    F80DT PLL Lock Issue

    OK, I have a new F80 with the proper split. However, even though it has the P25 board (I checked), P25 doesn't work, and no mention of the P25 board is shown when I hold P0/P3 at powerup for version info. Is there something I need to do differently with this to make it work? (It always just...

    F80DT PLL Lock Issue

    I'm not going to try it, as it looks like, reading the service manual, that it'd be really easy to bollocks it all up. I just bought a 403-470 split on ebay for $200... I haven't decided whether to hang onto the other one or not... it's good for our government freqs and 70cm, so I might just...

    F80DT PLL Lock Issue

    Since I bought it from the government, that makes sense... :-| I've got the tools (SM, scope, meters, etc.), but moving the range 20MHz does sound like a bit of a stretch... For the hell of it, is there an alignment document available? (I've got the adjustment software, but I've never used it)

    F80DT PLL Lock Issue

    Yup. I got down to 374 before it unlocked again... What is this 380-450 split? I can't find any info on it... (I assume it's not something I can undo, either...)

    F80DT PLL Lock Issue

    I've got an F80DT that I bought from the VA (where I still work, so I still use it for that) that seems to have an issue locking up at higher frequencies. Both of our repeaters are around 408MHz, so the radio is obviously a 400-470 split radio, but it won't lock up above about 452MHz... This is...

    KVL4000 Key Retention Question

    I'm finishing up keyloading all of our APX7000 radios... first time using a KVL4000... Question for those that have done this more than once... Can I leave the KVL unpowered and not lose the keys I have created? One person told me that the keys will be lost if it isn't powered, and one says...

    Buffalo Police Hum on signal

    I might suggest an audio isolation transformer between the radio and the computer (ground loop isolator). Both of my feeds have one due to horrible hum without them.

    MOSWIN Troop F Scanner Problem

    For those who listen to the MOSWIN Troop F feed, I have received several reports of bad audio lately. I have isolated the problem as a bad front-end on the scanner itself (it's used, and wasn't taken care of by its' previous owner). I have bumped the audio levels on the PC to try to compensae...

    Ferguson Mo

    IDK if Ferguson PD's feed is delayed, but MSHP Troop C on MOSWIN isn't. Broadcastify feed is about 40 seconds behind it. I can't copy Ferguson PD well enough to make anything out (it's way down in the noise)

    MU TRS no longer scanning

    That is the correct system. The frequences haven't changed between what's listed here and what's programmed into the radios... (I just double checked to make sure...)

    MU TRS no longer scanning

    Does anyone have any ideas as to why all 3 of my scanners (uniden BC780XLT, BC346XT, and BC996XT) have lost the ability to scan Mizzou's TRS? I can hear the trunk data on the control channel, but the radios don't seem to be locking on to it. This started within the past week or so. I assume...

    Zetron Model 10 Help Needed

    Got it. I'll tell the folks at work that if they really want this old encoder to work, they'll have to re-reed some minitor II's... (God knows what that would cost...) Friggin' government... try to use old crap, then ***** when it doesn't work (maybe that was why it was taken out of service in...

    Zetron Model 10 Help Needed

    unless I'm missing something, i can't find the manual for it. Nothing's wrong with it, I just want to know how to program it for different code groups (the two DIP switch banks)

    Zetron Model 10 Help Needed

    Mods, feel free to move this if I'm in the wrong place. We have an old Zetron Model 10 encoder that we're trying to get to work again. Does anyone happen to have a book for this thing? (we can't find it) I can get it to tone out single tone pairs (I think it's set for a standard 100 call...

    Pro-508 Help

    Does anyone know what the test points in the Pro-508 are for? I'm looking for a discriminator tap and whatever else might be available on this radio. ($10 bucks, couldn't pass it up)
