Programming model L99DX+339L

[SgtBoleware]

I'm having issues connecting to a radio.

The model number is L99DX+339L

My setup is: Computer-->IBM to RIB Cable-->RIB-->RIB to Spectra Cable-->Radio

Computer has vista, using the most current software, radio is powered, RIB is powered, but i'm unable to read the radio.

I had no issues with programming our XTS 3000's, 5000's and 2500's yesterday so i'm not quite sure what i'm doing wrong.

If anyone could provide help/feedback, it'd be highly appreciated!

Thanks!

Vista huh?

Spectra? and your using Vista right?
Why don't you try with XP and see what happens. The problem might be that the software wasn't written for Vista

I'm using Vista on my desk top and I was able to program them. But on my laptop it isn't reading. So I'm not sure using Vista is the problem, we've been using it for quite a few years now and we've reprogrammed the radios before.

First time on the laptop?
Laptops have power saving setting that sometimes shut off power to the serial port. Theres sometimes a few things in BIOS that need to happen to make sure things run smoothly.
