Looking for a codeplug for a trunked UHF (449-470) Maxtrac

Post by sq5ag »

Hi!

I've got a trunked, UHF Maxtrac that I would like to reanimate, but I cannot find any matching codeplug for such a strange model. Anybody could help me please?
I've tried to blank the logic board and reinitialize it, but I can't find any matching model number in the list displayed in the RSS.

The model number is: D34MWA2GF6AK
The logic board is the extended one, with the 16-pin accy connector.
The firmware part number is: FVN5445B (at last that's what the sticker on the EEPROM is showing).

Thanks!

Interesting....
I do have a Maxtrac with a SJI chip on the masked board...
But yours looks different...

Moto says;
1. Item Number. FVN5445D * Item has been cancelled

FIRMWARE V62.05
Unit of Measure: 1 EA



Are you trying to make it a trunking unit again?
If so, are you using Trunking maxtrac (maxtracs.exe) to initilialize it? And yes, I think you would need a codeplug to put into it...

Or else, you can make it a conventional...

Well, I don't really need trunking. In fact I just need to program one conventionnal channel in it.

Actually I would like to use this unit to build a cheap ASTRO-capable repeater, like some people here have done it already, so I don't need any bells and whistles here.

I'm looking for a trunking equipped codeplug just because the firmware seems to reject everything that is conventionnal only (continuous low-tone beep after the power-up), but if there is an easier way I'm interested.

Thanks!
