• 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.

SLR Repeater error on log: Fan Alarms

Yesterday went to check up on a SLR repeater and read the log with RDAC. The errors shown in the log, aside from a few AC mains power loss ones where mostly related to fans as in "Modem Fan alarm" and "Power Supply Fan alarm". Has anybody seen these errors? Other than that, repeater seems to be still operating normally.

Assume these errors mean fans might be on their way out? This repeater usually has substantial use, and has been in service for about 5-6 years in a -mostly- environment controlled location, meaning sometimes the A/C cooling goes out so temps raise a bit back to regular ambient until it gets fixed. Errors logged almost on a daily basis anywhere around 2-3 to 8-12 times between "Detected" and "Released" status. The log entries I managed to read only go back about 2 weeks, but I think the memory space for the log might limit the amount of entries so probably errors may go further back in time.

Any information on this would be welcomed. Thank you.

You mean just some dust accumulation on the fan blades could be causing this error?
Out of curiosity, have you had to do this yourself on a SLR with same issue?
Thank you.
