I have an old 386 SX 16 running DOS 6.2. I keep it around just for
these eventualities. 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.

It may not run well on that fast of a machine. remember that old
DOS software used clock pulses from the computer for timing. But it
might at least be worth a try. Let us know, Ric, If it DOES work OK
that way (DOS boot disk on fast machine)!!
I need to come up with some options for the future - I'm not sure
how much longer I can keep my old AMD K6-2/350 machine going. wink

Hey Rick,
You can format a floppy with / using an old DOS computer, and
make a DOS boot disk. May be able to download one from
bootdisks.com. Then insert the floppy with RSS and run it.
Works for me.

Thanks for the info guys... Sounds easy enough.
2nd question Will the DOS programming software work in a DOS
window under XP? I have my suspicions that it won't. That means I
need to convert one of my old machines to DOS only. (yuk)!

Remember also while using the shiftmethod to fill in the entire
freq area including the trailing zeros.

Kevin is correct - you can try the SHIFT Entry method, except
do NOT hold down the shift key when entering the decimal point. 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.

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 $##))). It's been awhile since I have done one, so I
am only going off memory, thats why I suggest looking at Batlabs.
Best of luck
Kevin, ZL1KFM.

I have a Motorola GM300 that has a frequency range of 438MHz
to 470MHz.
Is it possible to program these radios down to 433MHz? Or,
how low can
these radios go?
Thanks,

Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape in the new
year.
