Hi again,

I went to read my HT1000 that was giving me problems before to try to try the tips that were posted, and this screen comes up:

I get the box that says:
"READING CODEPLUG"
but then it will beep and a yellow box will come up that says:

"RIB Port Communication Unsuccessfull
Probable Causes:
TSR Brackground Program Interface
Temporary High Noise/Traffic Level
Please Correct. Press any key to continue."

What do I do to fix this???
Thank you again in advance

What type of computer are you running the RSS on and what operating system are you using. It sounds like another program is competing for your serial port and could explain your problem from before if you managed to corrupt the codeplug.

If you are using straight DOS, check your autoexect and config sys files. Sounds like a soundcard or antivirus program for dos is loading up.

Try this... on boot up, hold down the shift key and it will load dos without anything. Then try running RSS. The bad part is, the RSS may not run due to memory restrictions. Depends on how the RSS was written to work.

Man, I haven't heard of a TSR program in years now...

I haven't seen that message in a while either. Problem is that your radio probably has a corrupt codeplug from the first attempt. It is usually recoverable with the Jedi radio if the radio will power up and generate a fail tone.

Disable all TSR's and anything else you have in the background and dump your archive back to the radio. If you don't have a copy, drop me a private message with your e-mail and I'll send you one.

I got that exact same message 1 time! I put some distance btw. the radio & rib, (which the rib was laying 6 inchs away from the radio.)I just move'ed them as far apart as the cable would let me! No problems reading or writing to it!

I did forget to say, I did have a Toshiba Notebook on DSL connected to the Net "at the time" next to a 486 laptop which was hooked into the rib, then in the radio. So when I saw that message. "Temporary High Noise/Traffic Level" (key words for me!) I shut down the Toshiba..the rest you read above! so where was the "rf" leaking? Ed

I've seen that error several times, on older Pentium computers (75-133 MHz) running Windows 95A. You would boot into the crappy DOS through the shut down menu, and almost always get that error on Jedi series radios. The trick is to try & use a boot disk (http://www.bootdisk.com, if you don't have one), or try copying & using the Win98 "MS-DOS Mode for Games with EMS & XMS Support" shortcut located in the C:Windows directory on Win98 computers.

Hi again,

I GOT IT TO WORK, FINALLY!!!

I tried all of the suggestions, i turned off all my background programs and stretched the radio out as far as the cables would reach, it read the radio perfectly on the first try and wrote the codeplug perfectly, again, on the first try.

Thank you all for the very helpfull tips,

I have the same problem with my MTX-9000. My 486 laptop makes so rf that I have to stretch it as far as I can from the computer. I also take the antenna off.

The "background" error usally means the radio is busy doing something and did not respond to the (programming) Buss. I usally turn the radio off and then back on to clear it of scan and ect. That usally works.
