Activity Stream

Update...I should know better that to ask a question when I get interrupted at work. On the Quantar, I suspect a microphonic VCO in the...

STP8X pinout, radio view top left 1, top right 2 and so on. 1 Sasi? 2 Mic-? 3 ? SPKR+? 4 ? SPKR-? 5 GND 6 Mic+? 7 GND? 8 ? 9 3,6V?

I think that depends on when it was manufactured. I have two "black" and one "grey" O5 here - all of them with the same part numbers and all. One I...

+ 1 for this guy. M5 head on a 6500.

Never had that particular problem, but I always run CPS on a laptop - my radio fleet is of the size that it's more advantageous for me to go to where...

There is no option code to omit a control head when building the order in ECat. IIRC the only item you can omit from a mobile is the antenna.

Meanwhile, friend of mine reported that he's experiencing similar problems on one PC with single display only.

Sorry, should've specified. This is on analog, not P25. My bad.

The AMBE codec generates the DTMF audio at the RX end. The actual 'digits" are sent as a data word in the codec stream. The issue is possibly the...

I haven't had the lockup issues with mine (that I've noticed at least), but the audio quality from these things is certainly mediocre at best (and...

This should depend on the date that the head was manufactured. Older grey O5 heads are not compatible with the APX series. Unless the M5 head was...

I'm running an APX8500 with a modded M5 head in my truck. No problems.

PDV currently operates a nationwide(ish) 900MHz connect plus system as a placeholder. https://www.pdvwireless.com/

Running that scheme right now. - Grant funding will get us 1/10th what we could get with any other options - Surplus/donated equipment has been...

Don't have an answer but this is a shame to hear since I was really thinking of picking up a couple MD682s and the bluetooth RSMs for some "easy"...

I always make sure the customer is aware of all of the options. Also make sure to explain and promote the concept of P25 being a major scam to...

The XTL5000 "lifecycle update" with the O5 head was limited to the 5000 only by the looks of it - and I never saw such an issue with the 2500s....

Even worse - you're telling me that radios sold in the 2000s were pretty much abandoned to Windows 98, XP... or even DOS. For example the CDM series....

I think Windows 10 users should avoid using Motorola radios. How dense and stupid can they be? There 100,000s of XTS/XTL subscribers, still...

Called it. I’m guessing they have some serious disposable income for lobbying... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No, carte blanche is applied only when using, "with all due respect".

I thought saying that was carte blanche...

I too once upon a time performed this mod. M5 control head on a XTL5000. All features and functions worked as with any standard O5 head. I'm curious...

I actually haven't tried custom colors but I don't see why it wouldn't work. The stock colors all work fine as well as dimming so I'd wager color...

I share your concern with anything hacked with firmware or software but this mod seems to be a simple hardware flip. Or a hardware swap if one orders...

Obvious post cautioning against using hacked/unapproved hardware in public safety applications. Also, if you can order an APX mobile without a...

I have successfully gone the 2500 M5 -> 5000 O5 route and can confirm that part works perfectly. It would stand to reason if that since O5 heads can...
