HT1000
Hi everyone,
I have some problem. I can not read the data from HT1000.
Software is R03.03.00....cable is from ebay....RIB is same as I'm using for the TH1550... What could it be a problem?
Thanks
Sergey

- What radios do you own?: A few! Most I sign out!
:
This topic has been covered alot.. Also try the "search" icon on top of the page..try "HT1000 programming"
I come up with 195 entries...ex: http://batboard.batlabs.com/viewtopic.p ... rogramming
at any rate, you need a DOS pc, and a slow cpu (486) max!
but if your stuck again post away your questions.....

actually, the newest version of HT1000/Visar RSS will run just fine on a P3/P4 AS LONG AS YOU ARE RUNNING TRUE MS-DOS (not WinXP, 2000, etc). Even Motorola says so in there RSS compatibility matrix.
I have a small partition on my Win2K box which is a 933MHz PIII which has MS-DOS 6.22 and is formatted FAT and run HT1000, MTSX and MCS2000 and they work fine everytime.
It's the older RSS that has issues with timing/UART such as Saber, System Sabers, STX, Maxtrac, Analog Spectra, etc where you need to keep your good ol 486 SX 25 around.

A lot of the 'newer' dos software will work fine in a DOS window under Win 95/98. But once you go above that, forget it.

Them: "A very nice CB at 900Mhz speed!"

Not recommended at all, although even Motorola goes to lengths to explain how to try & do it in the 'readme' files included in certain RSS packages (latest maxtrac RSS for instance).nmfire10 wrote:A lot of the 'newer' dos software will work fine in a DOS window under Win 95/98.

I've tried it over the years. Often you will get the "TSR" error, especially with the Jedi radios. Some RSS packages work better than others. GP300 seems to be a little more forgiving. However, when it does work, you'll notice a significant drop in the read/write speed as the program fights Windows for control of the COM port...never a good thing.
For some reason, most of the paging software doesn't have any issue at all running in a DOS window or Command Prompt, even under WinXP.
Apparently the later Quantar RSS can run through a DOS window even under XP as well, although I've never tried it.

Welcome to the /\/\achine.
When our CAD computers at work were still running Win95, I used it for the MTS2000, HT1000, Visar, & GP300 for years without a single error. Of course it is 'not recommended'... So is having food and drink in front of the computer... how many of us drink 7 gallons at a time of coffee/soda/water/beer/vodka in front of the computer regardless? (I've toasted one keyboard and HDD already that way, probably won't be the last).
On the other hand, I can't program a Spectra without my old-as-dirt DOS only laptop and I have to turn off all the caching in BIOS or it fails the read as soon as it starts. If I want to use for anything else, I have to go back to bios and turn the caching back on or it takes forever to do a simple task.
Some of my Kenwood stuff is more forgiving than others. It will run in Win2K believe it or not.

Ah yes, but at least eating food in front of the computer you have some control over. There's no control over the read/write process in a DOS window, so YMMV.
Yep, I had the most success with the DOS window in Win95. As soon as we went to Win98, it was a whole lot less compatible.
The Kenwood stuff I find will work though a window most of the time too.
