programming

Hello. I recently got a Minitor 6 to program for a customer and thought programming it would be easy… well for the life of me I cannot find a pinout for the bottom accessory connector. Does anyone have that, or know where I can find it so I can build a programming cable/cradle? They are $80 or...

Hi All, I've worked on a simple Mac OS software that allows me to read in my favorites list, easily rename them, edit the departments/frequencies etc... from my SDS100. But it should work on the 200 too. I keep seeing that everyone on Mac is busy installing Windows Mirror and then installing...

I hope this is the right place for this. So, I am having problems with HT1000 RSS. Shocking, I know. I have a customer who frequently brings me old Motorola radios, and I align them and program them to his system. Well, he just brought me some Visars and one will not program up. I was able to...

I’m a new user to amateur radio and this is my first device ever. I have a Baofeng UV-21R and I can’t program it at all. I just want to scan the emergency stations nearby to know what’s going on with all the sirens sometimes. I have no intention of talking, just listening. However I can’t hear...

Hi there, I hope you're doing well! Exciting news – my new SDS100 is set to arrive tomorrow, and I've been tinkering with the ProScan (PAID) software in anticipation. I'm eager to add the US Marine VHF Channels to a Favorites List, but I could really use some guidance on this. I've attempted...

I'm replacing old/expensive walkies at work (Kenwood ProTalkXLS and Kenwood PKT-23) with Midland BR180. Both use the same set of frequencies, and codes and I feel like I'm so close to getting them to work together, but I've hit a wall. When I press the talk button on the Midland, the light...

Hi All, Wanted to ask if anyone here has experience on setting up a single-site, voice on control channel configuration on a Motorola Quantar using the Intellirepeater system type, along with the correct APX programming fields. I have been testing different configurations and have not been able...

Hello everyone, I'm a new HAM member in this awesome community, so please take everything with a grain of salt. First of all, I DO NOT want any CPS programs! Just wanted to make that clear. Recently, I've received a donation of 4 old salvaged Entel HTs, which I'm trying to use mostly for...

Hi all - Complete newbie here. Actually I’m here just trying to help my (90 year old!) aunt. My uncle knew all about this stuff but he passed away several years ago so here I am! Her old scanner stopped working some time ago and she really misses it so she had me order a new one for her. I...

I have recently moved in Georgia to an area that is surrounded by what RR says are DMR TRBO systems. I have a MD390 that is “DMR” and claims it can handle DMR. One of two particular places I’ve attempted to listen to are Jenkins County and Jefferson County. I have attempted in the MD390 to add...

I am having trouble getting channels for a uniden bcd996p2. I used radioreference and imported into the freescan. Before hand I paid the company I bought it from to program. It just had 1 channel at the bottom. Now it has multiple channels and some channels come and some don't. I was wondering...

Greetings. I have a pro-92 scanner from RS. I have it programmed for Washoe County in Nevada, which is on EDACs system. I am picking up a carrier "Beep,Beep, Beep" at the end of each transmission. Is there a way in my programming software to eliminate that annoying beep? It's quite...

Hello All, This is my first thread started here or anywhere on the internet! Thanks for all your input in advance. I am trying to figure out how to import and export data in RPM 14. Whenever I use the data extractor the files all come out as .csv which is great, however I can't seem to figure...

New to radios and recent GMRS hobbyist. I have a VX-459, software and cord. I thought I'd see if I could program it for GMRS/FRS. Is this even possible? Is this strictly a VHF radio? I've got my channel list and corresponding details entered but I'm getting "Frequency Band Mismatched" when I...

Can I program a Motorola XPR6550 in digital with NXDN codification? I have the programming list to program in digital, but I cannot figure out how to program with channel Type NXDN, including the Ran Decode 10 and Ran Encode 10. Can anyone help me? Thank you. Ricardo.

Hey all. First time posting in a forum… ever. Not sure if this is the best place, but maybe someone can plug me in to where I need to be? Looking to see if there are folks out there willing to remote program(via Ethernet) my SDS200. I generally have everything I want in there with the local...

Is it still possible to read and write conventional channels on an apx7000 while not having access to the ASK for the trunk? The radio I have is supposed to be on the system which is no issue, but was wondering if I will run into any problems when changing around the conventional stuff from...

Is there anybody out there that knows how to reprogram MCS 2000 Motorola Radios? A few friends and I just got a handful of these radios and we would like to program them to a different frequency. I have the RIB cables, The CPS software was given to me by the same guy that programed the radios...

I'm a developer. Got the USB cable to my Kenwood TH-K20A. Outside of programs that are ancient, I'd like to send signals to the unit, but I have no clue about the comm requirements or any protocols that might be standard. I'm guessing there's a way to roll my own. Any insight appreciated as...

Hello. So I have acquired two used Kenwood TK-790 with the full feature head. I can receive on them both and transmit successfully on simplex. However I don't seem to be able to get into any of my local repeaters. I am unable to find any help files for the software to sort out what these mean...
