zetron if anyone has....

Thanks

Anyone know of a way this can be done easily.....I don't believe the "SHIFT" function works anymore.

I have a mobile radio that looks like a maxtrac (square buttons) but the sticker on the front says Motorola Radius.
This radio won't interact with the Maxtrac or GM300 software.
Anyone know why?? Is this another model radio?

Does anyone know how much this rubber gasket retrofit kit and labor costs to have done professionally??
I guess at a MOT service center

FDC_100

Anyone know of a quick fix for an HT750 that keeps turning on and off when you squease the radio or shake the battery?? I cleaned the contacts both on the radio and on the battery. I even swapped out the battery and used another one. I can't figure out why it keeps turning off and on.

Does anyone know if there is an "Automatic Level Control" for the speaker output on an MCS2000 in relation to 12.5 and 20 spacing.

FDC_100

It sounds like you may be screwed. I had the same problem with a HT1250 (Same software). There must have been a power spike or drop during the codeplug transfer. I had to send mine back to Moto, and they turned it into a door stop. It's an expensive mistake.

FDC_100

Cut the lighter plug off and put a new one on.

FDC_100

Has anyone ever had a problem with the MCS200 where the radio doesn't "Un-mute"?? I can hear the transmission on another radio, but when I look down at the MCS, the activity light is on (yellow light), and nothing comes out of the speaker. This is an intermittant problem. Probably miss 1 i...

Just to answer everyone's questions, yes, it's an aftermarket "Alerting Module". Radio shack project box, with a timed relay, DIN connector, power supply and strobe. I spent a lot of time looking for a unit like this. I posted questions on this site, I searched the web, and even called Mot...

Is the dispatchers radio in scan? This could also be the reason for not receiving the MDC. It doesn't drop out of scan fast enough to receive the MDC signal.

Has anyone heard of or seen an aftermarket programing cup for the minitor IV???

FDC_100

Thanks Jacob.....I found what I needed

FDC_100

Does anyone know where I could the 6 pin DIN connector that fits in to the back of a Motorola Minitor IV amplified charger? Doesn't seem like a very common item.......Radio shack, and local electronic stores don't carry DIN connectors anymore. Help

I don't want to beat a dead horse here, but just to confirm, the "TUNING SOFTWARE" is different from the regular "PROFESSIONAL RSS" programming software........Correct? I don't think I can make a squelch adjustment on a mobile (CDM1250) using the normal Professional RSS software.

FDC_100

RKG.....are you saying that since the codeing is set to CSQ, that raising the squelch will not solve my problem? Or will it help?

FDC_100

I have two CDM1250 Lowband programmed with 5 frequencies each and all the freqs are set to carrier. One of the radios is constantly locking up with static almost all the time. The other CDM, which is programmed with the same freqs does not have this problem. Is there an adjustment for sensitivity???...

I believe the shape of the pager case is different. Like a round peg in a square hole.

FDC_100

A corrupted codeplug will also do that

FDC_100

If you want the tone at the beginning of your transmission, you have to select "PRE" sidetone in your MDC options.

FDC_100

The HT1250 has an inherrant problem with the MDC decode ID on certain frequencies. I had the same problem, and after many hours of hair pulling cursing, I ended up just turning it off. There were a few others on this discussion board that had it happen to them as well. Apparently it's a firmware pro...

FDC_100

It's a little difficult to explain in writing, but I will try. For each frequency or (personality), you click on the scan tab, and choose which scan list you would like (scan 1, scan 2, etc.). Depending on which one you choose for this frequency is what dictates which scan list the radio goes into w...

FDC_100

It's not too hard. Each scan list gets assigned it's own name (ie Scan 1, Scan 2, Scan 3, etc.) As you said, each list will hold up to 16 personalities. If you had a channel called "Main" that you wanted in each scan list, just add it in as you create each scan list.

FDC_100

Just to confirm Monty's story, when I started out, I purchased one of those aftermarket RIB boxes. It worked for a little while, and then I ended up frying a brand new HT1250........quite an expensive mistake.

Factory RIB boxes and cables is the only way to go.

FDC_100

Thanks everyone......you gave me some new ideas to think about

FDC_100

Has anyone tried using a computer UPS as a battery backup for GR300 repeaters? I was looking for a cheap way to backup 2 GR300's for between 30 and 60 minutes.

The other thing I need help with is deciding what size unit to go with (I think it's measured in milliamps)

FDC_100

Just a shot in the dark......do you have the "MDC Receive" on? If so, try turning it off and listen again. I had a similar problem with my 1250, and turning the MDC off eliminated the problem........don't ask me why.

FDC_100

Does anyone know if Motorola or anyone else makes a plug and play relay for the Minitor 4? In the user manual it makes reference on how you can hook it up to activate a bell, or turn on a light (Either 110v or 12v). I have been looking for quite some time and asking around but with no results. Can a...

FDC_100

If you don't have the PL or DPL codes than you place the radio into "Carrier Squelch" mode. This is indicated by CSQ in the squelch code drop down menu. FYI - When you have a radio set to CSQ, you will receive all transmissions on that frequency, in addidion, the raidio won't block out any...

I purchased a basic RICK to use as part of a GR300 repeater. When I opened the RICK to look at the dip switches, I found a note that read "Modified for Syntor......removed VR2, VR4, and VR5. Looking at the wiring diagram these VR units are 7.5v diodes. In addition to removing these three diodes...

Anyone know where I could find some online manuals for Motorola radios?

I have a 36 - 42 Mhz Maxtrac that I used the "Shift" function to program 46.32 into. Is this too far out of the bandwith for the radio to work. I am using it as a "Receive Only" radio, but am not picking up anything. Does anyone know.....Am I missing something? Perhaps a re-align...
