What programming cable for XTL5000 03 head

Post by tfr501 »

Does anyone know what programming cable is needed for a XTL5000 with a 03 control head? It doesn't like my HKN6184A cable.

Thanks.

Yup, thats the right cable.. Plug it into the TIB and as long as the correct com port is selected, it should work..


What kind of errors are you getting, and what are the specs of your radio and CPS version?

If your radio has old firmware, programming it with the latest CPS will not add any new features unless you have the latest firmware to match..

IIRC the mid, and low power TIB's will not support USB, and you need to use the RS232 cable (HKN6183A) to the TIB, or use an O5 head with the USB cable.

Thats right, totally forgot about that..

HKN6183 is the RS232 O3/O5 cable..
