Hi, i have a few spectras that i want to use, i have 2 900 spectras and a uhf spectra, i am trying to mod the rss so that i can program theses radios, i am having a difficult time, understanding the first part of the how to directions on this site. I dont understand how you use the two dos programs to change spectra1.exe, because normally when you open spectra1 in hex workshop each colum has 4 digits but batlabs shows each colum as having 2 digits. i am stumped at that point. i understand the rest of the directions. Can someone help?

it should only have 2 digits in each column. try winhex and see what that does for you. do the 4 digits still have the same corresponding offset address? i just opened that file up on mine and it's in pairs.

No, the numbers are different. I will try winhex and see what happens

Well i found a cool free hex editor, but i must have a different version or something, because some stuff does not match, and my rss is the same version as what batlabs says. do you have an already modded version i can use?
Thanks, Jeff

Ahem...you just asked for RSS. Modifiying it yourself is one thing, asking for any part of it is strictly prohibited.
I'm leaving the thread open so people can continue to help you, but please refrain from asking for even a part of the RSS.

Hex Workshop can display the data in several formats. It's not at all obvious how to change it, especially considering there are several buttons on the menu bar that would be perfect for this but they do nothing.
Anyway, on the latest version, click Options->Preferences. Select the Layout tab, and on the right side it says Columns. Change this from 2 to 1, click OK, and the data should appear as two-character hex values. You may also want to modify the number of bytes displayed across each line.

Cool, thanks for the help guys, i got it. so now once i find my rib, i will try to program my spectras. Also, i think that the directions on batlabs should include the fact that you might have to change the bytes to 24 and the group to 1 byte.
