MTX8000 Codeplug Coruption

[newtoscanning]

Hey there,

I just got a MTX8000 and I tried to download the codeplug off of it so i could reprogram in my own frequencies...

When I tried to download it it constantly prompted an error 'checksum error' try again.

Is this a problem with my computer...the radio...or the codeplug on the radio...

If it's the codeplug does anyone have one I could use as a template...

thanks


model # is H01UCC6DB3AB NX


p.s. I would like to use it on a Type II SmartZone

Are you running the DOS version or Windows version of programming software?? if you are running the DOS version you'll need to run it in a true dos environment and not in windows. Also if you are running the DOS version it is recommended you use a slow computer, Motorola recommends a 486.

one step forwards two steps back

Thanks 10-95... I had the software running on a windows 98 maching in a dos window, I restarted and was able to download the plugin in itself...however the code-plug that's on there is apparently too new for the software... I tried to use some of the codeplugs that are default on the install but none of them worked...Is there a way around this or does anyone have a codeplug I could get from them...

I much appreciate the help...

If you got the "code plug too new" message then what you need is a newer version of the mtsx programing software. You will need the version that the radio was programmed with or newer version.

What version of RSS are you using?

You can't run that in a dos window. Boot from a floppy and run the software from DOS.
