I built it in the early 1990s from a motherboard cast off in a law office upgrade. Still works great. I have an old DTMF dialer I wrote in basic and compiled into an exe file, and it runs better on the older 28.8 modems. > > I do worry about floppies becoming obsolete. > > 73, > Paul, AE4KR > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: n9wys > To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Monday, January 14, 2008 11:30 AM > Subject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] GM300 - 433MHz? > > > > It may not run well on that fast of a machine. remember that old DOS software used clock pulses from the computer for timing.

For example, a frequency of 433.1750 would appear as follows: $##.!&%) (notice the decimal). Should work OK for your application. But Kevin is correct - check the BatLabs pages first to be absolutely certain. > > 73, > > Mark - N9WYS > > > ---------------------------------------------------------- -------- > > From: Repeater-Builder@ yahoogroups. com On Behalf Of Gmail - Home > > The answer is "YES" but you need to do a few things to get it there. > > Best would be to check out the information on www.batlabs. com and click on the GM300 link. > > You need of course the Motorola programming software and interface, and when you want to program a new frequency, in your case 433Mhz, you have to hold the shift key down for the whole frequency, so it would be $##))).
