Motorola Visar - help with programming

[michaelscoofield]

Hello,

as collector of Motorola radios I acquired long time ago Motorola Visar too.
I found the good battery for this radio now so I would really like to program the radio and use it.
Many of Motorolas I programmed already but I never did it in case of Visar.
Could someone try to guide me which software (CPS) and RIB-less cable should I buy and where?
I can see many of them on eBay but I am a bit lost.
No DOS machines available just 64-bits PCs but no problem to use RS232 to USB adapter for me.

Motorola Visar is H05RDH9AA7DN - 16channels UHF1 range model please.

Many thanks in advance.

You will need a DOS computer, HT1000 RSS, a RIB, & the Visar programming cable. Some people trick newer XP computers to work, but I don’t think a 64 bit machine would qualify.

I thought that the XP Operating System was only 32-Bit.

If you are unable acquire the necessary hardware, etc. to program your Visars, I can do that for you. I have several Visars myself. Let me know if I can help.

Not to hijack your thread, but I have the exact same model. If you don’t mind saying, where did you source your battery from? I’ve seen lithium ions on the ‘bay that come with a wall-wart charger. Is that where you got it? Thanks

There are several sources for Visar batteries. Batteries America, Cut-Rate Batteries, and others. Some are 1200 Mah and some are 2100 Mah. Don't be fooled by comparing prices unless they're the same capacity.

Well I purchased it here: MOTOROLA Visar | AVACOM - baterie & akumulátory
for about $25 but I guess it is far away from you as it is in Czech Republic, EU...
