#MOTOROLA ASTRO SABER SHTF FULL#
Portables were full quiet at 1-2 miles, usable at 3-4 depending. I am late to the party, but I had a similar setup as you N4GIX About 40 foot to the base of the mast, tip of antenna was around 52 feet. I eventually got in good with a 2way shop in my area and bought new gear at almost used prices as well as now work there, you would be amazed at what some shops have sitting collecting dust and they would probably sell for a few $10 bills I know our shop has hundreds of wideband gear equipment that will work fine on GMRS. I started out buying on eBay and am not sorry one bit, from there I met folks, some here and on another message board that have sold me gear at great prices and helped me a lot. Again you can grab Moto mobiles for less than $100 ea or even less (MaxTrac's are a dime a dozen). Also the Maxon 4450SC's are some of the best deals on GMRS, they should be had for $40+ programmed and then just get a decent antenna. Most of the eBay sellers will program them before shipping them out. You can find excellent deals on used Moto commercial portables for $40 each and on up, some will have a charger, maybe even a decent battery. If someone does initiate such a program, I would be VERY interested in how they got it approved.īROWNK89 I almost bought those little 350's but honestly for the price if you can find a repeater in your area, and it works well with portables I would instead go to eBay or do a search online for used commercial gear. All the departments in the county are on UHF, all have discussed a need to reachout to county and other agencies, ISPERN doesn't allow certain comms that the MA channel would provide. It is a near "perfect" system (I am placing my Part 90 Repeater at the same height and power) and yet we can't get the county to sign off on it and make it official for a mutual aid system. We have a UHF repeater that 30-40 miles at almost full quiet for the sheriff department, I personally have tested it in our county for a couple months, along with the deputies for coverage. I know from experience though it's a pretty tough sell. Do we want a 911 dispatcher monitoring the rag chewer? Having a mutual aid type channel would be a great idea. Now your CPS package will accept frequencies up to 480 MHz on a 403-470 radio.I like the idea, but the problem is with the bootleggers that snag onto a repeater, the unlicensed users that don't know radio protocol or a host of other reasons. To perform the switch, open up the executable and run a search and replace function to replace every occurance of 80A1031C with 00389C1C. Let's say you wanted to increase the upper limit to 480 MHz, or 480000000 Hz.

The band edges are stored in units of hertz, so for instance an upper band edge of 470MHz would be stored as 470000000 Hz, and in intel unsigned long format this would be 80A1031C. The short version of what you need to do is spelled out below.įor most CPS packages, the bandsplit numbers are stored as intel unsigned long hex strings. The Akardam website has a very in-depth and helpful article on changing the band limits for Motorola CPS packages, diving deep into the theory behind the mod. The use of a hex editor such as HexWorkshop or HxD is required, but the process itself is fairly straightforward. Because of this, changing the band limits to allow for amateur frequencies can be slightly more difficult.

Some RSS packages will give a warning about out of band performance, but for the most part you can ignore this.Ī partial listing of known RSS packages that support the shift-key method is shown below.įor some DOS RSS packages, and for almost all newer Windows CPS packages, the band limits for radios are stored in hex within the executable file itself. Note that you must fill out the entire field while holding the shift key, including adding extra zeros as necessary until you run out of space. At first this will appear as though you are typing jibberish into the frequency field, but it will automatically change to the entered frequency when you exit the field.
