I'm trying to program the scramblers in a fleet of HT1250's. They were ordered with the 460 series Transcrypt boards. Our guy that does the Transcrypt programming of the rest of the fleet is unavailable for a couple of weeks and I really need to get these issued. I have the instructions and a programming box but I think they forgot to tell me what the four digit MAIN number is in the scrambler. I'm stuck with only being able to send it basic paging commands and it won't let me change any parameters without that number.
I'm hoping someone here has installed these in the 1250 before and Transcrypt issues the same default main number to all of the MO-80 series board from the factory.
I'm going to call them tomorrow but I would really like to get this started tonight.
HT1250 with Transcrypt Scrambler (HELP PLEASE ) if you can

- What radios do you own?: HT1550's, X9000's, CDM1550's
there is absolutely nothing you can do without the command codes and the master code. the only other thing is over the air programming thru transcrypt but i'm nost shure which ones are capable of it they can do it over the air for you. but if they didn't program the boards they won't know the codes either. you need to get your guy back to doing it.

I never check PM's so don't bother, just email me.
I won't reply to a hotmail, gmail, aol or any other generic free address, if you want me to reply use a real address.
STOP ASKING ME FOR SOFTWARE OR FIRMWARE, I JUST FORWARD ALL OF THE REQUESTS TO THE MODERATORS

I am doing the over the air way. I have a modem box and I made a Bendix/King cable for it so I can use an old BK as the transmit radio.
I have successfully edited the small things that don't require the module ID code like the unit ID number.
I have a Transcrypt Stealth25 portable and the software has the built in 460 editor. Since I could manipulate that radio and could create my own master codes just for it with it's own software I was able to then go back later on and over the air program it with the box using the master code I made for it. So, it looks like the box and the method I'm going about it works but the 1250's are locked out because I don't know their codes. I was hoping they were all sent from the factory with 0000 or whatever. It seems stupid to lock them up where even a person with the equipment can't program them.
It sounds like short of physically grounding the force download line and sending a force download command I am out of luck. I guess I will call them again tomorrow and see if they can look up the parameters that were programmed into the 1250 boards. The Motorola shop installed these then handed them to us and basically said they had no idea how they worked. I would have thought they got some sort of documentation from Transcrypt with the modules.
