Visar with no display?

[John G]

I was digging through a junk box the other day and found a Visar with no display and no channel select keys. I couldn't make out the model but it looked like it started with H05UCD. None of the Motorola visar manuals I have even mention a single frequency Visar. Has anyone out there seen one of these? What is the story?

[Jim2121]

can't make out the model number? I can tell you its in the 800Mhz. bandsplit. I don't recall a one ch. viser? Or we just never ordered them? 16ch. only page I have left is on the batlab homepage http://www.batlabs.com/visar.html I'm sure you were here!

These is this mention in the RSS manual, so there must be some differences. Not sure what though....

his prob is he found a Visar with no display

[Grog]

I know, I was just pointing out that the RSS manual makes a mention of it, don't have time to read further right now though.


Maybe it was a SP version and the manual mention was just in case someone got their hands on a non-display version?

true, at least you have the RSS manual, I was winging it from memory....

[Grog]

H05UCD6AA4DN is mentioned as "VISAR, 16 Channel, 800 MHz, no keypad". That's the only match for "H05UCD" I found so no luck there.


My vote is for SP

[RadioSouth]

Interesting variation, not a cataloged item but yeah either a SP or a A3,A2,A1 model. Like to see what it reads out as.

[Jim2121]

so John G! did you get it to work? Jim

[John G]

Thanks for all the replies. In trying to remember where it came from, I seem to recall a bubby giving it along with a non functional MTX8000 to me . If my somewhat foggy memory serves, he said he couldn't read it with either conventional or trunked software. He was always comming up with strange radios. I remember him having a Japanese format trunked Visar and some 180 MHz GP300s. I will try to see if I can get someone I know who has RSS to try to read it and report back.

[John G]

Conventional software says:"Radio model not supported." Trunked software starts to read then a box comes up saying "Checksum failure." My guess is that this is some special model or, most likely, someone tried to force a codeplug in. Controller part number is NTN7405A, RF board is NTN7404A. It gives a short "bloop" instead of "bleep" when powered on. PTT does nothing. Oh well, back to the junk box with it. I might plug the RF board up to a working controller to see if it works.
