can't program acc plug on GM300

Post by petem001 »

Hi I have a GM300 uhf 8 channel (modified for 16 channel) on wich I just can't program the 16 pin connector..

First I read the radio (got to modify my gm300 mdf file...)

then I go to main menu the F4 to modify the codeplug.

from there I can change the mode (F5) from there I see the freq and all the stuff..

And I can go to F2 for radio wide configuration.

If I am not crazy, on that section I should see the option to program the 16 pin acc pins. but I just see the info on the radio and 3 option (on the right)

I got that radio already moded for 16 chan and no original codeplug.

Am I crazy if I say that the codeplug is corrupt and I wont be able to fix that?

I really need to program those pîn cause I got this radio to replace a maxtrac 300 in a desktrac repeater, and the acc connector is very important while using it in repeater mode.

thanks for your help

Pierre

The lower tier GM300 radios do not have programmable accy jacks.

If you make it the TX radio in the repeater, you shouldn't need to program the pins at all. Pin 3 is the external PTT by default, and pin 2 is tx audio input by default as well.
