I wanted to let everyone know that I have successfully tied in my Sony laptop for the first time to my 900 MHz MSF5000 Digital repeater with the Motorola software, RIB and cable I recently received. I admit it was a little scary at first, but after I found the screen that had the repeater freq's on it, I really felt like I had accomplished something. It was not hard at all to navigate thru all the pages to find things. I did not save anything yet, but did make sure the repeater conditions were still the same when I started after I unplugged the computer, etc. from the MSF. I definitely am going to get an external power source for the RIB so as not to rely on the internal battery.
The computer I used was a "not so new" Sony Vaio laptop with an AMD Duron processor (1 GHz). The RAM is 28 MEG. Roger W5RD
