Hi:

This question is for Will and others who
have R100's and may have ran into this problem.

I have several R100's; some from overseas, and ones that were marketed here in the US.

On a " Few " on them, even 25 Khz Models, I have been able to enter in the Split 12.5Khz
Channels. Some will accept it, some will not.

and they work very well ( at least in areas
where radio congestion is low )

The 12.5 Khz Models seem to be fine !

I would like to know if someone has taken the
12.5 Khz Model ( Read it ) and then tried to
dump ( Write ) the information back into a EEprom Model that was a 25 Khz Model originally.

I realize there are componet differencies between the two, but before I spend valuable
time addressing that issue, I would like to
know if anyome else has run into the same problem with the EEprom

Most of my R100's came from the time period
where the Receivers had a 20/25 Khz Bandwidth.

And dealing with the newcomers at Motorola, well they don't even know what a R100 is.

Monte, I will test that issue on some of my rental units. I may be an issue with the firmware in the microprocessor's ROM. Also is there a replacement eeprom unprogrammed?
I have worked up some modifications to the R100's for improved stability and audio processing among others.
