Hey Guys, does anybody tried to virtualize Motorola Trunking Controller like Smartnet, CPX2000, MTC etc. ? The Controller is Sparc Hardware with Solaris 6. So virtualization could be possible with Qemu. However, I fail because of the network interface that a real controller has. Has anyone...

(1) what is the bare minimum for a smartnet system to operate? (2) what did a typical smartnet/smartzone/type 2 rack look like (device model numbers, what routers/computer/radios/specialized devices/ present?) (3) what/were any software components and what did they do? (often called "astro...

Hey All, Can anyone confirm that it seems the control channel for the Fairfax County SmartNet || system has changed to the 853.575 frequency. I live very close to the transmitter and can't seem to see the listed control channel. Also, even when I tune to this, I cannot get trunk recorder, or SDR...

Does anyone know the current unit numbering system for SSO (since they changed to SSO from SSD)?... I am an avid scanner and am wondering about the unit IDs or the unit numbering system. If you have info I thank you in advance.

Hello: Excuse the length of this message. Trying to get some advice. I volunteer (I am the tech guy) at a charter school for exceptional children. After a recent minor safety issue came up between a student and a staff member at the school, we have been searching for a better communications...

I've been asking a few questions here over the past few months as I've been trying to understand and evaluate trunked mobile systems. One neat thing is that I've been able to play with a few Aeroflex test sets and motorola handsets with CPS software. Generally I have to get the settings to match...

I am wondering if anyone out there has been successful in crossbanding a couple of talk groups from Smartnet to Mototrbo Connectplus or visa versa? Your info/any information would be very very helpful!! I am currently using 2 XPR4580 radios one in Smartnet mode and one in Connectplus mode...

I'm brand new to this world of trunked mobile so please bear with me. I've been trying to read all I can on Smartnet and trunked radio in general. Smartnet is particularly frustrating as it seems to be reverse engineered but I can't find a single good reference on some of the design, it's...

I am looking for some advice.... We currently use a Motorola Smartnet II trunked 800MHz system. Our local Motorola Techs claim the site controller will no longer be produced by Motorola and we will need to replace the system with something different. I have sought the advice of many people...

I seaerched the forum, but did not find an answer for this. I'm a user on the North Carolina statewide 800 smartnet-II system. We have xts and xtl radios. My question is this. Once the radios are programmed and on the system, if our local department purchases CPS and the cables, can we change...
