Only on ham radio frequencies

@@kd9fal is that a yes or no? im asking because i wanna buy but people say u can not transmit or unlock it like the uv5r ,my uv5r does transmit on my 888s baofeng tho, will i be able to do the same on the uv17r

@@juniorramos1723 If you are transmitting on ham radio frequencies yes. If you are not no. If you don't know what frequency you are operating on you should probably find out.

@@kd9fal How can i find out what frequencies those are?? on my uv5r i use 462.125 and it transmit to my 888s baofeng will i be able to do the same if i imput that number on the uv17r ,sorry for asking alot of questions im new to this.

@@juniorramos1723 462.125 is not a ham radio/Part 97 frequency. That falls under the business band/Part 90. I will not work with that frequency.

It would be best to speak to a local radio shop on what you are currently using and how to improve. I can give you general information, but without know the area, it makes it harder to know how to improve your operations.

It is currently for sale. I am waiting on a response from one individual. Shoot me an email and I can let you know next week if it is still available.

@@henriquemiranda5748 Mission Critical, bluedot, will only work on an apx. Operations critical will work on both

@dennisv2416 I've never seen a topcom radio, so I can't provide much guidance. The biggest thing to watch for is to make sure the baofeng will transmit and receive on the frequency the other radios operate on. On a side note, make sure you are operating legally and have a license or are operating on a license free frequency.

@@kd9fal thanks for the reply the topcom ones only can operate on liscence free frequencies. Im looking at baofeng models so i can use then with peltor comtac. There are too many models and hard to find differences. Like the grms models or the gt models. I see people play with mostly uv-5r in airsoft i believe

@@troykenney176 I have an xg-100p that accepts multiple mission plans

@@kd9fal I use the 100p also. Just wasn't sure if the 100m does. I'll have to check it out when I get home.

@@thegamingchanel100 you got a pretty good deal on it for $150 if it is in good condition

@@kd9fal he still has some more for sale actually, they all need batterys but they are 7550’s uhf Might try and buy the rest! Any suggestions?

@@thegamingchanel100 Make sure they don’t have a code plug password. Other than that not many other suggestions.

@@kd9fal Well the rest of them sold but getting mine on wensday so I’ll see what’s happens, Where is the best place to find the newest firmware to cps 16 luckily it hasent been upgraded to 2.0

@@thegamingchanel100 Motorola has the CPS 16.0 available. You have to sign up for a business account.

You can get the CPS through Motorola. You will have to sign up for a business account and explain you are using for personal use. Once you have a business account, you must "purchase" the CPS.

I have the 5RM Plus and mine does not have 220mhz transmitt. Looking at what is labeled as 5RM on amazon, it has 220mhz. Other than that I don't know what the differences are, as I don't have a 5RM.

@@kd9fal thanks.

I do not. I run my equipment in narrow band if it doesn't have wideband. I don't notice much of a difference.

Thanks for sharing this. I was able to enable the 220mhz band. I havent done any testing on it to know what power it puts out, or if it puts out any spurious emissions

@@obelich The UV-5RM is locked down to Amateur Radio Frequencies

@herykaltara3838 I am not an electrician and a video like that would not align with the rest of the channel. I will not be completing this request.

The only radio that I have that out performs the XG-100P is my APX7000 but you can't beat the price point of an XG-100P compared to a multiband APX. I have a XG-75M that performs just as well as the XG-100P

The radio I received did not have the extra antennas

@@kd9fal There's a lot of different "kits" offered on line (Amazon). The H3 Ham kit I ordered came with 3 antennas (Standard, 771, and airband) and two batteries... plus all the cables, charger and base, strap and clip. All for $37!

@flightstatic4662 I purchase them from Wiscomm. They are great to work with a d seem to have some of the lowest prices.

@@kd9fal Thanks, i'll look them up!

Wow… THANK YOU!! With over 30 years in the public safety and radio world, I never encountered or thought to identify radios by band. This is a phenomenal concept for “cache” radio inventory. You can quickly identify the band by color - so simple yet brilliant. For most of my labeling, have been using my Rhino 6000 label printer to create high strength adhesive labels with basic info: Make / Model / Firmware Ver. / Band(s) / Type (analog / p25 phase-1 or 2 / DMR / combinations) / Radio ID / Emergency ID / Pri Talkgroup(s) / Group ID / Date placed in service / Date last programmed / CPS Ver last used to program / Battery Capacity / Battery date / Admin Unit y/n? (DMR feature control) / Contact Details / Etc.. It seems like overkill at times, so thinking of going with an “inventory ID” with all details in a db and laminated hardcopy in each case. Using the color coding method for band might be made more functional with the ID printed on the color coded label or tag..? What are YOU using to label your antennas? Heat shrink tubing? (but.. possible heat damage to antenna?) Tape? (would likely look messy and get all “gooey” with time and heat) Thanks Sir. Nice channel & videos!

@@PowderMill they are Motorola Antenna ID bands. As far as a database, I use snipeit. It is an asset management database for IT equipment, but I have made it work for my radio equipment. I can assign radios to a location, user, kit, etc. Makes it easy to keep track of maintenance, do audits, etc.

The /\/\ XPR-7550e is a nice radio, especially compared to most Chinesium DMR radios (OTHER than Hytera) But ONLY if the radio is being issuing to users and isn’t for personal use or use for techs or interop work. The radio is fairly rugged, it has decent batteries and accessories, etc… The only real dilemma?? It has *ZERO* FPP capabilities. The only “solutions” to this limitation are: A: Flashing to AA Asian model which supposedly supports FPP functionality (but I d never seen one “in the wild”) B: The other option = The real crappy & extremely limited option board product from a company located in Georgia. It is ultra limited and quite pricey$$. It permits you to use VFO type programming of a single channel, allows you to modify: tx-freq / rx-freq / CC / slot / (and possibly CTCSS /DCS for analog use).

Pair it like you would pair your headset to anything else. Put headphones in pairing mode, then go to bluetooth setting, search, and pair. Not all bluetooth devices are compatible with the xg and there isn't a list of supported devices, so its trial and error.

@southern_gaming I have a mix of the original motorola ones and ones i created from North Carolinas tts program

Negative, Just gave it a try

Not working on uv-5rm plus 10W :(

Not working

Make sure you have a good battery and nothing is touching the power button.

p25 conventional

I've red everyone is getting it from the Harris website. I would imagine it's not cheap. I'm trying to figure this out before I buy a radio

I received the software from the seller I bought the radio from. It still is sold online, but if you are wanting to do NAS there is a hacked version out there

​@@kd9falSo far, I've found nothing in regards to programming.

It has MDC1200. DOS Mute keeps MDC from being heard on a receiving radio.

I'm not sure of the exact part number, but you can do a search on ebay or Amazon and they are readily available.

Not sure what's so funny. There are two radios, power supply, power distribution all mounted on a piece of plywood. Everything is in a case for easy transportation, or can be pulled out to sit on a desk. I wouldn't consider it bulky. Everything needed to make it operational is in one box. I don't need to grab multiple boxes, or try to take equipment that is in the shack or in use somewhere else. What are you running for radios with your SR-629? How is it packaged up? What's you power output on each radio?

Thanks for the heads up. I will keep an eye on it. Do you know a difference in SWR or just performance? The singlesticks are meant for more localized operations/interop. I have the duplexer in there to connect to a Dual band base for wide area communications.

Swr didn't change much but my signaled reports were significantly better on less power

My understanding is that SWR is a proportional factor but not cumulative radiation efficiency. It's more to keep your tuner/radio happy.

But yeah, a counterpoise wire, "rat tail" can definitely be beneficial sometimes. Cheers.

Yes I did

Do you mind sharing with me your code plug? I’m new to programming APX 7000/8000 radios. I have CPS but I can’t get into CPS with out a code plug. I just want to learn about programming before I get my apx radio. Do you think you can help me?

@@DronePilot487 Send me an email and I will get you a copy of a code plug. It won't be my code plug, but at least it is a code plug you can dabble in.

Thank you so much. I appreciate it. I sent you an email. I can’t wait to get inside the system to see what it entails…. you made my day, sir.

Your best bet to monitor your local sherrifs office is to by a scanner. If you don’t know your way around the xts5000 or which ever radio you may use don’t try to use it as a scanner. You just keep mentioning XTS5000 Model 3. Do you know if the radio is the correct band for your local sherif. Do you know what type of system the sherif department is using? If your sheriff’s office is on a trunked system, putting a radio on that system to monitor is frowned upon and illegal. There may be a reason that they won’t program it for you. The software is available online. It just requires some searching to find, meaning it’s not gonna be the first link in google.

I have it in there as a just because. And use it for testing purposes. I really like the Motorbo line from Motorola
