My fire department has an old Astro Spectra Plus W4 built into its main vehicle. The radio still has frequencies programmed into it from the department we bought it from and we wanted to program it to function on the Provincial Fire frequency. I was wondering what it would take to reprogram it...

Hello! I am a little late to the game and noticed a wealth of info on creating SC4 files for GE / MA/COM Orion radios. Unfortunately there seemed to be a PDF guide on how to do this that is no longer a valid link on hamrepeater.com site. I have also seen reference to SC4 files that have already...

Hi all. This is a novice question but I can't seem to find the answer in the forums. How do I determine what site to program for a particular talk group? Is there a list that correlates talkgroups with sites? I don't think all talk groups are available on all sites, so how do I determine...

In the past I've been able to program my IC-5100 with Receive Frequencies that are outside the amateur band, so long as they are divisible by 5000. I recently re-installed the WCS-5100 software from RT Systems, and I find that it will not accept a RECEIVE frequency out of the amateur band. Is...

Good day, One of my HT1250 radios has issues, so I found a good deal on another one. My existing ones do not have the DTMF keypad, but the new one does. When I try to load my programming, CPS tells me that the model numbers don't match and it won't allow the upload to the radio. I am on...
