Joe M;
I do not believe there has ever been a factory MLS 1
programming tool for PC based programming.. While you can program a
MLS 2 with the PC based MLS software, that software does not talk to
an MLS1.... You may be able to write a suitable eprom with an pc prom
burning tool set, that is another matter ( especially cloning) , or
if someone wrote a tool outside the factory....one may exist... but
not to my knowledge.....
I think if you know of something you need to tell us what,
not just keep claiming it's existence.....Your comments are
diametrically opposed with the experiences of many GE techs who have
been working on MLS1's and 2's for the last 10- 20 years......
As far as the radios requiring the suitcase, only the
MPD/MPA CONV and Rangr/Delta series had factory PC support and
Suitcase support.... maybe MVS and MCS but I think those were only in
PC support...
ALL the TMX 84/86xx series, TMX 82/83/85xx series,
Corona,Centura and Classic Series, CMX series, as well TPX, MPX,
S950/990 ( in stock GE form) Phoenix S,SX, PSX-SE and MLS1 required
the suitcase....
There are NOW tools to write to the Phoenix S,SX, Delta
Rangr etc...based on Xicor X2212 eeprom chip series available. But
not from GE et-al.....
The Factory MLS1 memory device was an eeprom... not a
prom.... although it was pin compatible with a uv prom.....2x16
series as I recall.... factory was 2816, could be replaced with 2716.....
If you have specific info otherwise it is news to me and many of us
here who have never heard of it.....
