wrong port so who knows what else is mixed up. Anyone know the specific cable
lengths from the T connector and the TX/RX ports? It has a 22.5cm cable on
the TX side and 21.5cm on the RX side (UHF male tip-to-tip).

First if it is all stock. I would go through the cards and replace the

hi, i would like to reprogram my msf5000 to work with my spectras at typeII
trunked repeater, is there a guide online to read for basics and program
accordingly?
I'm not sure, George, but I think you'd need a trunking controller (separate
system) and **several** (i.e., two or more) MSF5000 stations in order to
have a trunked system.
The 900 MHz MSF5000 I bought from the East Coast was part of a trunked
system, but each station itself was set for only

To each his own. I have about 60 Motorola HT750 and 30 CP200 radios in my

The radio failures I have found are the result of user abuse, rather than an
