R100 HELP NEEDED

ckh · Post by **ckh** » Tue Apr 26, 2005 8:35 am

I have a UHF R100 , but it's TX CHECKSUM ERROR, anyone have the UHF 450-470's codeplug ? I need that codeplug to reprogramming my R100.
my email : [email protected]
Thank you very much!

Unfortunate as the RSS does not support code plug files. You can neither save or read a code plug to/from a file.

A couple of BatBoard members are currently working on a BIN for use with a EEPROM 'burner'...... Stay Tuned!!

You can edit the RSS into a master (lab) version.This allows you to program the radio with a UHF default.
The other way is to program the eeproms dirctly with an EEPROM programmer.

You can find the hex values for the R100 RSS on my homepage.
Also an EEPROM programmer is on my downloadpage.
It´s very easy to build it.

Stay-Con and I are going to read the two chips on saturday with an prom reader. Stay tuned.

I never tested it on a R100 but when I use "select device" before,I can
edit some data with the "2"!

I did not want to 'smoke' the few good EEPROMs that I have in my test R100's.

You should not use EEPROM´s with a good codeplug, to test!
Use good EEPROM´s with checksum error.

That did not work, I could read the EEPROM but could not edit. The software ignores the '2' pressed to go to the edit screen.

Thank yous to:
Andreas for the EEPROM programmer and software.
Andy for the EEPROM images.
And Will for stopping by with them this afternoon.

Monday I'll see if t his was all an effective exercise. Tomorrow I've got a pile of "Honey do's" I have to attend to at the house.

I can not goto your homepage, what is your homepage's address ?

Sucess!!! Jeff made a couple of cloned EEPROMS and I had a chance to test them in one of my R100's today.

They work just fine and I can reprogram them with the regular R100 RSS.

I'm beginning to suspect that when the data in one of the original Motorola MicroChip 14B02 EEPROMs in the R100 go "south" they aren't just corrupting data, the chip itself has suffered some internal failure.

The good news is that a 24C01 chip works fine as a replacement part.

And course, there's the issue of "Device Not Ready" when you try to read or write to the R100.

Sigh...

I found this from another posting on a yahoo discussion group.
Moslo, for making your newest and greatest $3500 computer act like the brain damaged newest and greatest $3500 computer available in 1988.

More on this later as I head off to work for another fun filled session of banging my head against the desk.

Got to remmber that the R100 RSS does not like any Bill Gates stuff, IT NEEDS pure DOS 6.xx or older operating system on a slooooow computer. I ran it on 8086 computer with DOS 5 for many years. .

Yeah, Moslo4Biz seems to help, but it's going to take a LOT of fiddling around with the parameters to get it working right.

The Toshiba T2130CT laptop seems to be happy with it though. A 486-DX2/66 with 24 Meg of memory running Windows 98 SE. Although I boot it up with "Command prompt only."

Using the images you provided last weekend, I made up several RX and TX chips. Dropped them into the DOA command boards and they read and write properly now.

Any idea to edit Rx Tx EEPROM Repeater R100?
I have hex file from rx & tx EEPROM.

The information for the R100 boards seems to be some hashed code.
I haven't tried to figure it out.

Will? You there?
