I am running into an issue I have never ran into before, I have 2 XTS5000s running some really old firmware R02.20.02 & R02.20.00 DSP. When I try to update the FW to R20.xx.xx I get an error "unable to create instance of Encaten Component" i assume this is because of the really old fw ...

is this an MTR3000 or a MTR3000 upgrade from a MTR2000?

Rod Farva

also when working with simulcast, your reference is critical and thus the reason for an external 10MHz or 5MHz reference. For a simulcast to operate correctly your ideal freq error should be no more then plus or minus 2Hz yes thats right +/- 2Hz This way all sites that can be heard by the subscriber...

Each Bim has 4wire capablity as mentioned but also has logging, each slot in the card cage has a specific row on the punch block, there is a punch block road map in the centracom CEB manual. Each slot in the card cage will give you 3 rows on the punch block, 2w 4w and logging...

The old furniture is made out of metal and wood, the wood of course is the tabletop. The consoles did come with a corner wedge because I used to have to haul the old furniture away about 10 years or so ago when the gold elite started being installed and comcens started using adjustable workstations....

So this is a flash upgrade you have to order with a dongle if you want to add another form of encryption other then ADP?

Rod Farva

on another note, check to see if the leased lines are 10db conditioned lines. The ones I currently work on are conditioned so when i send a 0db signal with my tims I should see a minus 10 at the other end and if the lines are conditioned and balanced properly by the phone company you should see a pr...

I would Depot the radio ONLY if I could not fix it, the problem sounds like a simple repair to me....

The MSF has been configured for multi channel base station? What are you using to change channels with? The station is looking for function tones for different channels....

Rod Farva

Just to confirm that the quantar error log has been checked thru the serial connection on the station itself?

Rod Farva

check the battery contacts, one of the contacts senses the battery and the voltage, make sure that there is nothing messing with that contact, if you need another charger I have a pallet full of them....

Rod Farva

well for one the audio on the MCS2000 is a floating ground so any short can and will blow the audio IC. There is a 5v regulator that has known to have a cold solder joint on it, if this is the case the radio will not power up. Try reflowing solder on the 5v regulator and replace the IC for the audio...

The charger will flash the red light when the battery is bad...

Hey folks, I am programming a VHF XTS5000 with 12.00.13 firmware for a friend and I am trying to program multiple MDC, DTMF and Quick Call systems, when I go to the personality page and I create a new personality the MDC, DTMF and QCII all revert to system 1 even though I have created multiple MDC, ...

That is not entirely true! I have a high power MCS2000 that only goes down to 146.000

Use a 1000 degree soldering iron and the solder blob method, take a bunch of solder and make a big blob and move the blob around the area of the diode to heat up the board equally then you can reach the diode with a pair of forceps or needle nose pliers and off it will come, you must be quick to rem...

The AstroTac comparators are primarily for Astro 7x trunking systems, they will do conventional and analog but it is very difficult to get them to do it properly!

If you can take pictures I can confirm what you have, but with out running the numbers I assume you probably have the op position for a CC2+ CRT or gold elite. The RJ45s tell me that the one board is the CIE Main board. The pair of 1/4in phone plugs sounds like the headset jack, What makes me think ...

Rod Farva

all you need is to swap out the control flex and thats it. The control flex should come with the volume pot and channel selector

according to the engineering department, the 2 models I held were the only 2 manufactured, did the ones you saw have engineering prototype engraved on the front?

APX7000s will not be released to the sales people for demo until the 3rd quarter of 09 and full release is not expected till first quarter of 2010, there hopes however are to push the product out by end of 3rd quarter or beginning of 4th quarter of 09. I have held the only 2 radios that have been ma...

I have messed with a lot of Saber SI's The problem you experienced was a programming issue. All of the SI radios I bought had this same issue. Most of the time the cause of it was someone not using the right software to program it triggering off this issue. Now with your radio having 300 or so Mw wh...

check all modules to see if they are not seated correctly or you might have a bad solder joint on the main board...

well it looks like the seller who has no clue on radios as you can tell, he probably found parts in a box and assumed they all fit together. The gm300 aftermarket remote kit consists of a front housing with a DB25 connector on it for the radio and a rear housing for the control head with a DB25 conn...

Rod Farva

Are you positive? I had the same thing happen to me when I reprogrammed my radio and I up'd the firmware to ver 12 and I was able to recover it. I had to do a massive realignment though.

Rod Farva

You can try a firmware upgrade

Rod Farva

what will make it better is if you could set it up to have the AUX I/O set off a wave file that sounds like a missile being fired!!!!

Rod Farva

naw here is what you need!! This is in my front room!!! http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k182/rfarva/_MG_9926.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k182/rfarva/_MG_9920.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k182/rfarva/_MG_9922.jpg It was a post on the board that made me build this unit in my home!...

Rod Farva

what all do u have left?

Rod Farva

I have it handled now, they are turbo tomi's and I just did not select the right card in the rss

Rod Farva

Well you could buy a desktop CC2 op position and that will help get rid of the big stack of metal you no longer wish to use. If you have TOMIs you have a CC2+. There is RSS out there for the CC2 plus that will help you reconfigure your system. You will need a RS232 card to PC cable and the software..

If you have an impress battery on the XTS2500 you will see a batt indicator, however if you do not have not selected the batt item in the menu selection it will not display BATT on your display in the menu. If you do not have a battery indicator to the upper right of the display you are not using a ...

I am trying to perform a firmware upgrade for rebanding our radios, Most of the city has as far as mobiles have XTLs and those were a cinch. There are 5 radios that are Astro Spectras.

if the speaker leads get shorted out it will burn the audio IC instantly which sounds like what happend. It is easy to discover it because it has either a burn mark in the middle, a crack or a big chunk of the IC missing from the middle... Common problem with spectras. especially when the speakers h...

unless u have an "In House" RD-LAP data system you would have to use the customers system. Usually customers that have a RD-LAP mdt system usually have test logons for you to use. VRM 650/850 are RF modems so the have an address like a mac address that has to be entered into the system and...

Rod Farva

u want a VHF Spectra?

Rod Farva

check the audio amp, and see if it has a burn mark in the middle of it. If the speaker leads ever get shorted to ground it will pop that amp. The best way to check the amp is with a scope. Generate a signal into the radio and look for the 1k tone in the scope before the amp. If there is signal there...

I think they are UV. I have to use a shooter or something to that effect....

I am reconfiguring a CC2 Plus for a small department and it has been a while since I have programmed these units. I have the FPP software and the RS232 card. If I remember correctly you have to move a jumper on the TOMI card but I can not remember which one it was. I do not have the RSS book on me. ...

Rod Farva

Why not just update the CEB parts to Gold Elite? Mostly, what you need is a COIM module. Post your findings after you do, if you do. A COIM itself is not going to work, you need a CIE to go along with that plus you have to upgrade the firmware to match the existing cards plus the BIMS, AUX I/O card...

you not kidding on that! I had a few of those little sticky squares that you can run a small zip tie on, and I stickied the coax to the roof. The fun part was the headliner since it has vents for rear heating and AC....

What I did was route the coax between the airbag and the body of the vehicle, I ran my coax down the B Pillar and that seemed to work ok. Thanks for the input.

this topic looks like it should be moved, anyways, Systems 9000 is a remote head setup. the A, B,C E are designators such as (A) Conventional (B) Privacy Plus Trunking, (C) Smartnet Trunking and (E) Enhanced.

that is correct and if you have a Motorla SLA signed you can order
