mcs 2000??

[bstruel]

hi all
i have this radio in the garage... labeled as mcx 838, M01KHK9DB3AN.
look's like its a mcs2000, might be wong

i need to know what rss/cps will work with this radio, and what programming cable will work with it. will a maxtracRIB-less cable work?

While a Maxtrac cable may look the same, it will not work in a MCS. You need MCS CPS.

There are diagrams on building a cable for the MCS, you will need a RIB.

MCS2000 CPS R02.03 is the last released version of MCS2000 CPS, circa 2008. You will need a 32 bit version of Windows XP, Vista, or 7 to run it. It may work on Windows 10 (32 bit only) but the highest SUPPORTED O/S was Vista. This will ONLY work with an MCS2000.

DOS RSS was MTSX R6.08 circa 2002 and should program your 838. You will need to be booted to a pure DOS environment and thus, USB anything isn't supported in DOS.

Im pretty sure that might require something else than mcs2000 software.. I want to say a european variant as that was not a US model radio i believe.
