I'm trying to reprogram an Orion rack mount base station and am running into problems. The computer is giving me an error message that it could not communicate with the radio; to put it in programming mode (although it is in pc prog) These units have not been touched in many years, so likely last programmed with much earlier version of software...
I am connected in the cabinet with a Price Industries R30C cable in between the TR box and control head cable. I am running R20C ProGrammer on my (programming) toughbook with Win7Pro through the serial port. Tried all 9 com port settings thinking it wasn't com1 without success (most in use) This laptop is used to program many XG-100p radios... Could it be the computer is too fast (like earlier Motorola products?) This cable has worked in the past on vehicle mounted dual head Orion mobiles so I know the cable works (although it was an older computer and much earlier version of ProGrammer)
Really need to get this figured out ASAP so we can get the units reporgrammed and in service or the threat is they are going into the dumpster.... It's likely something simple I am overlooking! HELP!
