I have an old XTS3000. I am trying to use the software: Astro Saber & XTS 3000 CPS. The exact version is R05.03.00.
Whenever I try to connect to the device over the COM port, I receive the error message "Communication with radio failed."
I have tried dozens of configurations - in a VM on Windows 7, Windows XP, on a real computer on Windows 7, no dice any way. I have tried 2 USB to serial converters and a hardware serial device.
With the WinXP VM and the USB to serial converter, the radio beeped once and displayed CSO, but that's the farthest I have gotten.
Any ideas? I am out of ideas about what is wrong. Could it be the actual cable to the radio? It is a Chinese-made device, no power - and some of the older ones seemed to want power sources.
Thank you
