Hi All,
First of, please allow me to thank those who actually read my post. This is my first post and from what I can see, there are not that many Aussies on this forum so we all should stick together
I have a problem. I have purchased a second hand UHF MCS2000 (Motorola) and I am trying to reprogram using the Motorola MCS2000 CPS software as well as the old DOS version 3.00.00 but to no avail. I have a remote head and I also have non genuine RIB (Kawa Mall) that I am using to plug into the RJ45 Jack on the remote head.
When I am able to plug in the programming lead into the RJ45 Jack on the remote head and run the MSC2000 CPS, I get the letters "CSQ" displayed on screen. The radio then goes dull (similar to being unpowered) and then it beeps 3 times with every time having a slight (less than millisecond) "static" noise on coming from the speaker.
The MSC2000 CPS software then also says "communication with the radio failed". I have selected every port in the computer I am using and still replicates the same error message.
When I try the DOS based version 3.00.00 under windows, the radio goes blank but when I attempt to read the radio data from MCS2000, I get either, "bad checksum" error or " Nak Error". So I decided to try booting the software (DOS Version 3.00.00) from DOS 6.22 and when I read the data, I get a "Failed Busy Line" error or " Wrong Codeplug Loaded" error.
Now I am unsure if these messages are all because I am using a non genuine RIB Box and Serial/RJ45 cable (Kawa Mall = supplier) or if my Integrated Circuit has been fried. I really do need help as this is fantastic radio but as I live in SA, I don't have a use for NSW freq's as I can't hear them.
I have a brother that I will see in a cpl of weeks that has a genuine Motorola RIB as we works in the Telco industry so I will see how well I go. As for my attempts, I am at a loss of what to do. I have checked at batlabs.com and they don't offer any suggestions other than the build a cable myself.
If anyone is out there in Cyberspace that can help me, please... I really do need it and I don't mean the men in white suits to take me away either lol
Yours Faithfully,
