Need to attach an external antenna to a Motorola APX 8000 portable. What type of connector is needed between the radio and the coax? SMF? The radio will be used indoors for a temporary gateway, need to run an external antenna outside for range and desensing. Mobile radio not an option. Thanks...

Ok, I'm not new to radios but am still learning the APX CPS. I had a CDM1550 that would decode MDC1200's and would show an Alias on the display if properly decoded; do the APX series do this, too? If so, where in the CPS is it?

Howdy folks. Another long time lurker, and first time poster -- a good sign if every one of my questions can be answered without needing to create threads! I have a rack of commercial equipment as the in-house nerd for my company, and am trying to integrate two radios into our simple MDC...

Hi, We have a couple of APX4500 Motorola mobiles and one of them is working fine, but the other doesn't seem to start up properly. During startup, there is no "APX 4500" banner and then the display is all white. The zone up/down look like they still work and I could get to a channel that would...

I have three APX6500Li Radios hooked up to a NCS-C250 Radio Switch. Two of the three radios transmit fine through the switch. The third radio has a delay when transmitting through the switch. The radio stores the transmission than transmits it out when the PTT button is released. It doesn't...

Hey guys! Has anybody had the chance to use a NNTN7687 or NNTN7687A yet? It's an adapter/converter that allows you to charge an APX7000 in a charger for an XTS5000... I know Motorola makes it I'm just wondering how it works and how well it charges, is there a difference between using the...

Hi - I'd like to get some help from the folks on this site. I'm trying to figure out a good way to compile a list of P25 systems that have chosen the Motorola APX XE radios as their portables. If anyone know of an existing list, please let me know! The specific portables that I'm interested...

I'm having trouble with my 4500. I recently had trouble talking into a repeater in an adjacent county. My transmission had come across as static. After being told i was unreadable, I used a different mobile and was able to talk into the same repeater just fine. After a little bit of think, I...

I have come across a problem where the NIFOG lists the code of 325 in the valid DCS codes list, but Motorola radios don't seem to allow it to be programmed into it. I am working on XTS and XTL series radios, but can confirm that the issue exists with APX series radios too. I am trying to...

I am researching the programming codeplug for our APX7000 portable radios for a concern we have. I have come across in the "Emergency Configuration" section, looking at "Trunking Emergency Profile"... there is an option called "Retry Counter". Does anyone know what this means? I have looked...

Does anyone know if the voice announcements can be switched on/off by the user? I can't find a menu item or way to program to allow the user to turn the voice announcements off that are loaded for the channels

Motorola just put on their website that they are caneling the XTS1500 and XTS2500. Here is the link to both. XTS 2500 Digital Portable Radio - Motorola Solutions USA. XTS® 1500 Digital Portable Radio - Motorola Solutions USA. Last order date is November 30,2014. I guess the whole XTS line...

Hi, Just finished programming my APX7000 radio. Setup 5 zones, and 2 scan lists. I programmed my top orange button to scan, however when I push it, it just beeps like an programmed key and does nothing. Also, if I try to add the scan menu items, it wont show up after writing to the radio. I...
