RCA BR-250 UHF Handhelds

[ps2chiper]

For those of you still following this thread...

I was able to get my hands on the Hytera software and bought a cheap cable on eBay.

I had two of the BR250U radios from my customer, one of them worked just fine with the software as-is and the 31010 password worked.

The other gave the "Error Radio Model Name"

After some serial port "sniffing" between the two radios and some modification to the configuration files, I was able to modify the settings to get it it read both radios, however, the newer radios have a different password.

I tried a few different obvious choices (Their zip code, parts of the phone number, etc), however, I wasn't able to find one that worked.

SO, if anyone happens to know what password they started using after 31010, that would be great!

Thanks!
Dale

Could you give me some help with the "Error Radio Model Name" issue? What configuration files did you modify?

Bringing an old thread back from the dead... I have a new customer that has about 50 of these that I need to reprogram for a pair of repeaters we installed for them. Sending all 50 of them back to discounttwo-way seems a little ridiculous..

The HYT website requires an account to download the software -- does anyone have a link they can send for the HYT software that works with these?

A pinout for the programming cable would also be handy if available, on the off-chance I already have one that is pinned out the same..

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi Dale,
Do you mind sharing what you did to the configuration files to make this work?

Thanks much.
