Yes, the "two way"switch is also known as the concentric switch which is under the channel selector knob as mentioned by N4KVE above. I haven't had the MTSX RSS software opened in a few months, but if I recall correctly, the PL/DPL tone boxes are just to the righthand side of the frequency...

I'd recommend this forum for help and suggestions with anything computer or network related >>> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/wlan .

There are guys over there who will go out of their way to offer solid, professional assistance.

I don't think Motorola ever released a PDF version of the MT2000 users manual, at least I've never been able to locate one. The paper/hardcopy users manual is still available from MOL, or a Motorola dealer, and lists for $22.31 plus any tax or postage that may apply.

Well, MTSX R06.00.00 will be fine as long as the radio hasn't already been programmed with MTSX R06.07.00 or R06.08.00. R06.00.00 is old and MTSX R06.07.00 has been out for about 8 or 9 years already, so there's a good possibility that a later software revision may have already been used to program ...

I had the same issue a while back. Re-insert the CD into the drive as if you were going to install the program from scratch. Since the program is already on the computer you should get an option box on the screen to either "install" or "repair" the current installation. Select &q...

Hey all, I have a radio sitting here a friend sent over for a new C/P. Before I brick his radio I just want to make sure it's not one of the tool-proof ones.

All genuine OEM Motorola antennas I've ever seen for the high tier radios have "Motorola" VHF/UHF/800/900 molded into the lower end of the rubberized covering of the antenna. Even antennas for the lower tier stuff usually has the "/\/\" emblem embedded in the rubber. I've NEVER s...

A friend of mine recently acquired an MTX838 and MTX8000, both in the 800 MHz band. I am looking for any info on these radios that I can get. He asked me to see if I could program them, but I haven't been able to find the software on MOL. Do they use the same RSS as another Jedi portable? Any help ...

Seems the Jedi to BNC antenna adaptors are fairly easily available. What about an adaptor to use an SMA antenna on a Jedi?

There is one major issue with W7 that effects drivers. XP Pro and Vista allow you to install a driver even though it is not digitally signed by Microsoft. You get a warning window but you can still install. W7 will not install a driver unless it is signed. W7 gives you no override options that I kn...

Nope, not rx only. The thing that gets me is that if it was tx inhibited on those channels it should bleep on attempt to key up, and it does not. Simply does not do anything on those channels. My misunderstanding. I thought you WERE getting the "bonk" tone when pressing PTT. Freqs tried t...

Terry_Glover

Are you sure you didn't inadvertantly select "RX Only" for those two channels you tried to re-program? If you do that you can only program a receive freq and the "TX Freq" field will be greyed out in the RSS, thus you're unable to write a TX frequency for that channel. The radio ...

I'm surprised about it having type 95 certification, but it really does. I guess it's because back in the day, when the MSF5000 was contemporay, GMRS was a completely different animal than it is today. Anyway, it's good to know.

That p/n seems familiar to being fairly common 10-15 years ago. If you can find a catalog for older IDEN related Motorola equipment I think you may find your answer.

R06.00.00 is pretty old. Your MTS2000 VHF has probably been programmed with much newer software than that since it's got V6.8 firmware.

Only options are to have it programmed at a Motorola dealer or buy new s/w version.

Terry_Glover

Hello I have a VHF MTS2000 with the front display and full key pad. Every time I try to read the radio it says the radio was programmed with a newer software or some thing. When I bought the radio I was told it was Model # HO1KDH9PW1BN, FLASH CODE 000001-000000-9 and FIRMWARE VERSION IS R06.8*. Any...

Terry_Glover

Mike, you need to select the proper COM port (1-4) in the RSS computer configuration menu, then "SAVE" the new setting (usually F8), then close the RSS and re-start it. The RSS should communicate with the radio after selecting the working COMM port and restarting the program. Have you sele...

David, Are you running the HT/JT/Visar RSS in pure DOS mode? If you're trying to run this software using any O/S newer than Windows98 ( INCLUDING Windows98 SE [/b]) and are using VM to emulate DOS you may encounter freaky little problems like this. Also, aftermarket cables, especially the ribless on...

A warning to all out there that Motorola has changed the standard HT1000/MT2000 NTN7143 NiCad battery to a NiMH battery. We have many customers that prefer a NiCad for various reasons and was caught off gaurd with this change (no warning). We have switched to an after market battery for those appli...

I'm with you on the Jedi's. They're still my favorites, including the HT1000s, JT1000s, MTS2000s & MT2000s. The full keypad models with OEM batteries (with the finger grip indentations on the rear corners) and a tall OEM wideband VHF antenna are the most handsome and macho looking. Every year or...

Terry_Glover

If memory serves me correctly the NTN1171A is strictly for NiCd batteries.

I still have a couple of those around here someplace with the paperwork. I'll see if I can locate the manual although it's really nothing more than a 1 page brochure.

Internal floppy drives are cheap and are not difficult at all to replace. Why not consider replacing the floppy drive in the laptop with a new/used one? It shouldn't cost you more than around $20.00 if you DIY.

...BTW do you know if there is any difference whether I run MS-DOS 6.22 or Free-DOS? That's a good question and I've wondered about that myself. I've noticed on the readme documents of several RSS programs that MSDOS 5.00 or 6.22 or higher is specified, so I've always assumed that only MS versions ...

According to the latest JEDI service manual, the PA for your NUD7070E board is (U105) P/N 5105625U03 (5-Watt PA).

I've had 3 Jedis that did the same thing. Re-seating the board connector fixed 2 of them, but it won't be so simple on the third one. It works perfectly, then the audio will go down next to nothing, then I whack it and it sounds OK and works perfectly again for a day or so. I know it is a minute sol...

I'll assume you have checked that your speaker and its connections are solid. If you're satisfied that the control flex and front cover flex are both aligned and firmly seated in their connectors, go on to check the board connector next. If the radio is dropped or banged hard enough it can come loos...

According to the MCS2000 model II & III user manual, the RSSI indicator is only viewable when the radio is programmed for a SmartZone trunking function called "Site Search"... Otherwise it's NOT [/b] an option and remains invisible. http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b225/wenter99/RSSI....

MTS2000's are strictly analog radios. There is absolutely no way to flash upgrade them to digital.

MOTOTrbo was first introduced in 2006. About three years ago is a fair statement... RedOrbit

Public Service = dog catcher, truant officer, health department and etc. Public Safety = Police or Fire.

I wasn't questioning the TRBO's suitability for PS use, I don't think anyone in this thread was, but just that it was initially marketed by Motorola toward professional applications rather than PS or government.

What brand and model cable modem are you using? Is it leased from your ISP or do you own it?

Are you by any chance using Comcast HSI ?

Thanks to both of you for confirming that. I've learned something today.

Possibly you may be able to read with with the older version, but I'm not sure if you can write to the radio with the older version, can you?
