Motorola XTS 2500 MDC Data “Police Noises” on conventional analogue system

[@VTX-Live]

I did this and causes most hams to throw a hissy fit. It's a lot of fun.

[@rarity5865]

Yeah I can imagine , even though there’s no “rules” against it 😂😂 I just use it for my commercial systems

[@VTX-Live]

@@rarity5865 it's a little data burst at the end. But hams act like you personally insulted their mother by using it.

Sad hams just like notarubicon says

I triggered a ham on a local repeater with this on my mobile XTL5000!!! He jumped down my throat immediately and blew his mind over this MDC id!!!😂😂🤣🤣🤣👍👍

[@radiosification]

You can enable MDC on that DP4800 too and have it show the ID on screen

[@rarity5865]

Yeah have all that set up through my repeater for all the analogue handsets that support it

[@radiosification]

@@rarity5865 nice

[@VNSFSTEF4N]

How can I enable this alert tone on the XTS-5000 when ending transmission?

[@KQ4LNZ]

I usually don't ask but where you actually transmitting on the simplex dispatch channel

[@rarity5865]

That channel is my technically assigned business repeater licensed to me

[@KQ4LNZ]

@@rarity5865 oh ok i was just curious

[@danielgreben8289]

That sounds curiously like a modem digital signal.... is there actually any data on that R. Beep?

[@rarity5865]

yeah its sending out the radios ID

[@brandonthorp5628]

How did you get your radio to do this?

[@rarity5865]

In the CPS, there are parameters for MDC signalling , you set a radio Id in the MCD calling and then set the personality associated with the channel to use MCD signalling

[@johnnyalley9676]

​@@rarity5865Can you make a video tutorial about it?

[@ThatCleanMT]

I have 4 XPR7550e radios I use for my business. I also have all my local ham repeaters programmed in. All key up the MDC tone and it’s hilarious when the sad hams lose their shit over it. 😂 One who I hear from time to time threatens to report me to the FCC almost every time I jump in on the net. And yes I am a licensed ham operator. Crusty old ham geezers… 😂

[@rarity5865]

Love it !! Yeah let them carry on being sad

[@CentralVirginiaEAS]

I would need a license to do this of course. I am not really a pro at radio stuff

[@rarity5865]

yeah a license does help XD i have an amateur radio license and many commercial radio licenses :)

[@CentralVirginiaEAS]

@@rarity5865 Ah, good thing I disabled the PTT on my radio lel

No you do not...

[@CentralVirginiaEAS]

@@2KCamaroZ28SS ?

[@rarity5865]

@@CentralVirginiaEAS what he probably means is , yes , you don’t “need” any kind of license to press the ptt. Like, the radio doesn’t know if you have a license or not , it won’t magically stop working , however , it’s always a good thing to have , so you know you can talk on a particular frequency and not have any issues

[@CentralVirginiaEAS]

oh wait, are we using murs here?

[@rarity5865]

Nah , we don’t have that allocation in the uk , I have various business licenses as well as my own repeater that I operate on

[@CentralVirginiaEAS]

@@rarity5865 Ah, interesting.

[@rarity5865]

@@CentralVirginiaEAS I have two systems , A Motorola DR3000 running the dmr side , and all handsets in use have AES256 encryption enabled :) there’s also a kenwood TKR-850 for a separate conventional analogue system , both are UHF

Hi do you do programing

@rarity5865 ok how much I have 2 5000 models

[@Trident_2]

I have a question if you can help me. I watch a series called Happy Valley ( UK ) and on two episodes there is what I call a distress signal ( something like pam pam prrrrrrrrttt on repeat ) . They used in the episodes when a police officer was in big trouble ( for example season 1 episode 4 near the end is the other ) . Do you know the brand or signal or whatever info as to start searching in google? Because , I haven't got any results so far...

[@rarity5865]

Hi there, really sorry never seen that series and I don’t really know about other signaling equipment

[@Trident_2]

@@rarity5865 Ok mate thanks!

[@user-sq8xt9gk7u]

Two tone signaling maybe?

[@Trident_2]

@@user-sq8xt9gk7u I don't know I am still searching.But I saw on an episode, on a close up, that it may be a Motorola radio ( video resolution was mediocre). Police officer pushes a button on/near the top and the radio started automatically transmitting the signal to the rest of the police department. In the last episode also had a location establishment ( although that might be an addition from the movie and cannot be done in reality) and a voice said "Code 0" blah blah blah...and the distress signal transmission.

[@user-sq8xt9gk7u]

@@Trident_2 these type of systems do/did exist, where a tone sequence would trigger an alarme/radio/siren etc. Google " SIGNALING METHODS FOR RADIO SYSTEMS By: Mark Abrams " it probably is some type of Two tone or five tone signaling, you can find some sound simples online.

[@apolloboi775]

So how do you get this, and do i need and where to find?

Una pregunta de casualidad los motorola pro 5350 esos tendran en sonido gallito cuando suelta el ptt?
