Requires the correct software, a "rib" box, cable, and a slow DOS computer, Modern processors send the data too quickly and the RSS software only runs on DOS, not even in a DOS box on Windows.

We actually have the cable RIB software and a win95 machine that can boot to dos at my shop.. The problem is due to rebanding that radio is useless

Where is your shop located

The important question is what do you want to use it for and is it the correct radio for said use.

They are the period and service correct radio for the piece of fire apparatus they are on I have 4 of them I just need them reprogrammed to a single conventional channel

If I remember correctly most were trunking in the 800mhz range. I'm not sure if you can add conventional to them, but more importantly you cannot just pick a 800mhz frequency and add it in the radio to use it. I think your best bet is to just leave them on the vehicle and leave them alone.

I am aware you can't just pick a random channel , there is licensure involved which is covered I'm working off a existing 800mhz system . Supposedly the regular stx can be conventional but not the 821 . Can you program it or are you just looking to be negative?

Not really helping, but I'm almost positive I had the NPSPAC channels in my 821. If I can find a decent battery I'll check.

Thank you very much

You can absolutely program conventional channels into the STX or STX821 as I've done it myself.
