Ah yes. I remember buying some gear from Leavitt years ago. A very honest seller with hard to find gear.

Johnny Galaga

Got mine on a certain auction website of choice and it is supposed to be rechargeable. Get the one without probes/prongs on it. They get in the way when you try to slide it into the CP1250. Mine came with them and I had to slowly break 'em off which was a minor inconvenience.

Johnny Galaga

Broke out the golden torx screwdriver and opened 'er up (why does Motorola always seem to use torx screws??). Couldn't see any battery at first, but after some careful tinkering managed to find it. There's a little board and green gasket that you have to remove to get to the battery. The board plugs...

Johnny Galaga

Can Patrick Harrington see our PMs??? LOL.

Johnny Galaga

If I can switch out the AAA battery in less than 3 seconds then it's fine. Anything longer than that and it loses all it's pages and time settings. Is there a watch battery or something that needs replacing?

Johnny Galaga

God!

Why not just talk on 2m/440 analog. That would just make everything so much simpler.

Johnny Galaga

Pager Geek I'm glad you're posting on here again.

Johnny Galaga

Was it anything good?

Johnny Galaga

I just got an e-mail today saying someone posted something in this thread so I clicked on the link and all I get is a weird screen that says "You are not authorised to read this forum" (and yes, it was spelled authorised.) but the most recent post was last Spetember so could someone tell m...

Johnny Galaga

Oh, thanks.

Sorry I keep thinking about alpha pagers on here.

Johnny Galaga

I'm not sure I understand the question, but the capcode and pager frequency are two separate unrelated things.

Johnny Galaga

Your Advisor pager is probably for GOLAY paging (which uses 6-digit capcodes) but your 7-digit capcode is probably on a POCSAG or FLEX paging system (a different format), which means the pager won't work for you.

Johnny Galaga

But how do you know if eBay pagers have passwords? Even the sellers usually don't know.

Johnny Galaga

Unfortunately, I don't know. They didn't provide that info.

I got this e-mail from DATACAST in case anyone on here is interested: Thank you for your interest in DATACAST Information Services.

Johnny Galaga

Dammit. That's the answer I was afraid of.

Johnny Galaga

What's "a firmware refresh to Host >= R07.70.xx"? Is that a piece of hardware that physically gets installed into the radio? How do you do this firmware refresh? What do you have to hook up to the radio ?

Johnny Galaga

Actually, what I'm wondering is how do you reband it. In other words, the radio is old and I want to make it so that it will work on rebanded systems. Do I need a microchip or something installed in the radio? Will it require a flash upgrade from /\/\ OTOROLA ? Or can it simply be re-programmed with...

Johnny Galaga

From start to finish, exactly what do you have to do to an 800MHz XTS3000 to make it work after rebanding? Do you simply need a newer version of the programming software, or is there something else?

Thanks.

Johnny Galaga

Excellent post. This is reason # 1,598,733 to buy Apollo pagers.

Johnny Galaga

Yes! BatBlack is back!!

Johnny Galaga

How did you get all those radios to be bright green when It's a black and white picture?

Johnny Galaga

I don't see any Apollo stuff on that website.

Johnny Galaga

Look into Apollo pagers. You can search for 'em on this forum.

Johnny Galaga

What are "DID"'s and "MOU"'s ?

Johnny Galaga

That's how I got my Apollo pagers.

Do those 1 or 2 other things include batblack?

Johnny Galaga

My board Preferences still only lets me do either prosilver or subsilver2.

Johnny Galaga

Any ETA on batblack?

Johnny Galaga

Does all this mean that eventually we won't be able to listen to the cops and firefighters on the scanner?

Johnny Galaga

Why doesn't everyone just use 2-meter analog simplex?

What is "TRW" ?

Johnny Galaga

I don't know about the 929, but I've had the 990 & Asvisor Elites and I like the 990 way batter. The backlight is far better and the display size is slightly larger. The 990 is far better in my opinion, and yes, it is "FPP". If I remember correctly, the 929 uses a AAA battery but the 9...

Johnny Galaga

What a ripoff.

Johnny Galaga

So how do certain people get to be all on the inside? How do certain people get to be the first to have certain radios or information.

Johnny Galaga

Here's what I use and it works good:

Johnny Galaga

Those are excellent pics, but I'm a little confused.

You were talking to a friend and THE screen captures were done? Screen captures from where? Were you expecting them?

How did you get those photos ?

Johnny Galaga

I've read other threads on here that it's really hard to get Motorola to sell you the CPS. Is that still true with these new radios?

Does CPS use the same old RIB box as RSS, or is there some other way you're supposed to hook it up to the computer?

Johnny Galaga

Certainly. Look at this thread:

How hard will it be to get the software and programming equipment ?

Johnny Galaga

Apollo pagers do have software and a programming kit if you want it.

Some features like the backlight timeout can't be programmed by hand, you need the software.

Try calling them as I don't believe their online purchasing works right.

Johnny Galaga

So what are the pay and benefits ?

Johnny Galaga

Yeah the hand programming password is also enterred by hand. :lol: I don't like how the XP's only use AAA's. My 990 has 8 capcodes, even though the website only advertises 6. I'm surprised more public safety agencies don't use Apollos. So can someone explain me what "frames" are ? And what...

Johnny Galaga

You know, I've never understood what that whole stupid frame thing is about. What is a "frame" and how come some pagers only let you program certain pairs of capcodes ?

Johnny Galaga

What is "TRBO" and "RAND" ?
