Hi Kevin,
The desense is a staticy reception of weaker signals( ie an HT at 25
miles) It had gotten worse as it started to affect strong signals too. If the
transmitter was turned off, the repeater could hear just fine. Problem is
intermittent and often followed a rainy day. We replaced

I have tried using DOSBox on our WinXP, however have had ZERO luck on the
serial port recognition. Fromw hat I heard, the emulator will not recognize
serial ports. Is that why you have resorted to the USB dongle? I cant remember
if DOS ever recognized
Actually this is on topic.
Tim - can you relay to me, how your friend has his serial port set up to work
with his DOSBox? My efforts were in vain. I think perhaps my XP Machine is too
fast and modern? Only a theory.

I can't answer the rest but this I can.

I think freedos has support for usb devices. It's an open source clone of
dos. It works for programming some radios in my experience but I never tried
the usb support for a usb-serial adapter.

If your computer will boot to a Thumb Drive, configure
the thumb drive to boot dos and run from the external
drive when you want to program legacy radios.
I don't even bother to slow my fast laptop down when
programming old radios (Syntors, etc). But some software

I'd still start with changing the cable and getting all LMR-400 (or similar)
out of the system - no jumpers, etc.
There are people who will tell you that they've gotten away using this type
of cable, but the manufacturers admit it's not a low PIM cable. And I've
seen it cause problems time and
There should be a place on the battery from a small drain tube so that if it
vents it can be directed outside the

Hey John,
All you have to do is edit the configuration file. You see the location of the
configuration file when DOSBox starts. There are pretty plain comments in there
as to how to set it up. Going from memory it was something like this:
serial1 = directconnect realport:com1

Brian,
Yes, probably. The coils have different impedances, and the armatures have
different masses, but they are close enough that in most cases they are
interchangeable. That said, Motorola did make them different for a reason-
most likely that one was more sensitive as a vibrasponder, and the
601 - 700 of 36261 matches
