Ok here is what I am running: A motorola MW800 computer and two astro spectra W4 radios, one uhf and one vhf. I have setup VRCH to control both radios. I have followed the button mapping in the VRCH manual. I have done this before with A9 and W9 models and never had an issue. I have VRCH setup for use with W4 heads and the buttons all mapped into VRCH :some buttons work, some don't at all, some do functions they shouldn't be assigned to, etc. For instance the channel up/down, volume up/down I get error beeps from the radio.

Has anyone tried using this with W4 heads before?

Jason

Would anyone with a W4 radio be willing to try VRCH with it for me and see if they have the same problem?

Jason

I suspect your problems stem from the fact the W4 uses rotary controls for the volume & channel selector, as opposed to buttons. But, I never used the VRCH, so I could be completely wrong.

Todd

Its designed for each individual control head so yes it should work, the fact it has rotary knobs has nothing to do with it.

Jason

Well I switch both radios to W7 heads (hardware and software wise) and tried vRCH with it. They both work fine. ALL buttons function as they should.

Anyone wanna trade a great condition W4 head for a W7 head?

Jason

You used to be able to download the VRCH.
I had a copy but that was pre Astro.
Is there a part number for the software and the manual or is it still downloadable somewhere?
I wonder if it run on my ML-900 and XTL5000 radio?

Its not made anymore. MCS2000, Spectra, Astro Spectra and Tetra are the only supported radios.

I still have a load of astro spectras but don't think Ill down grade.
I guess it's time to find out what the USB plug is on the XTL series.
