SR30C programming

[godskidz]

Yes Randy I tried the drivers Imonitor suggested.
Still when I connect the SR30 to the usb it doesnt show up in Device Mgr.

 

[godskidz]

I did program it by hand. Wasn't bad. I'm the type if something can do something I'll figure out how to do it.

Read the second line in my post #35...
What does it show... Does it show an unknown device?

 

[godskidz]

No Randy.

 

[RandyKuff]

That's weird... That means the computer does not see anything...
Did you try it in different ports?
If so... Could be the cable or the radio itself then... Maybe...
Any computer sounds like when you plug a usb device in?

 

[godskidz]

I got two usb ports and they both work.
I got wireless mouse/keyboard in one and the SR30C charges in the other.
It recognizes my BC246t and BCD996XT but not The SR30.

[godskidz]

I'll write to the fellow who I got it from and ask him if he used a pc to program it.

 

[godskidz]

No sounds at all.

 

[RandyKuff]

Sounds like the radio's port or the cable or both might be pooched...

Did not see in the manual anything about putting the unit in a certain mode...

 

[godskidz]

No it just says plug the usb in and a screen will come up on the pc with instructions.
I just PM the guy I got it off of.

 

[godskidz]

The cable charges fine. It shows charging on the screen.

 

[RandyKuff]

Same verbage I saw...
See what info you can get from who you bought it from...

 

[godskidz]

I asked him if he used software or programed it manually. I can't get it recognized.
Gotta wait for him to message me back.

 

[RandyKuff]

That could take awhile...

Keep us posted with what you find out...
Have a good evening...

Wait, so it *charges* from the USB port?

You have the scanner ON when you plug it in, right?

It could be the port on the scanner, but I think it's the cable. Some USB cables are charge-only and don't have the data lines connected. It could be that, or it could just be a bad cable. You can pick up a new one for $5-10. Just make sure it's a MINI USB, not MICRO.

 

[godskidz]

You too. Thanks for helping.

 

[RandyKuff]

If the 996 uses the mini usb connection, try the cable from it...

 

[godskidz]

996 is a little bigger.

 

[RandyKuff]

So the SR30C uses the micro then... Any other cables you have that you can try?

Does the 996 use the 9 pin com port on the back?
If yes... Then not the same...
Just looked at a pict of the back of the 996...
