RE: [Repeater-Builder] GM300 programing question

[Eric Lemmon]

Brian,   Try testing the radio with a hand mike plugged into the front, with the accessory connector unplugged.  Sometimes, the accessory connector pin assignments get restored to a default pattern during an incomplete write cycle, thereby making the radio unresponsive to inputs or controls from a RICK.   If you are using a clone RIB, it's possible that the TTL voltages going to the radio are at the ragged edge of being out of tolerance.  If using a genuine Motorola RIB, try using a separate 12 VDC power supply for it, rather than the internal battery. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, March 25, 2006 9:05 AM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Repeater-Builder] GM300 programing question Hi All!  OK, its silly question time!   Background:   I use a number of UHF Maxtracs for GR300 type operations, links what have you.  I have had no problems programming the little buggers with a pentium 1 233 computer (maybe its a little fast of a computer)   I recent pick up a few UHF GM300's.  The 1st radio I was able to read, change, program all 8 modes with no problems.  I did some on air QSO's.  All was well except I programmed a friends repeater wrong..... went back in changed the FREQ, saved it back to the radio, it beeped at me like normal but now it is now DOA no TX/RX.  The radio powers up, I can go thought all 8 modes (it originally had only 2) but no TX or RX.   I rebooted the computer, reread the radio (all 8 new modes were there) programmed it again, beeped like normal..... still dead!  GRRRRRR!    Yes, I'm aware that Maxtrac and GM300 software is different.  I'm aware of the speed issues, hence the concern that the pent 1 233mhz being a little fast, but I've had no problems with the Maxtracs.  The radios are beeping like normal at the end of the reads/programing, and I'm not getting any error codes.   Any ideas?
