XTS 5000 problem will not turn on

[FFPM571]

Something sounds funny..

Why would a department auction off a good radio that if it was a bad controller. XTS can be sent in for flat rate repair.

I see you are already selling it on Ebay.

I bought it from a department auction. So i dont see why they would stunn there own radio? So I also dont think that it is stolen.

It isn't uncommon for a department to stun their own radio. Quite often it is because someone has cloned that radio and is attempting to use the clone on the system. It could also be that someone attempted to program their own radio onto the system and happened to use the same Radio-ID of the radio in question. In either case, you'll have multiple radios with the same ID, and this can easily cause serious issues on the system (such as discussed in this thread http://forums.radioreference.com/mo...l-5000-consolette-channel-changes-itself.html).

The command console stun command is by Radio-ID so all radios with that ID are stunned, the legal and illegal ones alike. The normal process is for the legal radio to go back to the radio shop where it gets reset and assigned a new Radio-ID to correct the issues.

Astro25 7.0 Depot is running around out in the wild. Google it for a while and you should be able to find it somewhere.

How hard is it to do with the depot tool.
And along with that will the depot tool be able to talk to the radio. Cps will not talk to the radio.

and if I cant get the depot tool will any Moto dealer be able to do this?

Thanks

It is very simple to do so with depot you dont need any shop to do it if you have a depot

But if you say that a CPS is not talking with the radio i suspect this is not the case
a regular CPS talk to the radio and when you read it it say that the radio is inhibit and you have to taklk to the network administrator of the radio or use a depot to unlock it ....

correct I tryed to read the radio and just got a comm error like there was no radio attached to the cable.

If you can't read it its not inhibited (stunned). If you read an inhibited radio, the cps will read it and then tell you its inhibited.

 

[Wrench1]

Thats what I was wondering. I was trying to figure out how the radio would stop being able to talk to CPS if it was stunned but could talk to depot.

The Radio is being sold for parts/non working/repair because I have no battery and no charger to test it with. all is sold as is no returns no refunds.

Bull****.

Not true.

A stunned radio should be able to be read but how do you know he doesn't have a problem with reading the radio as well?

I'll bet the radio is stunned and there's a problem with his comm setup.

 

[Wrench1]

I can comm with other radios I did an mts2000 a few min ago with no problem and then tried the xts with no comm so unless my cps of the xts is bad I would feel safe to say i have no comm problems with the computer.

Not true.

[mikewazowski]

Not necessarily.

One needs a rib, a serial port (or 3rd party ribless cable) and a simple cable and the other uses a ribless cable.

We don't even know if you're using a true Motorola XTS cable or some junk cable off of EBay.

Read another XTS5K successfully with your setup and we can rule it out.

 

[Wrench1]

I read a XTS3000 and made some changes to it about a week ago

 

[mikewazowski]

Once again, completely different setup unless you're telling us you're using the same cable to read the 5K as you used for the MTS and 3K?

 

[Wrench1]

I am just saying that my computer does not show any sings of comm problems and my cable is new. If I had ten cables and ten computers I would have tryed to use them. but I only have computer and one xts 5000 cable.

Once again, completely different setup unless you're telling us you're using the same cable to read the 5K as you used for the MTS and 3K?

 

[mikewazowski]

What is the exact setup, what type of cable and where did you get it from?

 

[Wrench1]

CPS is R15.00.00 and I dont remember the part number for the cable

 

[TheFantom]

Just to make sure you know... the Jedi cable for the MTS2000 is different than the XTS cable, even though they look identical...

 

[Wrench1]

I know the cables are different. I will have to see if a buddy of mine has a XTS 5000 cable that I can try and see what happens with his cable

 

[Batwings21]

True, your right he could have a comm failure also. I should have said a stunning or inhibiting a radio will not prevent it from being read, but would exhibit those symptoms. So he may have multiple issues.
