ok, nothing worked. I checked the VCO and the voltage is always at 5.2V also when I change the value.
I think there's maybe something wrong with the eprom programming. When I create a HEX or a BIN file with the same datas, they look different in my programmer software (hex = intel hex). As I said before, I use 27C64 eproms, so I think I have to switch of switch 8 of the DIP-switch. In my units there is the T800-07 memory board installed for switching the cannels via the TS0089 panel. Is there something I have to look for with this board ? 73 Bernd DM5BM --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, "Bernd Maestling" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Thanks Ed, I'll try later. > > I can also program with -20 modules the right channels. > The software is giving up a warning about frequencies > but it'll generate the files anyway. > > 73 > Bernd > > --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, wa6rqd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Bernd Maestling wrote: > > > Hello, > > > I hope somebody can help my cause I'm getting nuts > > > with programming a Tait series I repeater. > > > > > > I programmed a few dozend times the 27C64 eproms but > > > nothing works.
