Hi,
I have a RLN5583B that needs a rib box to use. I would like to skip the rib box. I have a RKN4081C ribless programming cable. I also purchased a cables to go rj45 10 pin to db25 male connector (02922). I examined the rkn4081 and see only 4 wires are actually inside the connector. I took apart the db25 female connector on the rln5583 and see that only pins 1 and 15 and going to the rln5583b box. Pins 4 and 11 are connected together. So I plugged the connector I purchased into the rkn4081 and plugged every combination of 2 pins into pins 1 and 15 of the rln5583 and tried to read a cp200. My attempts failed.
I would like to know why I failed. I thought the rkn4081 was a ribless programming cable. Yes it is not a programming cable for a cp200 but to use the rkn4081 you need a fkn8096b to program a radio anyway. So I assumed (probably incorrectly) that I could just use the rkn4081, change the pinout using my adapter, and plug it into a rln5583. Can this be done? I need to flash a bunch of CP200 radios otherwise I would just get a usb programming cable for the cp200.
Thanks,
