Which Programmer or RPM version do I need?

[RK3AAG]

Hi all!

Come across with P7170 aka System one. Here is RadioMaint data (attached).

Tried ProGrammer 8, ProGrammer 18, RPM 4 and PRM 10. But none of them is working

PG 18 says that radio was programmed with later SW version. But RPM 4, that radio or Flash/DPS code is not compatible with this software.

Which ProGrammer or RPM version do I need? I want to read it before change something. Don't want to write my created from scratch set.

Thanks!

It's right there in the screen you provided.

RPM Version# in Hexidecimal 0x14, so none of your versions of RPM are close.

Shall I convert it to DEC and subtract 14 after that? So, RPM version I need is 6?

Huh

No, you need RPM version 20 or later, I don't know what version RPM is at now.

You need ProGrammer R20, not RPM 20. Use R18 and blow a new personality in.

It's bull****. There is no RPM 20 at all, because RPM 10 was released just 1 year ago.

Thanks! Can I ask you, how you calculated it?

This used to be the rule of thumb that I went by:

Personality revision 31 indicates the radio was last programmed with version 17. (Revision minus 14 equals Programmer version). For RPM-programmed radios, 50 means RPM v. 1, 51 means RPM v. 2, 52 means RPM v. 3, etc.).

Now, that being said... I have an XG-75 beside me that was programmed with RPM14 and the personality version is 90.

Yes, I know this rule. In my case 22-14=8. ProGrammer 8? Really?

 

[RK3AAG]

Ok, read it with ProGrammer V20.
