Ive seen a handful of Syntor X9000s with both 10m and 6m ham freqs in them.
I have the RSS running and I can enter a freq down to 26 MHz i believe, but I cant go higher than 53 MHz.

I have heard of a Ham RSS, but havent seen it.

Does anyone have any information on hex editing the regular rss to allow programming past 53 MHz?

Even if I can get a hint what to look for while editing the EXE

Ive searched both online and within my Hex Editor for any instance of 53 or 26 with no luck.

Any hex savvy hams?

So far, no known hack exists for editing regular Syntor X9000 RSS for out-of-band. Nor can you hex-edit the codeplug itself to enter out-of-band frequencies. Whatever method Motorola used for coding band ranges and frequencies in the Syntor X9000 programming matrix is completely different from anything with known and publicized hacks. If you want full 6-meter range, you have to find someone with the SP Ham RSS, and it limits you to 64 modes total. And you can't open up a Ham RSS-created codeplug with SP 128-mode RSS and get more channels that way either.

If you can find it, the "255 mode" SP RSS supports it, but I've had extremely unpredictable results out of it when just doing normal key-entry. Lockups, etc.

I suspect this is a hacked-to-hell-and-back SP rss that wasn't meant to do what it does.

The 255 sp mode RSS was hacked from the factory 128 codeplug software. The ham software is out there, as well as the 255 software.

To avoid codeplug sizing issues (yes, some versions of X9000 software created different sized codeplugs in the RSS) WRITE your ham frequency codeplug to a real radio (it doesn't matter WHAT band) READ it with the 255 SP software, and do what you need to it, write it back. The version *8* software will read a hacked radio, just don't try to edit the frequency info with that version.

I am sure Akardam will chime in here, as he is currently sweating over his own codeplug as I type this....
