Yep, using an O3 head on mine, and it works.

Yep, appears to work correctly.

Hey all,

hopefully someone will have the answer, I am looking for the part number for the Black front plastic on a Motorola wildcard box, the only part number I can find is for the plumb coloured front plastic, yet Motorola does sell Black Wildcard boxes.

Conundrum

Hey all, does anyone have the part number for the XTS2500i M3 Case, front escutcheon, and any other parts that would be needed for a recase? I can find the part number for the XTS2500 M3, and found the XTS2500i part number on the board, but upon searching in MOL for it, the part can't be found. Any ...

Nope, just trying to move existing channels, zones, and personalities around inside the codeplug.

Conundrum

Hi All, Having some issues with an XTS2500 and CPS 14. The XTS2500 has Q52 & Q53, so it has the stupid FPP restrictions, but the restrictions that Motorola lists VS what I see in CPS are different. I have a fairly big codeplug made up and need to move some Zones, Channels, and Personalities arou...

Yea, it looks like I would need the VRS750/Siren T Cable to hook them both up to the primary radio, after hooking a VRS-EP up to the secondary radio, it transmits the second radio opposed to the primary which is what I wanted. does anyone happen to know if there is a T cable for the VRS750/Siren to ...

Conundrum

I am just wondering if anyone has set one of these up in this configuration, or has the means to test it. The current setup is 2 Astro Spectras set up on one W9 head with HRR enabled, along with a motorola siren amp attached to the primary radio. I was wondering if anyone has set up a VRS750 on a se...

Conundrum

I was looking and all it seams you can assign the DEK buttons to are the siren controls, status, and message controls, I couldn't assign buttons that would usually be on the control head such as Site, Lock, delete, etc... to the DEK.

Conundrum

In the analog spectra, you could assign almost anything to the DEKs, in the Astro Spectra, are you still able to do this, or is it alot more limited?

Conundrum

Thanks for posting this information,

I was just looking for this a while ago, and couldn't find an answer, Just finished modding my W4 head.

Conundrum

I am not sure what the problem was, but after a full uninstall, and reinstall it appears to have fixed the problem.

Conundrum

I have an Astro Spectra, and when read with RSS 905, the codeplug is fine, but as soon as I read the codeplug with CPS 05.02.00, things don't show up right, for instance, the main thing is the trunking settings. Under the Trunking Systems, OBT control Channels, the TX and RX freqs change, and not on...

Long story short, I was watching The First 48 on A&E and one of the police forces had XTS3000s with super stubby antennas on them, that were just a bit higher than the channel knob, they looked like a stubby UHF antenna with the flat top plastic cap on the top on the antenna.

I'm ready to toss my Panter88 XTS5000 calbe in the garbage in favor of an OEM USB one. I've bricked one 2500 and one 5000 in the last month with it.

Hi All, Like a few of us on here, I purchased one of the VRS-EP units off eBay. I am having a problem with it now. After the VRS has been on for about 30 minutes with very little TX/RX, when transmitting it gets a loud buzzing/humming on it to the point where you can't hear the transmission, then af...

Conundrum

I had a similar problem, when the strobe pack was turned on it would reset the spectra, we had to install a Motorola power line filter which solved the problem, it also could be a dieing battery or too much power draw.

Conundrum

Actually, Electrosonic only has the Bussman fuse line, not their circuit breakers. I checked already... Looking specifically for the CB185-40. if they deal with Bussman, they can probably order it, also by checking on their site, the part is in their system, so they should be able to order it, but ...

Does anyone have a W9 VHF Range 2 whoreflash codeplug, or a W9 800MHz whoreflash codeplug they'd be willing to share?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Ps. Conundrum, FWIW, the list pricing on the single unit displays (as used by batdude, XMO, et all) is $95. Using this as a yardstick I'm guessing that the cost on the upgrade unit will be about $100, but that's pure speculation as well and it could be vastly different. Damn I hate MOL.... its show...

Conundrum

I can see end users buying the display add-on IF the cost was very low (ie: Under $20.00). I can guarantee that the price will probably be around the same price as actual charger, the list for the display modules alone is somewhere around $120, plus add on the R&D time plus the extra components...

The whole idea of a single unit impress charger is nice, but whats the point when you can't make use of a lot of features due to the fact you have no screen... why buy a one unit impress charger with no screen, when you can get gang chargers that will take screens for only a couple hundred more. If ...

I'm looking for the part number for the bracket for the W9 control head. I have tried searching but get a few diferent part numbers and I want to make sure I order the correct one.

Also, I am looking for the part numbers if anyone has them to mount a Wildcard box to a W9 head/bracket.

Thanks.

Conundrum

It depends on what you you mean by the trigger, if you mean the actual button on the radio then yes, you can usually program it for other options other than just acting as an emergency button, but if you mean the emergency option, then all it can do is send an emergency alert, which depending on the...

Conundrum

when programming up the radio you can set the personality (frequency/channel) to either Analog or Digital TX, but not both, but you can set the RX to either Analog, Digital, or Mixed-Mode receive So in other words, to be able to talk digital and analog on a frequency you would need instances of the ...

Just take your time.

Got it removed, used a heat gun and putty knife to remove it, then a razor blade to clean off the excess glue.

As far as I know, it can't be done. The A4/5/7/9 head use a different interconnect board than the A3 (HHCH) head.

Does anyone have tips on removing a window mounted antenna? I'm probably just going to take a heat gun to it and a razor blade, but on the inside its over window mounted antenna/defrost wires and I don't want to cut them, any tips would be great.

The VRS-EP is crystal controlled. You configure it VIA RSS or CPS for the Astro Spectra Via the codeplug for the astro spectra the VRS will be hooked up to.

I've been playing around with the VRS a bit more, and noticed there are a fair bit of options, but a lot of them are there but inaccessible, such as the In Car Monitoring Options... you can select in the programming weather you want Base or Both as a monitoring option, and below it, it has User Sele...

Conundrum

On the radio, check to what you have encryption on/off set to, usually it would be the rotary switch below the channel knob, and make sure its set to O instead of Ø, if it beeps when you try to transmit, it would be because encryption is turned on and no keys are in the radio so it "bonks"...

The 3000R Cases are made for pirates... but seriously, from what I've seen the 3000 and 3000R cases are interchangeable, the 3000R is the ruggedized case, and the 3000 is the regular case.

That is a Motorola Spectra NOR Radio, made by Motorola for The Ontario Provincial Police Radio System... as stated above, and in the linked threads

From my knowledge the W7 is just the W5 with a different front plastic and more buttons (to give access to the full DTMF number pad), the circuitry is from what I can recall identical.
