MTR2000 MOTOTRBO Upgrade Installation

Upgrading an MTR2000 is a simple procedure. Depending on the proficiency of the technician

the hardware upgrade takes approx 15 minutes to complete per Base Station/Repeater.

Additional time will be required to program the station with the Customer Programming

Software (CPS) to the customer specific configuration. Before beginning the upgrade,

document the current code plug settings of the MTR2000, as they will need to be manually

entered into the MTR3000 CPS.

Note: The codeplug file format of the MTR2000 is not compatible with the codeplug file

format of the MTR3000, so manual entry of the codeplug configurations will be

required.

Compatibility

The following charts identify the system types, stations, and controllers that are compatible

with the MTR3000. Table 5 and Table 6 outline a direct feature comparison between the

MTR3000 and the MTR2000. It is imperative that the differences between the two stations are

understood when an MTR3000 is to be purchased for use in an analog system, as not all analog

features that were offered with the MTR2000 are available with the MTR3000. Furthermore,

the base station audio and control interface on the backplane has changed between the

MTR3000 and MTR2000 stations. These interface differences are noted in the “Adding

MTR3000 and/or Upgraded MTR2000 stations to MTR2000 sites” section of this manual.

Additionally, the MTR3000 platform offers a MTR2000 MOTOTRBO UPGRADE for existing

high-power UHF MTR2000 stations. When a MTR2000 station has employed the

MOTOTRBO Upgrade Digital Kit, the upgraded MTR2000 station will provide all digital

functionality that a factory new MTR3000 provides. Analog features offered in an upgraded

MTR2000 station are identical to that of a factory new MTR3000, however, there are subtle

differences in the analog connectivity at the J7 backplane connection between an upgraded

MTR2000 station and that of a factory new MTR30000 station. These differences are noted in

the “Adding MTR3000 and/or Upgraded MTR2000 stations to MTR2000 sites” section of this

manual.

Note: Since analog features will be lost with respect to the non-upgraded MTR2000, it is not

recommended to purchase a “MOTOTRBO Digital Upgrade Kit” for the MTR2000 if

one expects to operate the upgraded MTR2000 in analog mode. Upgrading the station

and operating in analog mode may be a temporary configuration while migrating the

subscribers. See Table 7 for specific configurations that are upgradeable.

The MOTOTRBO Upgrade Kit consists of the following individual items:

• MTR3000 Exciter FRU

• MTR3000 Receiver FRU

• MTR3000 Station Control Module FRU

• MTR3000 Front Bezel
