Hey Rick,
You can format a floppy with / using an old DOS computer, and make a DOS boot disk. May be able to download one from bootdisks.com. Then insert the floppy with RSS and run it. Works for me. 73's Russ K4RCC From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick T Sent: Monday, January 14, 2008 1:40 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] GM300 - 433MHz? Thanks for the info guys... Sounds easy enough. 2nd question.... Will the DOS programming software work in a DOS window under XP? I have my suspicions that it won't. That means I need to convert one of my old machines to DOS only. (yuk)!

Remember also while using the "shift"method to fill in the entire freq area including the trailing zeros. Glenn W8AK In a message dated 1/13/2008 1:39:58 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] net writes: Rick Kevin is correct - you can try the "SHIFT Entry" method, except do NOT hold down the shift key when entering the decimal point. For example, a frequency of 433.1750 would appear as follows: $##.!&%) (notice the decimal). Should work OK for your application. But Kevin is correct - check the BatLabs pages first to be absolutely certain. 73, Mark - N9WYS _____ From: Repeater-Builder@ yahoogroups. com On Behalf Of Gmail - Home The answer is "YES" but you need to do a few things to get it there. Best would be to check out the information on www.batlabs. com <http://www.batlabs.com/> and click on the GM300 link. You need of course the Motorola programming software and interface, and when you want to program a new frequency, in your case 433Mhz, you have to hold the shift key down for the whole frequency, so it would be $##))). It's been awhile since I have done one, so I am only going off memory, thats why I suggest looking at Batlabs. Best of luck Kevin, ZL1KFM. ----- Original Message ----- From: w7vtm <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I have a Motorola GM300 that has a frequency range of 438MHz to 470MHz. Is it possible to program these radios down to 433MHz? Or, how low can these radios go? Thanks, Rick - W7VTM Start the year off right.
