Motorola Software Update Tool
Helen Drewski
Several Motorola radios: Mitrek, Syntor, Syntor X, Syntor 9000, and MaraTrac, use a standard SO-239 UHF connector as an antenna jack, in a recessed well in the front of the radio's housing. Motorola calls this a spanner nut. It's completely round but has two wide slots across from each other and requires a special wrench to fit around the connector if you want to remove or install the nut. The photo below shows this jack and the locking key from the front of my MaraTrac low-band radio (click on any of the images for a larger view):
Motorola makes and sells an official tool, RSX4028A, for about $25US as of April 2009. I was not allowed to purchase it on Motorola On-Line, either because it was No Longer Available (NLA) or my account privileges aren't sufficient to let me buy a service-related part. Here's the description and a photo of this tool from the Motorola mobile catalog:
I looked into using copper pipe and iron pipe. The wrench needs to fit around the SO-239 jack, which is 5/8 inch in diameter. The inside diameter of 5/8 copper pipe is exactly 5/8 inch, but pipe of this size is not carried by my local home improvement center. The inside diameter of 1/2 inch black iron or galvanized pipe is 0.622 inches, just under 5/8 inch, but it's close enough that it will fit. I purchased a 4 inch threaded piece of black iron pipe and a galvanized TEE connector to use as a handle.
The first problem I found was that while the inside diameter of the pipe WAS 5/8 inch, there was a ridge inside the pipe, probably as a result of the manufacturing process, that prevented the pipe from fitting over the SO-239. I used several reamers and rasps in my drill press to remove this ridge until everything was smooth. The pipe then fit over the SO-239 perfectly.
I used a grinding wheel to flatten the end of the pipe slightly, then made some marks completely by eye with a utility knife, to outline two tabs diametrically opposed on the end of the pipe. I used a hacksaw to make two cuts across the pipe, leaving the tabs about 0.070 inches across and about 0.90 inches deep. I guessed at the size because I had not removed the nut from my MaraTrac to try a test fit or to get actual measurements.
After cutting the outer edges, I used the grinding wheel to remove the majority of the iron pipe around the circumference, then used a hand file to finish the job, making the surface flat and clean. I had to use the rasps again to remove the burrs left from the grinding process.
After making sure the machined end of the pipe actually fit the antenna nut, I screwed it into the TEE connector to use as a handle. I made sure it was tight with a pipe wrench and a vise. This is a man's-size handle! Here's a photo of the finished tool and the business end:
The cost of materials was under $4US. The wrench took me about 1/2 hour to make. Even though I used a drill press to clean the inside of the pipe, a smaller electric drill or even a rotary tool (commonly called a Dremel tool) with a rasp would work just as good. A hand file, hacksaw, utility knife, pipe wrench, and a vise completed the list of tools I used. Most any homeowner or handyman would have these tools available.
If I manage to shear the tabs off this wrench, I can easily cut new ones into the end. This may not be as strong as the official Motorola tool, but it certainly cost a lot less, and for the convenience of having it, I'm glad I made one.

Took the fatty on the WABDR, it had more than enough room for all the tools needed to fix me and my boyfriends 20+ year old bikes. Very durable, plenty of tie down points, and very easy to organize different sized tools.

Everything this company makes is thought through so many times before produced. And tested. I love having the tool roll easily available on the rack instead of inside one of the panniers. works perfect for the kit I carry.
I wish everything in this world was made with so much attention to detail, quality, love, and care. Amazing bags, happily paid much more than competing products because mosko supports Moto community through BDR project and it's one of very few brands that make me smile and feel happy when I think about it. Reckless 80 is a perfect bag system for my KTM 690. Already tested during a multi day trip and it was simply perfect.

Note: Motorola Phone Tools does not work with Android devices.Clunky, crashes a lot and not very well maintained (at least last time we checked), the Motorola Mobile Suite can do a lot of things. Unfortunately, those lots of things that we tried to do often slowed down the PC or simply crashed the system.Motorola Mobile Phone Tools (or MPT, now known as Motorola Media Link) promises users the ability to sync and backup contact information (useless if you use Google Accounts), copy and store music and media files, provides options for phone firmware updates and more.We also found MML to be more responsive and less prone to crashes when run on Windows XP as opposed to Windows 7.Though if you're looking for something that's a little better but less user-friendly, we'd suggest checking out Droid Explorer, but only if you're using a modern Android-powered device.Features of Motorola Mobile Phone Tools

The Motorola is a simple model for reflection and development. It can be used in reflection on personal level or on a team/organizational level. The model works well also for mentoring. The model has been used as a reporting tool in the last phases of projects for either analyzing the results or reflecting on the process. Its name originates from the American telecommunications company where it was widely used in reporting.
Participants should take time to answer each of the four categories as thoughtfully as possible, then discuss their results with either other team members or their respective mentors. If desired, rank reflections with points if they should be focused on more than others.

Moto tools are an excellent aid to modelers. In many instances they make cutting, grinding and sanding faster and more accurate. The reason I purchased my first Dremel tool was because I had nothing that could cut music wire.The downside to moto tools that the bits are expensive especially when you are starting out. It never gets any better because the bits do not last very long. Garnite bits wear down and steel bits become dull quickly.In spite of these shortcomings, moto tools are excellent and great time savers.Also see
