• To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:

    Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.

    If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.

    To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.

    The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.

    For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).

    This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

Have you tried reading the radios, and writing the just-read codeplug back into the radio without changing it?

You're allowed no more questions until you certify that you're running RSS under real DOS. And that doesn't mean a DOS window, or a command prompt under windows. I mean Microsoft DOS.

Also, you DO realize that you'll need system keys to program those radios onto a trunking system, right?

Restarting WIN98 into it's integral DOS mode may not work. Get DOS 6.22 or earlier. All that chatter about using real DOS is true. There are no shortcuts, there are no work arounds. Unless you use actual DOS, your results are going to be iffy. It may work for some people on some computers, but there are no guarantees. Quit screwing around and get real DOS. I CAN'T STRESS THAT ENOUGH!

Ok... The FAIL 01/82 is a checksum error in the codeplug. It can happen when the radio features don't match the code plug, among other causes. Were you trying to bit bang the radio at all? Based on your various errors, especially the error 8, I'm of the belief that there are details you haven't shared with us yet.

The usual fix is to read the codeplug in the radio, then write it back in to the radio without making any changes. I can cause, and clear a FAIL 01/82 at will by modifying the eeprom on the MLM board. If that doesn't work, you could try force feeding the codeplug of the working radio into the non-working radio. You may end up with a FAIL 01/82 again, and then read, and re-write THAT codeplug and see if it clears. BUT ONLY DO THAT WHEN YOU HAVE DOS.

Selective inhibit means your radio was stunned by the administrator.

BTW your radios ID has most likely been logged as a rouge radio.

Are you trying to track a trunking system with auto affiliation enabled and your radio is not registered ?

From the Motorola smartnet guide.
Selective Radio Inhibit
Selective Radio Inhibit addresses the issue of a radio that has been
misplaced or stolen by allowing managers to remove any unauthorised
radio from operating on the system. Once inhibited, the radio is
inoperable until it is recovered, at which time it can be easily reinstated
back into the system within seconds.
Selective Radio Inhibit is a valuable asset for helping control security
in your system. Activation of this feature helps ensure that
“unauthorised people” cannot use your radio to monitor or interrupt
important communications. The radio will be rendered virtually useless
to an unauthorised user since it can no longer transmit or received
audio. If your business is providing a radio service for fee, then
selective radio inhibit can help maximise your ability to collect errant
accounts.

You can get "selectively inhibited" messages from a bad connection between the radio and computer. I've had it happen to me before too.

That's why people jump up and down screaming, saying don't use the ribless cables and anything but real DOS. They're not kidding.

Muxlow: We went thru this with you in December '97. In the current vernacular: SSDD.

What part of MS-DOS 6.22 do you not get?

In review:
1. MS.DOS 6.22-for gods sake, you can download it off the internet these days!
2. real RIB and cable. I told you this last year!

With the last version of the RSS that you have, your computer should be OK.

If you aren't happy with our advice, go to Batlabs. I hear they're really helpful there.
