RELM RMV

[Mtnrider]

When programming my RMV's i can program the one in the house (50 Watt). If i take laptop out to truck it will not see the radio "Communacations error" ANy ideas? Same radio 50 watt. Also tried on a 25 watt radio. Just wont see them.

Check the connector on the radio. Sometimes dirt collects on the pins and you get error.

Can't say if this is your problem but I have been there with the same problem.

Dirt in my truck......Ummmm...yup i will try that thanks.....i did move the connector around but i will look better in day light

Just tried on my work truck 25watt...checked mic connector for dirt/dust etc...no good....still no communication......trys to download thats it

Make sure the mobile is not in any scan mode before you attempt to conect to it to download or upload.

Nope not working any other ideas? Scan Off, Power on,computer on cable hooked. Comm error......and like i said same radio in house programs fine.

Probably will sounds nuts, but do you think it might be related to the power going into the radios? I dunno. I would probably take the power supply that works on your indoor radio outside to your car if you can, and see if you can power the car radio with the power supply and see if it likes this better. Probably a longshot, but a time or two I have had radios that liked one form of power better than others. Good luck.

I had the one truck running when i was trying although one had the heater running. My pickup is hooked direct to battery. The other is hooked to a hot ING post in the truck. Dont remember if had that one running when i tried it. busy today will have to try later in week. i can remove them and try them home on Power supply and see. Thanks for the suggestion.

OK Thanks to all whom replied......i got one of the 50 watters to play nice.....cleaned the mic jack with a Q tip.....and held the programming cable just right.....seems the mic jack has issues with those 3 connectors....now i hope to try the 25 watt later in week.
