:eeek: Any one ever work with a DX Systems Receiver unit?? Need to locate programming cable and software to make changes for a customer.

Shut one head off with the power button. Connect programming cable to the left side mike connector looking at the trunk unit from the front. Press and hold the first soft key while also pressing the power button. You should get "PC CLONE" in the display. Sometimes you need to power off bot...

Master ll repeaters will tune down to 440. But, on the other end, how far will they tune up??

Looking to get 475.5 on the rx end, and 472 on the tx end. Price was right on the equipment. Already have duplexer, and icoms.

:beer: VERTEX. The 920 limited keypad will do 500+ channels, and with the option board, MDC1200 encode and decode. it will also decode DTMF ani on the same channel with mdc1200. We found that out by a programming error which worked to our benifit. Pricing in line with motorola, and speaker mikes tha...

I know with the BSC5000 base station, you get this little jumper that screws on the radio left side mike jack, then plugs in the back of the mike jack on the front of the base station. I asked one of our techs about your problem. He said try it. He remembers doing something of the same when he lost ...

Space bar when yopu are in pl/dcs column. Tap once for pl, twice for dcs. Then hit enter to select tone or dcs code. To delete a channel, bring cursur all way to the left, tap space bar. You also pull down a menu from channel allocations and set how many channels you want in each group. I beleive yo...

We also use both MDC 1200 and DTMF ANI. We can actually decode both with the 920.

Our VX4200 control station will also. Nice advantage. Some of the guys were complaining about the way to grip the submersible speaker mike. After two weeks, no more complaints.

i will just stick with my VX920. Easier to program. Thanks for the insight.

How do you get a panther 600p portable to scan?? Not exactly most user friendly radio to program. I also need to add more channel groups. Any insight greatly appreciated.

I have a Toshiba pentium 1 for a back up just in case..

:beer: I am running XP pro on my Dell laptop. So far no problems. I was ready to smash the laptop, but found out my Norton virus software was messing it up. Uninstalled the Norton, now it works great. I have programmed a few VX510's and had no problem. Overall, I am happy with the 920's performance....

Probably is a firmware issue. I discussed this with our "Vertex King" in the shop today. he aske me to e-mail our tech contact at vertex about this issue. I program my radios I own with a softkey for talk around, so I can load more channels. Most of our customers, 99%, use another channel ...

:beer: You close to Pittsburgh?? I have the vmde1200 board in mine. Yes there seem to be some "bugs" not worked out by vertex. Overall, I think it is a great radio. have not tried the speakermike on mine. On channels I have mdc1200 selected, I cannot program a soft key for talk around, or ...
