I have a program I wrote for the UHF version that will generate the bin files for the tone eprom and the frequency eprom. I recently aquired a VHF model and am going to write the same for it. I have not spent the time to figure it out yet but the work I did on the UHF will make that pretty easy Tim, what band is yours?

I wrote a spreadsheet program that would calculate the eprom data for both VHF and UHF units and have since that time used it with half a dozen radios. If and when I escape the mid-Atlantic blizzard and get home, I can send you the spreadsheet or do the calculation for you. If you want me to burn the eproms, I can do that for you as well.

I use several in mobile and base applications. I really am impressed with the audio. I like the fact they use a "Com-Spec" tone board, controlled by a 2716 EPROM. > > For years, I have been asking if anyone had programming info for the frequency EPROM (2716), and the "PL" EPROM (2716). I had a fellow program mine, and lost track of him. Now, I have to change some frequencies and "PL" tones......so does anyone have capability to program the two EPROMS for the TAC310SX (TACTEC)(McCORMICK)?
