    SL7550 Welcome Image

    I'm trying to create a new welcome image for an SL7550 and can't seem to get the color depth correct. CPS says the image should be 320x240 and 16 bit RG565 color but according to Irfanview RG565 is 24bit. There's nowhere in Irfanview to create 16 bit color. CPS keeps complaining about color...

    XTS3000 Programming vs Flashport cable

    OK, obviously not worth the effort, especially since the SRIBs are so expensive anyway if you can find them. Thanks for the advice. My XTS300 is just fine the way it. is...

    XTS3000 Programming vs Flashport cable

    Is there a different between a straight programming cable and one used for Flashport and firmware upgrades other than than say the round connector for testing? I have a RIB cable I use for programming my HT1000's, MT2000's and my XTS3000 and was wondering if that same cable can be used for...

    The 440 honor went to an Icom u4-AT. Still have that one too.

    HTX-202 Manual

    Enjoy. I rebuilt a bunch of battery packs about two years ago. My original AA pack is so old the plastic is getting weak so time to find another,,,

    HTX-202 Manual

    The HTX-202 still is one of the best sounding radios out there, both TX and RX audio is excellent.

    HTX-202 Manual

    There's a service manual out there if you look. You'll want to replace the memory backup battery though. Mine needed a new battery after about 30+ years. It's not too hard to replace and you can find the batteries online from ebay, etc. They're not specific to the HTX-202. Repeater-Builder has...

    222 MHz band radios and usage

    Glad I held on to my TH-31BT. Wife gave it to me as a birthday present over 30+ years ago. She bought it at the old Erickson's in Chicago back in the day. Rebuilt the battery packs last year. Still works. Won't sell it ever. Sits next to my IC-u4AT and IC-2AT that I bought new a couple of...

    Impres Battery Popup at radio power up

    In that situation I would agree. I was referring to users on a daily shift for example.

    Impres Battery Popup at radio power up

    If you're a business or commercial user you only turn the bradio on once or twice a day anyway so for them it's a minor thing.

    Impres Battery Popup at radio power up

    Can't say I don't disagree. The 6550 boot up is down right speedy compared to my 7550.

    Impres Battery Popup at radio power up

    When you turn the radio on and the boot sequence starts, it detects what accessories are attached. Impres batteries have a chip the radio uses to read things such as charge state, battery type, date first used, etc. It's part of the radio's boot process. I've never seen any way to disable that...

    MT2000 Alignment

    I know the repair you're referring to. These are the updated displays that Motorola used to replaced the bad ones. I can tell the displays were replaced. I know how to disassemble the MT2000 and the display/keyboard is different from what I sent him. They look newer.

    MT2000 Alignment

    BTW: Anyone done Multiple PL (MPL)? I have MPL options creeated, a personality with MPL enabled and a button set for MPL. When I pres the MPL button nothing happens. I'm wondering if the version of firmware on the radio doesn't support it?
