CQPSK is for simulcast trunking systems and I forget what WIDE is for. Use C4FM. The only place I'm aware of where 20kHz spacing is used domestically is in the 800 band. Maybe it's present in VHF/UHF radios for overseas systems? For public safety monitoring, you'll want to crank the spacing back to ...

What's RX sensitivity like? A M1225 will break squelch at about .19 microvolts with or without PL/DPL.

Well, the basic instructions, at least, are still correct. What's changed among the various CPS revisions is the offset locations of the tables. Once I got my brain wrapped around that, modding went just fine.

So in other words its an overly priced hunk of crap Overpriced, maybe.. but far from being a hunk of crap.

Or you could do it the hard-but-cheap way, and build your own from a junked Jedi speaker mic connector. The board doesn't have spaces for the keyloading pins, though, so you'll have to etch your own or do something :vestman: -grade with glue and pins or whatever. Building a Saber keyloading cable is...

and Dstar is ment for Ham, so it is legal. There. You just answered your own question. Most of the flak P25 gets stems from the fact that it was originally intended for the public safety sector. In that same vein, that's why you don't see super-widespread use of commercial gear by end-users, or why...

Also keep in mind that there is no ADP option for a regular Astro Spectra. It's only available on the Astro25 platform.

Ok thanks Josh :) BTW if I get the encryption modules, can I get these babies flashed for ADP/software encryption?? I read its a feature of Astro25 products, and a quick google search mentioned the Spectra Plus and ADP in the same context. Horse mouth information would be nice though. Remember, ADP...

Plus, the Big M seems pretty free and loose with firmware refreshes to Astro25 radios these days. If yours is unmolested and has a valid serial #, I'll bet one of us folks with MOL access could probably get a one-shot firmware update.

See the Paris, TX thread, that's where some of us are headed this year.

Ditto. April was the same ol' guys selling the same ol' crap, and not a lick of decent commercial gear. Even if Paris is equally sucktastic, it'll still be a nice change of scenery.

Don't you need a J-split radio to monitor that system anyway? That I do have, albeit in 50 watts.

I'm going to need a programming cable too, which I guess is a stock item from the various eBay sellers? High-power Spectra programming cables are so easy to make it's obscene. See here .

Hey, how hard is it to get a 45W ASTRO Spectra to do 25W without blasting spurious shit everywhere, overheating etc? I want a W4 or similar, but the license is only good for 25W. Align your low-power setting for 25W (if it's not there already, I forget what the factory setting is) and slave all of ...

Even NIB with all accessories included, they're still worth $300, tops. That guy is nuts.

Yes, T means trunkmount, and the L means 110 watts. The S instead of a P is throwing me off, though.. anyone got a clue what that stands for?

My friend from McKinney has expressed interest in going 'cause he's never been up to Paris. Neither have I.

Any of you other D/FW guys down?

First off, you can't get the whole 403-470 split out of a Spectra, be it analog or Astro. You can choose from: -403-433 (out-of-band hacking will get you a max of 438, if you're lucky) -438-470 (only available in 25W, usually configured for motorcycle use, and not real common, Scott's current batch ...

Good luck getting batteries for the T3011s. Those are a bitch to find. I bought a MX300 in the useless VHF high split for $5 at a hamfest several weeks ago, as a gamble that the attached battery would still hold some juice. It did. Oh, and you can still get MX batteries from Multiplier via Tessco. ...

Well, first off, you didn't mention which encryption algorithm you're using. They all have different keyloaders. I'll assume you're running some variant of DES, since that's what all the cool kids are using. Since you mentioned having Astro Sabers over on the Batlounge, you want a T3011DX. Fair pric...

Hmm, I would've thought that TETRA would win out over P25 in that part of the world.

Is the system up on Radioreference yet? Give us some specs and we can steer you in the right direction for monitoring, if you're so inclined.

motorola_otaku

Only other way I'm aware of to get a key into a radio without a KVL is with OTAR, and even then you'd still need a KVL to load the shadow key.
