Hi Andy, Thanks for your reply...
If I have to work with the eprom adapter I might get that far... but I'm trying to stay original in this project. I've found an easy cheap source of the original proms so I'm stocked up just fine. I just want to program the new ID'er proms. Yeah I've seen the adapters for the Syntors and MCX radios. You, "rfguys" and a few others have them available after-market. RFguys on ebay sells a drop-in eeprom replacement for the prom (with the programmer). But the software is set up for Motorhead Radio stuff, which is not helpfull for my id'er task. If I can find a prom programmer... I'll be able to burn proms for all the vintage id'er units I have.... autocode, CW-50, spectrum repeater yadda yadda... still on the hunt... cheers, skipp > "Andy Brinkley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Skipp - > I would suggest building an adapter rather than buying a prom > burner. > The cost of proms (when you can find them) has gone out the roof. > E-mail me direct if you are using 82s129s or 82s131 Proms as I > have an adapter already built to handle these proms (they were > used in the Motorola Syntor and MCX-100 radios) > > See: http://www.brinkleyelectronics.com/adp/adp_fr.htm > > You can also build the adapters by hand, all it requires is a > header and a socket and some time matching the input and output > pins.
