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 experiments and learning the basics of the internals. Among those I managed to bring it to life of an HT880 UHF handheld, which is working surprisingly good with the already programmed channels. Then I contacted the manufacturer's official support channels for help with the programming, they have provided the CPS but due to the very old model, programming guide & cable for this specific radio is long discontinued and even if someone has one to sell it to me, shipping radio related products to Bangladesh is very difficult.
What can I do? I just can't seem to abandon this good working radio, amateur practice is very difficult but changing rapidly here in Bangladesh.
Now, I'm familiar with programming common brand radios and serial communication basics, I was wondering if it's possible to figure out the pinout and build a programming cable with a USB to Serial Board.
Kind regards,
