Min IV Programming Issue

Post by young_skywalker »

Hey,
I have all the proper programming software and cradle for my Min IV SV single channel. I hook it all up and read the codeplug but when I try to write the information it says, "Serial Communication- Data Transmission Error!"

I checked my Com ports and updated drivers....I checked the settings in the software for the COM port and set my port at the baud rate it needed....what now?

I had that same problem. My issue was caused by the pager not getting enough contact with the pins. To solve I would press down on the pager while reading and/or programming while it was in the cradle. Try that and maybe that might fix your problem.

Thanks for the response. The error message would only pop up only after I would write the pager. The weird thing is that is would send and write the codeplug even though it said there was a communication error. If I re-read the pager after the write, the programming is changed. Thats why I've been dealing with it for +years now because it is able to write the pagers.
