Hello Group I have a few questions regarding this nine year old rpt. [NOS]
As old as it is, I am wondering if the RSS would have to be purchased from Motorola? I plan to use the rpt. in "Conventional" mode, even though it is "ASTRO" capable. I have the complete instruction manual[68P81095E05-B] for the rpt., and it appears that it is programmed by a "Null Modem" cable, connected to the front, or rear? This makes me believe that the cable would connect directly to the "Apporiate" speed computer, with NO RIB utilized. Is the software "Windows 98" type, or can later operating systems be used? Also, from what I read, the only "Hands On" tuning is the front end recieve helicals...the rest of set up is done with software? I sure am excited to get this rpt. in operation. I am thinking that RSS is going to be the biggest hurdle in getting the machine up and running. I would be interested to hear from anyone who has used this type of rpt., and learn before doing. I certainly do not want to "Blow" any modules! Thanks for any help and advice. Tim Hardy W7TRH Vashon Is. Wa.
