Batboard

Anyone with a suitcase programmer that's proficient in it's around that could program a PX300-S (The 10W VHF-HI MX300-S "Handie Talkie") for me? I've been given one that works great, I can tx / rx with Fire & Police Dispatch but a couple freq's have changed over the years since this radio was last used and there doesn't appear to be a local radio shop that's all that proficient with the suitcase programmers...

Now, there is an understatement.

Finding someone that is a pro with the suitcases are getting harder to come by, no less finding the proper adaptors.

Try http://www.brinkleyelectronics.com. He is active on this board can probably help you.

Andy's the man for the job.

I might note that there are several versions of the PROM module for these radios. The last version is reprogrammable but the others are one-shot and disposable after that. Thus there is the additional problem of getting a blank PROM if you don't have the re-usable version.

Way to go Andy! It's great having you here on the board.

The last time I had an MX PROM blown was in 1987 at a Motorola shop in D.C. $75 for the PROM and another $150 to program 12 channels. Thinking about it, even back then their programmer probably was probably sledge-hammered the following day. It's good to see Andy around. There aren't too many places left that even know what an MX (IMO a fine peice of sturdy electronic equipment) is AND that can actually programming one.
