Well, everyone, I finally have my
external controller (CAT-300) configured and working on this machine. My
next task is to reprogram the frequency and PL options. I have a KPT-20
programmer, and the manual for it (and the repeater), but the programmer
manual is not what I would call intuitive.
Can anyone who has experience with
this animal give me some explicit directions on how to change the EEPROMS?
The repeater is currently on 462.155 (+5 Meg, with DPL) and I want to
move it to 444.550 (+5 with PL 114.8). The radio does not have a channel
change knob or channel display, so I assume it is only a single channel
repeater (although it appears the EEPROM doesn’t care about
that).
I have tried to fumble my way
through reprogramming this, but when I get to the VERIFY portion, I get a
failure message. It’s apparent I’m not doing something correctly, but
I’ll be damned if I can figure it out. The reprogramming and retuning is
the final issues I need to do before I can put this on the air, so I’m getting
anxious now that I’m close to the end.
Thanks so much!
