Pyramid SVR200 programming through RIB

Post by xr4ti »

Hello -

I'm trying to program an SVR-200 using a KAWA RIB and the DOS version of the programming software. The CPU light is blinking, which according to the manual indicated proper CPU operation. However the programming software is saying 'SVR200 not found' when I try to read the unit. I'm using the batlabs diagram for the cable, Pin 15 to the tip of the programming jack, Pin 11 to the sleeve. (Connecting to the jack hidden behind the front panel of the unit). Is there a diagram out there for the 'official' FY-1 cable that they sell? TIA

This thread can be deleted, I re-checked my solder connections, and after doing that the software read the radio A-OK. Thanks.

Really?

You don't have a computer with Windows 98 on it?

The DOS version is no longer supported.

The windows version runs just fine on everything except Windows 3.1 or 3.11.

Hello I found the Windows version. I have a old computer that has windows 98 on it but no network, USB or CD drive it only has a 3.5 floppy. At 3 MB download makes it hard to get it installed.
