You get to play with some of the coolest gear in radio
I do love playing with different toys. You learn a lot of interesting things and get to come up with new ideas.
Freaking. Awesome.
Hello Friend! Is there anyway you can still do the video talking about the cross band repeater function of this radio? would love to see the different ways of using this function in video format!
Cheers my friend
Brad
Icon had a Radio like this in the 90s,
Yeah, IC-900A. Had up to 6 modules (10 m, 6m, 2 m, 70 cm, 220 and 1200 MHz) and the head was connected to the deck stack via a single fiber optic cable.
Outstanding 🏆🏆🏆, now cram it all into a HT
I wish!
They did
@@Wc4rav please advise
@@Wc4rav what model?
Where can I buy a deck, I have the remote control head.
And what’s the name of it? Or is there a link you could share
Basically a "build your own system" system!
Have you created another in-depth video using the VM7000 as a Cross-Band Repeater?
I have not yet, it is on the list of things to do
Can it do cross-band repeat?
@@adorsett Yes!
@@Porty1119 wow! Does anyone have a multi-deck guide? Like how do they recommend to split the antenna amongst multiple decks? Do we need a multicoupler if doing V+V+U+U configs?
Could this be done in a VHF/VHF/800/800 deck configuration? Is the repeater a standard function? Would I be able to repeat a firegrounds traffic onto a dispatch channel and so forth?
You can use any combination of bands even all of one band. Yes you could do that, however crossband repeat only works on conventional channels.
@@RadioGeek So I couldnt crossband repeat an 800mhz channel over to a VHF fireground channel?
@@masonpletz7033 You can if they are both conventional, but not trunking. You could pair it with the Pyramid VRS to do it with trunking.
The majority of my commercial programming experience is with Motorola. I have some experience programming trunked radios systems using Motorola CPS, system keys, etc. as well as conventional systems. I have programmed my personal Kenwood TK-790/890's but that 's my extent of messing around with Kenwood stuff. Just a couple of questions; 1) Can the 700/800 deck head be programmed for non affiliated scan on a trunked radio system? 2) Can a Kenwood radio be programmed to be used on a Motorola trunked system? If yes, does Kenwood use a different system key than Motorola?
I'm a little ignorant on Kenwood products and just trying to learn.
No, cannot do non affiliate. Depends, if your trunk system is P25 and allows Kenwood radios then yes.
@@Teleman73 that's why I use Bendix King radios because it will allow passive monitor mode basically non-affiliate scanning for trunk systems and the software is easily used on those Bendix Kings I love it
The Harris Xp-75pe can do non affiliated trunking on phase 2, bad part is the CPS hardware key is cost prohibitive 😢
Analog/P25/DMR ?
It would be nice if you could set this for non-affiliate scanning for trunk systems that would come in handy a lot because I know there's a lot of non Public Safety users that like using commercial radio such as these because of that feature becoming even more popular with no popular digital systems that are trunked and it would be nice to have a nice integration with the software and not needing a system key in order to passively monitor a trunking system compared to how you have to do it with Motorola for example needing a software system key and it would be nice to just avoid stuff like that and it would be hassle free programming I wonder if such a software package is available I know that Bendix King has such a feature I've used that before with ease and I never once had to affiliate at all I could just passively monitor the system and they wouldn't even know I was even on it in monitor mode and I could scan as many talk groups as I wanted along with simply using conventional scanning also mixed
Is it possible to use 110 watts on p25 conventional ?
They do make a High power version for VHF, I have it in one of my vehicles. Usually there is not much need for 100 watts these days with most systems built for portable coverage.
For a low low price of 10k dollars.
Not sure where you got your quote but mine with three decks with all the options was about 6k list without any discount.
