I have a high power W4 that I am trying to program. I built the cable as shown on B.L. I am running CPS 4.something. and a factory RIB pluged in to the wall. I hooked everything up and try to read the radio and the CPS keeps saying can't comm with radio. any ideas?

Does the rib power up without the battery or AC plugged in? The mobile should power the rib if you made the cable right.

well go it to work now. This is only the second spectra i have had are they that picky on rib power? the cable worked without the wall and battery but as soon as I had d/c'd them i was able to read the radio.
