My place of work is letting me have 10 Vertex Standard VX - 354 radios as long as I can show that I have re programmed them to run on PMR446 rather than their private licensed frequency. I'm new to this but have a high technical ability and have re programmed other micro controller devices with in the past via serial interface.
If somebody could point me in the right direction for the following questions it would be greatly appreciated:
1. Am I allowed to reprogram these radios myself?
2. What is the most compatible operating system to use for programming these radios?
3. What cable should I purchase and where in the UK is the best place to get one from?
4. Would direct serial be better then USB - Serial?
5. What software should I use and where should I get it from?
Many thanks in advance.
