M1225 programming out of band

[RidgeRunner]

I found this old thread http://batboard.batlabs.com/viewtopic.p ... 55&start=0
I tried doing what the last post said, but I do not seem to see anything in hexwork shop that resembles the string of code that the base converter gives me. I am trying to change the 150.000 limit to 144.000.

thank for the help!

Why don't you try putting in a 144 channel with the shift trick? Remember to NOT shift for the decimal.

Yup, the shift trick works great on 1225's..

I only have access to version 4.0 and that trick does not work on 4.0.

figured it out, I had to modify the 1225.dll file, I was trying to modify the codeplug. Once I did the .dll I was all set.

May I suggest that you post exactly how you modified that file? Around here we all rely on each other for "fixes" and details of various hacks. Thanks.

I'm sorry I was at work and I blasted out a quick reply, so here goes.

For version 4.0 M1225
1. Fire up hex workshop
2. go to your file folder where your m1225 software is kept and open file 1225rss.dll
3. now in hex workshop go to tools and click base converter set byte order to "intel" and data type to "unsigned long"
4. under the decimal type in 150000000 you should get in hex 80d1f008 record this number
5. now type in under decimal 144000000 you should get 00449508 record this number
6. go to edit and click replace, type into the find box 80d1f008 and replace box type 00449508 you should only find one instance of this.

Now you have a radio that will cover 144-174, if you follow my instructions this should work for other bands.
