MSF5000 R1801 Valid list of models needed

Post by George »

I am trying to program a PURC5000 with the R1801.

Does anyone have a list of the valid model numbers for the latest version of the R1801 MSF programmer?

My manual only shows the UHF CLB and am certain there must be more.

What are they?

IIRC VHF, UHF & 800 MHz analog only. I don't remember if it did low bands.

MSFs were made (with multiple ranges) to cover approximately 130-174, 403-475, 806-870, and 896-941. There never was a low-band (25-50 MHz) MSF station.

However, all of this is moot because it's not a list of models, as requested by the original poster.

The first character was "C". Almost everything after that was allowed. The R1801 firmware made modifications to the code plug based on the frequency, type of remote control, trunking vs conventional, etc. Some character positions probably were ignored, like the output power, supply voltage, and station revision.

The documentation I have (programming instructions) doesn't list the acceptable models.
