Specta Zones

Post by fchrist16 »

Without going into details, I don't have the Moflag program but need to enable zones on a MLM6.15 board.

What is the exact bitbang spot for it?

You would do much better to obtain a codeplug that matches your radio that already has zones in it.
Then just clone the codeplug into your radio. Been there and tried to do what you want. I gave up and
found a codeplug and cloned it in. Then set about modifying the modes (channels) to do what I wanted.

I will give you a strong piece of advice in that you would do your self a big favor by setting up an Excel
sheet or something like that to try and keep track of what channels need to be in which zones and
what channels need to be in what scan list. It is hard to go back later and try to remember what
you did. Have a number of Spectra radios set up this way and it becomes almost impossible to try
and keep all that in your head. No way with close to 100 or so channels in the radios.

You get a max of 16 channels in a scan list. But you can have a different scan list for every channel.

Thanks Jim, that's what I was afraid of. Well in that case I guess it's time to look through the codeplugsupersite for a D44KMA7JA7BK radio.

As far as zones are concerned, all my radios are the same in the VHF range, CH1 = 146.52Mhz while 2-97 are AAR and 98-128 are repeaters. Each radio has each channel the same.

MLM Version 6.15 already has Zone capability.

It could be someone jammed the wrong codeplug information into yours.

BTW the D44KMA7JA7BK IS a UHF radio!

Might have been. Also the D44 was well noted before hand, thanks Will.
