Two questions for everyone. First off, I am trying to mod my MVA (Convertacom) to handle NiMH batteries. I have looked at the repeater-builder website and found the schematic. I opened up my MVA and there is no silk screening on the board to identify the components. I began to attempt to trace the circuit but that might take eons.
So, does anyone have a picture or can tell me where R45 is located so that I might change it to the appropriate value? Actually if I could just identify which IC is labeled as U4 that would work too. I can surely find pin 9 from there. Secondly, I have run into a programming problem. I have HT600's, P200's and a newly acquired MT1000. Went to try and program the MT1000 on my 286 and received "Serial Bus Access Error 003" on the screen when trying to read the radio. I checked batteries, cables, and the like and no change. I then tried to read one of my other radios that I had programed before and received the same error. So then I tried my 386 computer. Same error. I then tried a different RIB. Same error. Anyone have any ideas?
