W2GLD · #1 (**permalink**) 07-13-2009, 03:11 PM

Hello all, I am doing some research for an upcoming project and need some assistance from the M/A-COM experts on the team here...

First off, does anyone have a compiled list of the option codes that are supported under the P7100IP series portable radios???

I have put together a list of the options that my limited research has shown me are compatible for this unit so far, but I am always open for ideas, comments, and suggestions as well. So if anyone has any futher input it would be appreciated.

My Confirmed P7100IP Options List:

01 Conventional Priority Scan
04 EDACS Group Scan
05 EDACS Priority Scan
06 EDACS ProScan/ProSound/Wide Area Scan
07 EDACS Dynamic ReGroup
08 EDACS Emergency
09 Type 99 Encode
10 Conventional Emergency
12 AEGIS Digital Voice
14 DES Encryption
16 EDACS/P25 Mobile Data
17 EDACS Status/Message
21 EDACS Security Key (ESK) / P25 Personality Lock
22 ProFile
23 Narrow Band
29 ProVoice Digital Voice
33 P25 Common Air Interface (CIA) - P25 Conventional
34 Direct Frequency Entry (FPP)
35 P25 Over-The-Air Rekeying (OTAR)
36 Personality Cloning
37 AES Encryption
38 TextLink
39 P25 Trunking

I addition, I am trying to see if the following options are supported under the P7100IP platform as well since I could not seem to find any information to confirm or deny these options.

My Unconfirmed Options List:

02 EDACS 3 Site System Scan
13 VGE Encryption
15 VGS Encryption
18 EDACS Test Unit (What is this anyway???)
28 Multi-Radio ProScan/ProSound (MURPS)
31 Smart Battery
32 FIPS 140-2

Finally, can anyone tell me what the preferred firmware/dsp flash is for this radio with features as listed in the confirmed list? This must also be one that is "Rebanded" and can still be programmed with "Programmer" software. Also, what is the highest revision that does NOT require the internet authentication process as well.

Thank you all for your comments and please also feel free to e-mail me directly off the board as well at: W2GLD@arrl.net

The only difference i see from your confirmed list to the manual is that 32 should be confirmed.

V18 of programmer does not require a key. V19 was the first to require it. R09B02 is the latest flash for version 18 of programmer for your P7100. Also older flash will work depending on useage

TEST UNIT refers to system equipment. There is a RANGR, ORION, and 7100 version of the test unit. They are used by the radio system to test each RF channel in a specified time and report any problems to the IEA, site sentry or whatever alarming system you have.
