Yeah, I know what you're saying. Well I'm glad someone else has told you the same thing I am...at least I know I'm not loosing it :D Yes, for clarification, the radio is programmed with coverage type as SmartZone. First shot is an XTS3000 800MHz Model III. Second is an Astro Saber VHF Model III. I d...

To add to this. One other advantage of Smartzone over AMSS. When you loose the control channel on AMSS, it will just continue to search in order of control channel according to what you have programming in. This doesn't always result in the best site. However, with Smartzone, you get to take advanta...

Well I'd sure as hell love to know why my radios (and those of some friends) don't have a single issue doing RX on SmartZone without affiliating. The nice thing about SmartZone over AMSS is first of all, Site Lock works properly on SmartZone, but not so great on AMSS. Also, AMSS doesn't give you an ...

I have 07.22.01 and I can assure you more than anything that an 800MHz Astro Saber (and an 800MHz XTS3000) programmed for Smartzone with TX Inhibit turned on WILL RX without issue. This is with Omnilink disabled. I've never tried with it enabled. I wish there was some way I could show you that it wo...

Great topic - thanks for starting it r0f - there's way too much mis-information floating around with regards to ASTRO and what not. Here's my observations which are in no way scientific. I use IMBE (with and without encryption) to talk to a couple of friends around here. When I first got an ASTRO ra...

That's also very true. I can tolerate a lot of things...rain, idiot drivers, etc... but I HATE HATE HATE being stuck in traffic. If I were to drive to Rochester, I'd probably leave Toronto around 4:30-5:00am to beat the traffic...the ferry doesn't leave that early unfortunatly. I was driving around ...

Actually, I just checked. According to http://www.torontoharbour.com/toronto-rochester-ferry/fares.php... It's $54.00 for the car, plus $27.00 for each occupant (driver included), one way. Figure two people and a car, that's $108.00 each way, or $216.00. Rochester is about 300km from Toronto. Figure...

Last I checked, the ferry was $45 for just the vehicle, plus $25 for each occupant (including the driver). This is one way. It says it takes about an hour and a half, plus half an hour on each side for customs, loading/unloading, etc... Figure it's about a 3 hour drive...I honestly don't see how the...

...less jammers That is, until, cheap P25 radios hit the market. I remember back when Trunking was just becoming popular, nobody had trunking radios because they were so cheap. Now some 10 years later (maybe more?) you can buy trunking radios on ebay for 50 dollars. Heck, I picked up two 800MHz tru...

Well, I just woke up so this isn't going to be the best explaination ever, but hopefully it'll help. ASTRO = The name of Motorola's digital offering. The original version of ASTRO was a technology called VSELP (Vector-Sum Excited Linear Prediction). This technology isn't used that much anymore. As a...
