I'm having issues cloning IC-F5061D transceivers. I bought a USB cable and iCom software to clone about 100 units. I was able to clone the first 40-50 units without any problems. All of a sudden I started getting an error message : No answer from transceiver Check the following: -The COM port...

Given a well shielded and choked USB cable: On an SDR that draws its power over USB, would there be any good in supplying it with the cleanest 5V that I can come up with over the red wire while keeping D- and D+ wires connected to the Raspberry Pi (or other computer) USB port ? And if yes, how...

The times have dictated - to me at least - the need a being able to contact other HAMS with out repeater - with as much distance as possible using Simplex and 2 and 10 meter. (for now) I am set up for 2 meter but would appreciate suggestions for antennas for my Yaesu FT-857D - operating...

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...

I've been getting a low, pulsing hum on certain stations (happens a lot around 4840 and the surrounding areas). I was pulling my hair out, but I think I figured it out. It's not interference from my home electrical system or various electronics: it's my dang PC! I connected my SDR (HF+...

Need help.....I am using my Linux (MX Linux) computer. I installed WINE. I also downloaded the Windows program "Freescan" so I can program my scanner. I unzipped the file, and can't get WINE to cooperate.....I keep getting errors: Unhandled Exception: System.TypeLoadException: Could not load...

I see that there is computer control available via the USB port but I'm wondering if it's possible to get the received data over USB? I heard rumors that this could be done with the HP-1 with a firmware upgrade but not sure if that can be done with the SDS-100 yet. I'm still getting familiar...

I have a RTL2832U sdr dongle and everything was working fine, but I was encountering a strange error in logs of some programs on both windows and linux using the librtlsdr driver (an older branch with IR support). I narrowed it down to my USB 3.1 port causing it. My solution was to just move it...

I tried to program my ht 1000 with a serial port cable with an FTDI USB adapter attached to it on my Mac running Windows 10 via a virtual machine with Dosbox (I have programmed my 750's and 1250's on this VM with CPS, and it works perfectly). When I try to read the radio, I keep getting the...

Some Motorola's radios have a micro-usb port for programming (ex. MEVX-S24) is this just a standard micro USB cable or does it have a chip in it? Prolific etc. Link to the Motorola cable: CB000262A01 - Motorola / Vertex Standard Original Micro USB Programming Cable - ShopWiscomm

I have a GD-77 I bought a year ago and never got around to using. Firmware version of the radio is 2.6.3. So I want to finally program this thing. I plug in the programming cable into my Win 10 PC and the radio, turn the radio on, and in Windows Device Manager the radio shows up as "Unknown USB...

I didn't know where to put this so, what the heck? I put it here. Is there any reasonably- priced USB cable tester out there? Over time, I have accumulated a lot of USB cables: A, B, Mini-B and C. Some of them came with wall warts and are very possibly charge only, with no data capability...

I plan on taking my IC-91 out on a backpacking trip with me for emergency communications as I will be doing 60+ miles with just me and my dog. I plan to check in every night and would lik ea way to charge it. I am wondering if anyone has made a charging cable out of a USB cord? If so could you...

I've got 6 BCD996P2 scanners connected to a PC running separate instances of ProScan to control them remotely at a different location. Whenever the PC reboots, the software launches but fails to connect to the scanners. To fix, I have to physically turn off the 996P2s and turn them back on to...

Hi, Here is a brief summery of the process that I used to create a USB boot drive, based on the excellent GNU Radio live environment, to run op25 (scope.py, etc...). The whole process should take less than 15 minutes, resulting in a bootable GNU Radio environment that is pretested, integrated...

Hi all, New here and looking forward to chatting and getting know everyone , well as many as possible if you understand. My name is Col , from North East England and currently own UBC 3500XLT with a Skyscan indoor antenna. Would like some advice help with couple of minor problems i have been...

Installed USB driver from the CD with RS cable #20-546 and ARC500 on a Win7 Pro machine and am having no luck gaining connectivity. I bought the scanner & programming disc/cable several years ago. At the time, computer was running WinXP. I licensed ARC500, programmed the Pro-106, and I recall...

I am trying to connect the scanner to my laptop. I have a 9 pin male serial to usb cable that connects to the female cable supplied with the unit. When I try to download files from FreeScan I get a communication error cannot communicate with the scanner. I have used this usb cable to program...

Recently I deployed a BCD536HP to a remote location feeding Proscan. the serial connection was on the front USB, after a brief interruption to the USB connection; power loss or USB connection, the scanner hangs in the nag screen to select mass storage or serial. This is unacceptable for...

After much careful research, I took the plunge and invested in a Uniden BCD996P2. Rather impressive bit of hardware, but holy mother of God whoever wrote the manual was a complete sadist. Gave up on manual programming and got set up with Freescan. Got connected via USB (which is hours of hell...
