#Do the saber and astro saber use the same programming cable update
UPDATE mid 2021: The article you are reading was written by me, WA6ILQ in 2003-2004, over 15 years ago (and infrequently updated). Read the first four articles below thoroughly and understand them. If you misuse any CPS, or run RSS in a DOS Window, or on a too-fast computer that makes it crash or corrupt a code plug, it has the potential for turning expensive radios into bricks.
#Do the saber and astro saber use the same programming cable 64 Bit
Some, like the CPS for the MTR2000 flatly won't run under 64 bit Windows.Īs said on the front page of this web site, Repeater-Builder is NOT responsible for anything YOU do.

#Do the saber and astro saber use the same programming cable 32 bit
Most of it was updated for 32 bit Windows. While the articles are Motorola-specific, many of the workaround techniques are applicable to other brands.Īlways run your RSS in pure MS-DOS or PC-DOS version 6.x on a slow computer that has a real COM port and this does NOT mean a DOS window in ANY version of Windows !! If there are icons on the screen, or a START button is the corner then IT IS NOT PURE DOS !!! I REPEAT: Run the comuter on the operating system of it's day and on a computer made in the same era!ĬPS (basically RSS for Windows) is more forgiving, but don't forget that early CPS was written for 16-bit Windows (95, 98, ME). Motorola Radio Service Software have, where the problems came from and how they happened, and what the options are for workingĪround them. These articles attempt to cover some of the problems that the users of DOS based (i.e. You can pack a lot of plain text on a 1.44 MB floppy. Other information was contributed, some anonymously on a floppy disk (but the envelope had a Schamburg postmark !). Much of the information presented below was compiled from information provided by a half-dozen folks via emails and phone calls, and condensed into article form for distribution here to help the radio enthusiasts understand just why the Motorola RSS is such a pain to use and why the perfomance is so problematic. It's much better to waste a few kilobytes of cheap hard drive space on a backup you may never need than to need a backup you don't have and can't get.

Just save the code plug on your hard drive and use the radio serial number as the file name. If you screw up you can backstep the radio back to where you started and try again.

Johnson, or any other, remember to download and save the original code plug (with the commercial frequencies) and archive it. (RSS and CPS), the Radio Interface Box (RIB), their history, problemsĬompiled / written in 2003 by Mike Morris WA6ILQĭon't forget ‑ Whenever you acquire a synthesized commercial radio, be it Motorola, GE, Icom, Yaesu, (RIB), their history, problems and some solutionsĪn overview of the Motorola Radio Service Software / Customer Programming Software Please respect this.An overview of the Motorola Radio Service Software (RSS), the Radio Interface Box We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola). The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate just purchase it.įor M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
