If you can help out with any of the following info, email us with a description or attach a gif. We'll post it in the next update so we can help everyone out.
"FTR" Keys
If anyone has information on what is inside these parallel port keys, PLEASE, let us know.
SB9600 Protocol
I would like to start a page on this protocol that is used to communicate with most of Motorola's products. What I need is lists of opcodes, data format, anything, in relation to this communications protocol.
MAXTRAC
We'd like to find a way of getting the silly radio to do something other than 12.5khz steps on 800 MHz (5 or 2.5 khz would be nice :) )
Also looking for a way to change the tune-up frequencies that pertain to the service portion of the RSS. Specifically the frequencies used in the low band (42-50 MHz) models.
GM300/GM350
RSS modification to disable encryption in the codeplug.
Also looking for someone who has been successful in blanking a GM300 logic board and getting it to reinitialize with GM300 RSS
Spectra
The pinout for the Keyloader to Low Power Spectra cable. What the model definitions bits are that reside in the command board and the exact location.
How do you program these radios out of band (further than the RSS will normally allow)?
Anyone have any information on how to connect an Astro Spectra to a 3151 Tone Remote Adapter (TRA), as well as info on how to hook up the TRA to power?
What is the difference between the 5197014A10 & 5197014A11 MLM boards (other than part number and price).
Is it possible to convert a Type II radio back to Type I operation? How?
Anyone have information on the dual radio option using S9000 heads? What's required?
Is it possible to convert a Metro-com Spectra back into a normal conventional one? How?
Minitor Pagers
Looking for info on how to convert any of these units to carrier squelch.
Maratrac
Looking for information on using a Syntor X9000 head with a Maratrac. Someone in the Texas Highway Patrol uses this setup (you have to program the head with X9000 RSS and the Maratrac with Maratrac RSS). Supposedly it involves adding an interface board to the X9000 head. Anyone know the specifics?
We are also looking for schematics for the installation diagrams of the various Maratrac models, something similar to the ones for the Spectra.
MTSX Series
Anyone know how to edit any of the newer versions of RSS (>6.00) to enable Lab Tools?
DARCOM 9000
Motorola DARCOM 9000 900MHz data radio, any info on out of band to get the PROM programmed into the Ham band?
SABER
Is there any difference in the pinouts between the version A SVA and the version B SVA?
SYSTEMS SABER
We need a different out of band modification, the one we have doesn't seem to work, other than change what the RSS says the limits are
ASTRO SABER
There was a fellow at the 2001 Dayton Hamvention that had an Astro Saber that had upper/lower case characters in the channel/zone display, we want to know how (since he wouldn't tell).
MT1000
Any way to get more than 8ch into the scan list for a 99ch radio.
Mostar
Looking for a schematic of the MIB, the service manual 68-P80900Z57-0 doesn't have the schematic in it as far as we know.
GP300 Select-5
Looking for datafile (codeplug) format details. Have someone who'd like to extend S5 sequence length up to 32 tones if possible.
Another problem is to decrease the tone length (about 5 ms).
GP300
Where in the codeplug are the values for squelch, mic gain, and PL deviation stored?
SYNTOR X-9000
Also looking for info on using one control head with 2 drawers (UHF and VHF). We have some of the info, just need some schematics. If anyone has an image of the SP04 firmware for this option, please let us know.
We are also looking for an image of the firmware from a radio with INTERNAL Advanced Securenet. This would either be from one of the field upgrade kits or from a factory unit with the option. Note this is not the same as a radio with an external security housing.
Looking for info on using an "A3" control group on a low band radio (mod # T71kej7j04ak)
Looking for information if anybody has been able to take the ver8.0 syntor X9000, not the E, out of band, have someone who is trying to put 460MHz channels in a 470-482 radio, or 470 channels in a 450-470 radio (within the confines of the vco).
Visar
What is the difference between the RIB to Visar cable is listed as 3080371E46 for a conventional and 3080371E52 for a Privacy Plus models?
MSF5000/MTRI2000
Looking for the pin in/out configuration for the installation cable between the MRTI 2000 and the MSF 5000 digital repeater. Motorola part number CDN6017.
Looking for programming algorithms and information for the EPROM versions (non RSS programmable ones)
MX-300T
Heard a rumour that there is a jumper somewhere (JU100?) the convert the radio into a conventional radio rather than trunked. Any truth to this?
MC2100
Looking or info on the protocol used by the accessory connector for remote interfacing.
LT200
Looking for the pinout of the programming cable (if applicable) as well as the pinout of the accessory connector.
PX300 "Lunchbox" Radio
Looking for the pinout of the 4 pin plug on the battery case for charging.
Also looking for the pinout of the 12 pin plug on the charger, p/n NLN6531A.
Traxar/MCX1000
Looking for the pinouts of a HMN1001B Traxar mic to convert it for use with a MCX1000.
Need the pinout for the programming cable for the hand-held control head radios (see the picture in the Gallery).
Motrac
Looking for modifications to move a 250W base (B94MDB model series)from 450-470 into the ham band without blowing up the doubler/tripler sections
MDC-1200
We have had a number of requests looking for detailed information on this signalling protocol. If anyone has information such as patents, protcol timing and signalling descriptions, please pass it along.
Pro Series Radios
Still looking for out of band info. There seems to be a few versions of RSS depending on the origin of the radio (Latin America, Europe, or North America).
We hear that the HT1550/PRO9150 may have the capability of being field programmable... it appears the "key" is in the battery. Does anyone have any further information? We are looking for the part number of the special battery, the firmware revision for the radio that supports this feature, and of course the schematic of the key.
We are also looking for the pinout of the accessory connector for the PRO3100.
We are also looking for a schematic of the RKN4081 Rib-Less programming cable.
How can you get around the password protection that can be programmed into these radios?
Flashport Radios
If anyone has a used flash upgrade key that they are willing to part with (as we understand it, once it is used, it is no good anymore), we'd like to get our hands on it for some reverse engineering. See our contact information for how to get it to us.
H1011A Paging encoder
Looking for connector pinouts for the connectors on the unit.
MT/MTS2000
Does anyone know how to disable the encryption of the saved codeplug files?
MC-Micro UHF
Looking for a modification to make these radios 9600 baud packet capable.

Looking for out of band info.
Iden Handhelds
We are looking for the pinout of the programming cable for these radios, as well as the pinouts of the accessory connector.
MDT7100 Data Terminal
Chuck is in dire need of a service manual and PROM's for this unit. Can anyone help him (and cc us too)?

We are looking for a list of the error codes displayed by this radio.
Alert Central Paging Encoder
How does one change the paging tones encoded by this device?
HT50/P100

GM950
Does anyone have a model breakdown chart for these radios?
MCX1000
Does anyone have the pinout of the keyloader port on these radios, as well as the part number for the KVL to radio cable and its pinout?

We would also like to know what version of RSS these radios are programmed with.
GTX/LCS2000
We need the pinout of the 3008566C12 test cable that connects to the accessory connector on the radio.
Does anyone have the complete pinout of the accessory connector? We have up to pin 13, but would like the rest.
We also want to know where the components are located on the main board for changing the function of pin 13 (pictures would be helpful).
RLN4460A Test Box
This is the replacement for the RLN4005B test box, does anyone have a schematic for it?
