NX-5000 Series, Q&A, Info, and details

[kd4efm]

Getting off topic, but I read it, and no where does it mention mdc requirements.


As I mentioned it has been sent to KWD to be addressed. Fleetsync is another form of ANI/CID, not mandated. Plain English is always encouraged.

Back to radio stuff.

For the sake of others I'll keep it on track but I will reconsider Kenwood if their people have your attitude. Good day. I'm sure Harris or Motorola wouldnt mind public funds.

That was a little low blow there.
I pass things onto kenwood through my upper channels, as what Kenwood does, they don't ask me for
my opinions, nor am I paid by Kenwood. I am a Field Service Tech who works on all makes and models.
I personally use Kenwood because I got tired of the Motorola mentality of you're a ham, we don't care what you have to say, go away.

So, I'm biased, sure, but NFPA is what I have to adhere to when doing in building BDA's BPDA's, so rather Digital or Analog, I have to make it work and pass inspection.

I have to defend kd4efm. He has been a voice to Kenwood for many on these forums and a great help.

Evans KD4EFM is a great dealer for Kenwood radios and communicates with Kenwood "big dogs" regularly. He's no stranger to them. He may not work for them but he has dealt with them enough to know they are listening to input...

Not nice at all. I value KD4EFM's easily accessible support here. I don't know if you can find similar options for Harris products, but I have never found similar support for my Motorola products, this is from the perspective of a paying ham customer....

I had a few hundred Motorola radios on a trunked system plus VHF systems.

Never, ever, not once got the level of support I did when I switched to Kenwood.

Hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars with Motorola, very hard to get good support. Usually just got excuses.

Folks, let's get back to talking about the NX-5000 series. If you'd like to talk about Kenwood support, maybe starting a new thread would be a good idea.

Still working on my DMR programming for my 5800.

I've got group calls working via menu selection, but is there a way to keep the selected group call for future PTT presses as well? After I initiate a group call the radio defaults back to whatever it was set to originally.

At this time , short answer is no.

The only optional thing to do program that channel in to a channel. I wish it was as easy as the hytera, but no. Design that's needs to be fixed imo

Version 2.60 firmware has been released, but unsure about paired FPU. Anyway, what's new in this release?

 

[BearcatUSA]

And are there any rumors about the introduction of the RC4 in P25? Half of our customers do not buy NX5000 due to lack of compatibility with Motorola ADP. Not all of them ready for AES and not ready to give up Motorola equipment.

Kpg-d1n v2.60

I just learned that version 2.60 has been made available. Does anyone know what has been updated or if there is an accompanying firmware update for the 5000 series.

Will the 5000 fan club be updated when the files and doc's is made available. P25 user but it seams most of the updates are DMR?

Your post that I am reply to is the only one I see that you just made. I did get the f/w update info, but nothing on the programming software update. My guess is that it just supports the new firmware.

The software did get updated to support the new firmware additions. Other than that, the next major will be a 3.x
2.6 is a minor update.

For the past couple of days I have been dealing with Evans KD4EFM in getting a NX-5700 & NX-5800 package. While this is quite an expensive endeavor, I figure I won't need new radios for years to come! So far Evans has been a joy to work with. He's been easy to communicate with and to figure things out. I took the recommendation of several people on this thread to make my purchase through Evans, and I'm glad I did, I can recommend Evans to anyone else who is thinking of purchasing a Kenwood 5700 and/or 5800.

NOW the real truth begins, once I get the software and the radios and begin to try to program everything in correctly! I have a good feeling Evans will be attentive in the customer/tech support area as well.

Awesome Wat! Are you doing a dual deck, single head type setup? That'd be what I'd want but, yes, it is a steep price (quality costs, though).

Yes, Evans is a great dealer - I talked with him in the past about getting a similar setup and just couldn't swing it at the time but he was quick to respond and never complained about a question.

 

[kd4efm]

Got to say thank you guys.
It's my pleasure helping all of you.

I going to bend a small no no, but I have a 5800k2 dash mount mobile needing a home.
