Astro Spectra Programming Manual

Apr 12, 2016 The Astro Spectra High Power is a simple DB-25 to DB-25 cable, the Mid-Power is a slightly-more-annoying-to-source DB-15. 2.) Some of the portables (CT250/450 & the CP200) use 1/16' (2.5mm) TRS-style connectors. This manual covers all models of the ASTRO®XTL™ 5000 digital mobile radios (models W3, W4, W5, W7, and W9), unless otherwise specified. It includes all the information necessary to maintain peak product performance and maximum working time, using levels 1 and 2 maintenance procedures. “RSpec is easy to learn and is an excellent tool for investigating “slit-less” astronomical spectra.” Richard Berry, Lyons, Oregon.

Haven’t you always wanted to “do some science” with your telescope or standalone DSLR?

The science is easy and exciting. You can learn as you go with our tutorial videos.

With just a small telescope you can easily:

  • determine any star’s OBAFGKM star-type and temperature from its spectra curve.
  • identify the composition of a star or nebula from its emission and absorption lines
  • detect the cosmological red-shift of a distant quasar!
  • measure the blue-shift of a supernova’s expanding shell as it races towards us at millions of miles/hour.

Sky and Telescope Interview

In the video below, Dennis di Cicco, Senior Editor of Sky & Telescope Magazine interviews the author of RSpec, Tom Field.

Hear how easy it is to get started and the wonderful results you can get with a DSLR or a small backyard telescope. Dark skies and big telescopes aren’t necessary! You can probably get great spectra with your current setup, even from the suburbs. Watch this video:

The short video below will explain a bit more about spectroscopy with a small telescope, how exciting it is, and how you can probably use your current equipment.

Pardon our smile!

We’re pleased that Sky & Telescope Magazine awarded our RSpec software their “Hot Product” award. The award is given for product excellence and technical leadership. Our customers tell us the award was well-deserved because our ground-breaking software allows you to easily capture and process the spectra of stars.

Now you can easily capture the spectra of stars

Our RSpec software enables you to rapidly go from a static image (FITS, JPG, etc. or DSLR) or video file to a calibrated spectrum graph – in real-time. Now you can see a star or planet’s spectrum graph instantly, right at your telescope! No more waiting until later to see if you got the spectrum you hoped for.

Getting started in spectroscopy is easy. Use our inexpensive Star Analyser grating (link) on almost any camera or telescope. You’ll be able to easily see the spectra of distant stars. You can even use an unguided DSLR camera — no telescope needed.

But, don’t take our word for it — the video below shows the spectra of a bright star taken at 5 frames/second using an inexpensive video camera!

Better yet, see for yourself what’s possible. Check out our sample results page that shows what amateurs just like you have done: link.

Astro Spectra Programming Manual

In the past, creating an intensity graph from a star’s spectrum was a painful trial-and-error process. But, now, because RSpec displays your profile graph immediately, it’s painless.

No one likes the drudgery of complicated image processing and steep learning curves. Astronomy is supposed to be fun! With RSpec, you can go from your original image to a calibrated profile graph in just a few clicks. See a star’s spectrum in real-time at your telescope!

General Info

Figure out what programming cable you need. Take a look at the mic connector.

If you need a programming cable for the P1820AX portable repeater, just use a regular mobile programming cable and program each radio individually.

The pinout of the 15 pin accessory connector on the Spectra 900 is as follows:

If you want the pinouts of the connectors on other Spectra models, refer to the installation diagrams at the bottom of the page.

If you have an Astro Spectra, you will want to look at the Astro Mobile page too.

The older versions of Spectra software wouldn't allow a 450-512 version to go below 449MHz. The latest RSS of spectra allows programming to 440. You may have to retune the VCO (solder across the lazer cuts a bit) to cause the radio to 'lock' on freqs below 440.5MHz in rcv mode. This version of RSS lets you program down to 140MHz on the 146-174 bandsplit radios.

Certain Spectra's like the Smartnet or Securenet radios don't have scan. You can't enable it in anyway. The board inside the radio that controls the scan feature is not present in the radio.

The scanning features on older radios is part of the programming in the MLM module. If its not in the MLM, and you want to get it, you have to 'pay' for a MLM with scan in it from motorola. The RSS won't unlock it, even though the RSS knows about scanning.

If you are hoping to find a way to get a Spectra to scan more than 16 channels, I think you will want to give up for now. We have yet to hear any method of doing this. However, should someone find a way, please let us know and we will post the results. BTW, if your radio is capable of zones, you can have a scanlist for each zone..

You can convert a Maxtrac DTMF mic for use on a Spectra 900 by changing the cord, color for color, clipping R18 and adding jumper JU1. Note that you can get an almost identical schematic of the boads in a Maxtrac DTMF mic from the MCX1000 VHF Service Manual.

The Spectra VRM 600 which has a modem capable of RD-LAP data built in the front of the Spectra dash radio and no functioning control head uses PIN 4 (SW B+) for ign sense. The standard dash mount programming cable power lead needs to be changed from pin 5 to pin 4 for this radio. I believe this is because of lack of a front panel power switch.

If you want to connect a MDC1200 unit to a Spectra, you need this diagram.

If you are looking for the pinout of the HLN1196A Auxilliary Switch Panel, then you will want to look here.

Spectra's come in many frequency bandsplits, called Ranges. Below is a list of the available ranges for VHF and UHF.

    VHF
  • Range-1 136-162 MHz
  • Range-2 146-174 MHz
    UHF
  • Range-1 403-433 MHz
  • Range-2 438-470 MHz
  • Range-3 450-482 MHz
  • Range-4 482-512 MHz

The HCN-1063A and HCN-1073A are Syntor X9000 heads as well as A9 Spectra heads. We have not found a way to determine the number of channels except to look at the EPROM inside the head. The 2K EPROM has memory for up to 32 channels, and will have 4 blank holes on the IC socket. The 8K EPROM is for 33 to 64, or 128 channel radios. It uses the whole IC socket.

Changing Serial Numbers Kiss cartoon naruto shippuden dub.

If you want to change the serial number in your radio, here is the C source for a program that is supposed to do it. It is supposed to work with Spectra version 5.03. I don't have a radio to try it on, so compile it your self and try it out. Supposedly you can use DJCC compiler to compile it.

The other way to change the serial numbers (command board AND MLM) in a Spectra is to use LAB RSS.

Changing Model Numbers

As for changing the model number on a Spectra, one method is as follows:

  • Load a codeplug from the 'coveted radio' (the model number you want)
  • Connect the programming cable to your radio
  • Select clone from the menu, and in a few seconds RSS will tell your plain old radio that it just got its name changed.

But, before you do it, make sure that you're not trying to tell a dash mount 50 watt spectra a5 that it's suddenly a 110watt a9, it won't work.

Corrupt Codeplugs

It appears that some Spectra's, when loaded with a corrupt codeplug, give the error FL01/82. Others lock themself into a repeating SELF CHK loop which is near impossible to do any more programming with.

We've been told that with lab software that you can get it out of this loop. You have to change the serial number of the radio, reinitialize and tune the radio, then read the codeplug and send it back to the radio in order to stop the repeating loop.

After changing the serial number the display reads FL01/82 (which is a corrupted codeplug), just keep going with the above procedure, and everything should be fine.

There is also something else you might try. We have heard that when the radio is stuck in this loop, if you play with the HOME and DIM buttons, you might be able to get the radio to stop looping and stay on a mode. You might have to try this a few times to get the timing right.

Once you have the radio stopped from looping, try dumping a good codeplug into it or cloning your backup codeplug to it (again it may take a few tries). If you're lucky, you may not have to go throug the above procedure.

The MLM Board

Ok, here is a detailed explanation of what the MLM is and does in the Spectra, and what is involved in trying to upgrade them properly.

The MLM board contains the firmware and programming info as to what the radio can and will do.

Most people who try to upgrade a Spectra (ie. try and make a Spectra 800 B5 into a C9) will not be 100% sucessful when using lab to forcefeed a C9 archive into a B5. The reason is, if the MLM board version of the C9 is say a 5.06 and the B5 MLM board you are trying to convert is a 3.22, you will not be sucessful because the lower version board does not have the all the chips and memory to hold all the info.

If you continue to try and trick the radio into taking the info, you will probably end up with a FAIL 01/90 when you turn the radio on and it will not stay on.

The correct way to upgrade the Spectra is to find as many Spectras as you can with all the features in the radio in all the band splits and check the MLM boards. If they are version 5.00 or higher, then you will want to extract the firmware out of them and save them.

The way to do this is to take out the MLM board and look at the chip side with the pins on the right side of the board. You will have to take off the first chip on the far left and use a programmer to read the info and then save it as a bin file and label it (ie. 800 C9 LEFT). Put this chip back on the board and remove the second chip and do the same, labeling it too (ie. 800 C9 RIGHT).

These are the firmware IC's which hold all the info such as, SECURNET, ZONE, 9000 CONTROL HEAD OPTIONS, ect. These chips are usually 27C512's and are EPROMS which can only be written once.

Now you need to remove the far right chip which is usually a 28C64. The proceedure is the same as the previous (read it, and save the file with a name like 800 C9 MAIN). This chip is an EEPROM which can be erased and re-written. It contains information such as MODEL #, SERIAL#, codeplug data, ect.

If you have ever noticed when you use lab and force feed one codeplug into another with some success, you usually have to program from the archive to make any changes. If you tried reading the radio after upgrading with lab, you will usually loose all the features beacuse all you did was store enough infomation into the the MAIN chip to make a couple of things work, but not always 100%.

Motorola Astro Spectra Programming Manual

The theory of the MLM board is when you read you're radio via RSS, you have read all three chips, the LEFT and RIGHT tell you what you can do and the MAIN is where you store all you're info such as, FREQUENCY, PL, MDC, HOME MODE, ect.

Now, you'd figure that if you replaced the firmware on your MLM with the newer firmware and replaced the codeplug EEPROM with a blank one, you should have a nice, new, blanked board, right? Wrong. If you put a blank chip on the board, you will get FAIL 01/90. The 28C64 also contains the info to fire up the Selfcheck and make the control head work. We are trying to figure out just what the minimum info the codeplug EEPROM needs in it to make the radio function so that you can get the proper model and serial number in it for your radio.

Spectra Test Mode

Turn on radio. Press HOME 5 times within 15 seconds. Press MODE UP Radio displays serial number Menu is presented - select by pressing

Password required to get into the service menu should be the last four digits of the radio's serial number.

To enter Service mode, turn rig on, wait to see SELF CHK then press HOME 5 times quickly.

Display slowly shows:

Service

Rotate rotary mode knob once and display shows (for example):

S/N 617

AWL 1288

Then display goes to the main menu system with the following main headings. Scroll through with the rotary mode knob.

(PS: The HOME button is used as an ENTER key from now on.)

Zone, Mode, Radio, Tst Freq, Ch Test, Align and Exit.

ZONE

Press enter and you see the first ZONE name is flashing. Scroll thru all ZONE names (plus EXIT) with MODE knob. Pressing enter brings up a submenu with these choices: NAME, SCAN and EXIT. Selecting NAME allows you to actually change the ZONE name by using the MODE knob to highlight each letter in the name which can then be changed with the ZONE UP/DOWN buttons. All numbers and letters are available (use the + to enter a space). Press enter when done. Selecting SCAN at the submenu shows the further choices SEL MODE or EXIT. Pressing the SEL button alters between N PRI (none), flashing PRI (main) and PRI (secondary) priorities. I'm not sure why this menu is here as it gives one the felling that individual ZONES can be scanned thru and I don't think this is true.

MODE

Pressing enter shows the first MODE and it is flashing. Scroll thru all Modes with the MODE knob. Pressing enter brings up a submenu with the following choices: NAME, CALL, SCAN and EXIT. The NAME choice allows you to change the mode name, again using the rotary MODE knob to highlight individual letters and then use the ZONE UP/DOWN buttons to scroll thru all leters and numbers. Press enter to get back to submenu. The CALL menu item was unavailable (beeped) as was the SCAN choice.

RADIO

Pressing enter brings up a submenu with the following choices: HOME SEL, PHONE, STATUS, MESSAGE, SITE, SECURE, MPL NAME, ST NAME, RAC and EXIT. The HOME SEL choice was unavailable.

PHONE brings a display that altenates between PHONE 1 and --------. The rotary MODE knob scrolls up thru PHONE 9 plus EXIT. Pressing enter allows you to edit PHONE 1 using the now familiar rotary MODE knob and the ZONE UP/DOWN buttons. After this pressing enter allows you to enter a phone number using all digits plus * (asterik) and # (octothorp).

STATUS shows a bunch of characters some of which are unrecognizable. The rotary MODE knob scrolls thru a bunch more of these. Eventually you get back to EXIT.

MESSAGE, SITE, SECURE, MPL NAME, ST NAME and RAC were all unavailable.

TST FREQ

Astro Spectra Programming Manual

Pressing enter here brings up a display with PSWD----. Use the rotary MODE knob and ZONE UP/DOWN buttons to enter any of all letters and numbers. Enter the last four digits of the radios serial number here. This brings a display with a flashing 1 followed by 46025C5. The rotary MODE knob scrolls thru others..all starting with a flashing 1..60025C5..1739975C5 and EXIT. If you press enter on any of these choices the 1 goes steady but the C begins to flash. The rotary MODE knobs scrolls thru these choices: PL, PC, PD, DL, LS, M6, MC, HS, DF, and EXIT. The default is CS (Carrier Squelch). The volume knob is useless while in service mode.

CH TEST

Pessing enter here shows V 2 01 for a few seconds then the display slowly cycles thru all letters and numbers as well as the various indicators in the display. Then it stops while displaying KEY TEST. Now, any key pressed shows up a individual number assigned to that key..as follows:

H/L 47 PHONE 31 CALL 33 HOME 08 SCAN 32 SEL 34 MODE DOWN 41 MODE UP 42 MON 48 MODE knob 01 VOLUME (just beeps)

ALIGN

Brings a menu with LO POWER, HI POWER, REF OSC, DEV and EXIT. Selecting LO POWER shows LO 1 025. Rotary MODE knob scrolls up to LO 2 025 and LO 3 025, and the ZONE UP/DOWN buttons allow the 025 setting to be changed from a value of 000 to 127. This allows one to adjust a push-button setting of rf output ( Lo Med and High) for either a Lo or High powered Spectra radio. You can toggle the transmitter on and off while doing this, and one of the test freqs is used. REF OSC programs just like the LO POWER and HI POWER settings, as does DEV.

EXIT

Just like it says.

Converting an A5 to A7

The A5 and A7 Spectra control head electronics are the same. The A5 control head has the electronics for the extra 9 buttons that are present in the A7 version. The radio will recognize these in control head test mode but the radio ignores them during regular operation. RSS will not let you program funtions for the other three rows while editing an A5 codeplug. Like the Maxtracs the radio enables certain options depending on the model number programmed into the radio.

Now. Changing the model number and serial number. You can probably do this with the Lab software, by loading an A7 codeplug (same band and power) into an A5 radio. You may be able to make a 'new' radio Maxtrac-style. I dunno. I haven't played with Spectra Lab Software.

Motorola, Fort Lauderdale will gladly send you a MLM with a generic serial number and whatever model number you wish, for about $220. This is the shop price.

Also, you have to purchase a new plastic front panel and buttons. The buttons available are listed and depicted in the various service manuals and there are some nice variations of legend and icon. You can find part numbers for most of the buttons in the chart below. The part number for plastic A7 front is also listed.

Converting an B5 to a C7

We received the following info regarding this topic:

I did get one engineer to tell me that all that I had to do was replace the MLM board with the serial number of my radio, and the model number of the radio that I wanted it to be. So with that info, I decided to be a $157 guinea pig and go for the gusto.

The results were worth it, my B-5 Privacy Plus radio became a Smartnet C-7 with my serial number and a new model number.

Now when you read the radio and go into More Features under the Radio Wide screen, it says that it is not Securenet compatible. But, I loaded one of our C-7 files into it (the same model number that I had the MLM programmed for) that is secure capable, and although it says it is still not capable, the secure key will load and it functions as though it should in conventional and trunked modes.

A tech. at Motorola said this wouldn't work because the micro processor had to be blanked out(sooner or later I'll figure out a way), and there were other issues involved in upgrading a radio this way. I can see why a B-5 isn't worth nearly as much as a C-5 or 7. He also said that upgrading from a B-5 to a C-7 is possible for the retail difference between the two, not really much of a deal.

So at any rate, a little more playing around and maybe we can figure this thing out, but I still think there's a way do do this without the big $ out of pocket.'

Converting an A3 HHCH to A3/5/7 Display

To make the swap from a A3 HHCH to a display type radio you need to swap out the MLM, either with a new one or a used one. The A3 HHCH MLM doesn't have all the logic chips that the others have.

If it's a new board, initialize it and dump your file that you want it to be into it. If the board is used you will need a copy of LAB and change the serial # inside the MLM to match the command board, then dump your file into it that you want.

If you are lucky enough to have a late version of LAB it will have a field called 'moflag' with which you can modify the radio without a new codeplug, although you will still need to change out the MLM from the A3 HHCH as it won't support the extra features of the regular display head.

Tricks if you have access to Spectra Lab RSS Fbspy.

If you can obtain access to lab software, and change the serial number of the radio to match the personality of a radio that has all of the features you want (with the same band, etc.), it will 'force feed' the radio, and that personality will be dumped in to thew radio. Then you can change the serial number back to the original one.

First, you need a file for a full featured radio. Using the Lab RSS, program the radio with it.

Second, the radio will now show a error message on the display, thats ok.

Third, read the radio with the error message then after you read it now program it again that will over write the serial number in the codeplug and the error will go away and the radio will now work with all features.

But now here is a trick you must watch out for. You must always read the file first then edit it then program the radio with the file. If you read the radio first then it will tell you the radio does not have the features in it even though they work. You must always read the file because the file is of the original radio with all the features.

We've also been told that you may be able to blank Spectra or Astro Spectra's using a version of Lab RSS.

Astro Spectra Programming Manual

Converting a 900 MHz Spectra for Amateur use

Okay, here's what we've been told should work for converting a 900 MHz Spectra for use in the ham band.

First, you have to program the radio with Spectra Lab for the features you want. You must turn all hear clear and the compander off.

Motorola Spectra Programming

Then, you program with Spectra SP06.00.10 RSS. You use this to put in the frequencies (Lab will not let you program out of band). From the README.TXT for SP06.00.10 RSS, 'This software was built by special request with the requestor realizing that the software will not be maintained or updated. It was built to allow extended 900mhz channel ranges. Motorola however is only responsible for the hardware when all the radio frequencies are within the published specifications'.

Astro Spectra Programming Cable

Once programming is out of the way, its real easy from hear on.

First, you have to get the VCO to lock. You need to play with resistor values (refer to schematic for resistor placement) in order to get the correct value.

To get the proper 5khz deviation on TX, solder .003 mfd across C651. You will get over 5 kHz TX deviation, so you must adjust the deviation in RSS to compensate.

For proper receive response, you must replace the filters in the front end. Remove FL6301 and FL6302 (they are 7.5 kHz BW) and replace them with Motorola part# 91-80297k05, they are 12 khz BW. The filters are located in the center of the RF board, they are the blue squares. Be careful when de-soldering them, the traces are VERY small.
