The latest MTSX software I ever saw was R06.07.00.

You might be able to use a previous version, but if the radio's been programmed with a recent version, you may get the "Codeplug too new" error with an older version.

Hope this helps.

Disclaimer: I'm still new to this, so please bear with me. I have a Spectra 800 that appears to be slightly off frequency. A friend of mine who looked at it said it appears to be about 12.5khz off, and it is his opinion that the RF board is to blame. Thoughts on what kind of condition could cause th...

Forgot to add a couple things: First off, since it's a QX model it's secure capable. Also, according to the literature at hand, it could possibly be a 68-84mhz radio, but from what I've heard, those were pretty rare, so I presume it's a low split UHF. As always, to be certian, you should read the ra...

Vertical off axis dims noticably after about 10 degrees.

Horizontal off axis is much better. I estimate that it started to dim after about 35-40 degrees off axis.

Keep in mind these are just quick eyeball measurements. I will know better when I actually get them mounted in the truck and tested.

Adam,

Sorry. Yes I was referring to the TIR3's.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.

I actually found a dealer in my area who had them for a reasonable price. The guy even demo'd them for me.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Them suckers are bright!

Note to self: do not stare into these things directly from 3' away. :D

eeyore1351, Thanks for the suggestions. I searched high and low, and the best price I could find on the single surface mount PredatorII modules was about $150. I could buy three TIR3 modules for that :/ I had considered the split advisor idea, but the main problem is that the total length remains un...

Well, we seem to have a consensus here... (sorry, Monty Python reference). I remember seeing a picture of just the unit, and I always thought that they were a little dinky, but after searching around and seeing some pictures of installs, man, them suckers are bright. Anybody on the board here sell t...

mikeh, I've considered mounting stuff outside the shell, but I'd rather not, mostly because this is my personal vehicle, and I use it for regular work, as well as for volunteer communications. Plus, it's just one less through-skin hole to drill. In short, I'd like to stay low key, and like to keep t...

After having about a billion and a half thoughts on what I could do about lighting on my truck, I figured I'd bounce it off y'all here and see what you'd recommend. First off, the requirements are simple. All I need is some rear facing amber lighting. I've considered and dismissed corner strobes and...

Larry,

I'm a little confused. Did you try and install your Whelen flasher in your Tacoma and it didn't work with the headlights? Was it wiring issues?

If I assume correctly that by DRL you mean daytime running lights, then no, I do not have these.

I've got a Toyota Tacoma with a 2 headlight system. So, based on your recommendation, it would seem any flasher slower than 2 fps would do.

AFAIK my truck's got a negative ground system, so I should be good to go there.

Anything else I need to take into consideration??

Looking to install a simple alternating wig-wag flasher in my truck. Doesn't need to be fancy. I'm looking at the Code 3 Model 700. Am I right in understanding that most basic wig wags just turn on one high beam and then the other? If that's the case then I'd presume installation would be fairly sim...

Short answer: Probably not. Long answer: The Saber IE's have a front shield simply because they needed it over a plain Saber I for the additional channels. Motorola used basically the same physical part as a Saber II 2k display shield, probably because it made more sense to do it that way than to cu...

Are you sure it's a NTN5715B? I can't find any reference to a NTN5715. MOL shows that NTN5714 and NTN5716 are iDen parts.

I'll preface this with the note that I'm a newbie to repeaters, so bear with me :) I've recently obsoleted a couple of my Icom commercial mobile radios, and I'm thinking of making a portable repeater out of them a la Haloncloud's portable repeater here: http://batboard.batlabs.com/viewtopic.php?t=38...

I wasn't aware that they even made CON7 SysSabers...

*whiz kerclunk beep beep bonk*

Upon further examination, it appears that yes, they do make CON7 syssabers. I was using an older version of the software.

So, uh, I guess I can. But I'm in NorCal.

Well, according to any documentation I can find, the Saber Porta Pocket chargers are supposed to be standard rate chargers, so in theory it'd charge a battery in 8-10 hours or something like that. I can't really imagine why they'd make an ultra portable charger that would take 4 days to charge a bat...

I've got one, and I don't know if mine's shot or not, but the darn thing's never worked. I've drained a known good battery with my trusty Maha charger, and thrown it in the pocket charger, and after 3 days it still indicated it was charging. Threw it back on the Maha and it told me there was in esse...

Hi Group, I am new to this site, I am hoping some one here can fix a couple of Sabers or one anyway both are Saber II 440-470. one has tx and rx programmed but it only receives. on the other one the display shows the annunciators like when first turned on ,but stay on and it won't tx or rx. Thanks ...

It depends. In theory they're just rubber or plastic and they slide straight up off of the keyed knob-top. Best advice is to get a reeeealy thin flat blade screwdriver or a knife tip, and gently prise up under the plastic of the knob, going around and a round until it starts to come up. I'm on vacat...

I've got a HLN1185B hooked up to a Syntor x9000. The PA works absolutely peachy with my Whelen 100w speaker, but whenever I try and activate any of the siren functions, the control head displays "SPKR SHORT" and the speaker just pops once and then goes silent. I've toned out the cable, and...

Are you sure you can build a default codeplug for a Systems Saber? I seem to recall that at least with my version or systems saber RSS, that wasn't possible. Yes, you can, but it's not immediately obvious. Some other RSS I've seen has this option in the read/write screen (usually F3). (Visualizing ...

I'm not sure what you mean. On the SysSaber you can select various PL, DPL, CSQ, or a combo thereof for each personality. You can also select up to 9 combinations for selectable PL (aka MPL) that you can apply radio wide on a temporary basis. I'm not aware of any limitation in either the Saber or th...

radiocat37, At least with the software I've used, when you program a SysSaber it will ask you if you want to use the tuning values from RSS or the tuning values in the radio. Other version of the software might work differently. On the other hand, I've always operated on the assumption that working ...

Outstanding! *runs off to order a couple sets*

Thanks for the info.

I've got a few of those nice 8ohm Motorola speakers that had their connectors clipped off, and I'm trying to find out what type of connector they have on them, so that I can crimp on new ones to interface with my x9000 cables. Does anybody have any idea what they're called, and if so, where I could ...

I've got two Spectra 800's. The first is a T45 with a v6.06 MLM. The second is a T35 with a v6.10 MLM. Is there any reason it'd be worth it trying to swap the MLM boards? (I use the T45 in my truck, so want the better featured firmware there). The only thing I really wish I had was RSSI capability, ...

I would imagine you could contact Icom or your local Icom dealer to get the necessary software and cabling. Icom's prices for their software are generally reasonable (unlike Motorola), and I've never had a problem purchasing software for any of my 4 different Icom radios. A little googling turned up...

Bruce, Yeah, pretty much what I figured. I've a guess that the D/R stands for Direct/Repeater, or some such. Too bad it would probably require lots of hackery, because it would be cool to have a mic that you could go into talkaround with without having to key the radio into T/A. Thanks for the info....

Yeah, that's what I thought too, except it's got the Syntor/Spectra style connector on it, not the Micor connector, and it doesn't look like a hack job. Also, to my knowledge, CHP never used Syntors. The radio it came with came from the eastern US.

With one of my Syntors I got a strange mic. It looks like a normal mic, but with a dual ptt switch/rocker. The connector is a standard Syntor/Spectra plug. The model number on the back is YMN1007A. The top of the ptt is labeled "D", and does nothing as far as I can tell. The bottom is labe...

Hello all, I have a A7 spectra with the enhanced control head (x9000 style connector on the back), and have a DEK hooked up to it. I've been told you can have keys that do direct mode entry (i.e. hit it and it goes directly to Mode X), but that choice does not seem to be available. Other things like...

Looking for the pinout on the Saber hirose surveillance adapter. I have been told this is also identical to the P50 accessory connector, but I have not been able to find any information on such. Any information would be appreciated.
