[Repeater-Builder] Can't get Vertex VXR5000 to program

2010-09-08 Thread wspx472
I got this to work before but now, no joy. I am using CE8 software, have the correct cable, and an older DOS PC. I get either a box saying there was communication problems or it quickly flashes "Done!" but hasn't actually read the repeater. Is there some special trick I have forgotten?

26 acres would be equal to a square 1064 feet to a side. If this was perfectly square and you had a portable at opposite corners, the maximum distance situation, they would be 1500 feet apart. If you put a repeater in the exact center, the greatest range would then be 750 feet. Buildings would c

I think this comes down to personal preference. I know a lot of folks who will argue that one or the other is "better" but they both do what they are supposed to do. Some say there are a lot of falsing issues with PL and that DPL doesn't false. In actual use, I have heard both false. Some say th

Actually, that's not goofy at all. Quite common, actually to step up the rectified line voltage, then step it down again. I have encountered the same problem with out of production parts. Seems there are folks who attempt to buy up remaining quantities of obsolete parts and re sell them at a pre

[Repeater-Builder] CSI TP-163 Does it send reverse burst?

I can't find anything in the manual about. I'm not even sure it responds to reverse burst. Any one with TP-163 experience?

Thanks for the useful info. Very interesting. On a somewhat similar topic, we ran into a situation where the local Motorola shop sold a local entity a repeater and several portables using a DPL code that only certain models of Motorola have. We checked every Kenwood, Vertex, and even some other

[Repeater-Builder] Zetron 38A not sending reverse burst

I am trying to get a repeater going using a 38A and find that it doesn't send reverse burst. I thought I saw that it did in the manual but upon looking again, all I see is where it responds to reverse burst. Does anyone know for sure if it is supposed to send reverse burst? If so, how do I get i

I have a 38A and don't know the password. I have tried sending a DTMF digit for 15 seconds, shorting pins 3, 4 on the RS232 jack, and removed the EPROM and re inserted after reading that this worked. Now, it seems brain dead and won't even respond to RS232 input. Does anyone know a foolproof way
