Hello All,
My programming rib is on the fritz and wanted to reprogram a couple HT's.
My main question here is : Can I build a new rib using 1 of the many Max 232 I have in junk box for programing the Moto radios , or would I be better off to bite bullet and just get another batwings rib. Been at least 10 years since I use my rib and it might be 10 more before I need it again.
I don't want to build a Motorola specific radio rib want 1 that I can use on all Motorola, as I have gp,astro,maxtrac,ht1250,ht1000, so need it to work on full range just like the moto rib.
Or would I be better off building a transistor rib as I have almost all the stuff to do either in the junk boxes.
Thanks
