Minitor IV programming issues

Hello everyone,

Im kind of new to the programming area. I'm having issues with getting my M4's to program. I'm using the windows version of the M4PPS and the M3/Director 3 programmer. I read all pagers fine. Now everytime that I write a M3/M4 pager I get "Serial Communication - Data Transmission Error!" message. If I remove the pager and re-read it the new information is saved. The current pager Im working with is codeplug: 10.106 , firmware: 9.40

My software is the original version as I never got an update. I have tried to find updates but the search came up negative. I also browsed most of this board and started to go blind doing it. Im sure someone can help so if you could.....

Thanks,

-Steve

Ok, so Im going nuts with this.. I have 3 pagers currently. All have the aformentioned error message after writing.

#1 - Works fine, all tones activate as should. Codeplug: 10.114 / firmware: 9.40
#2 - Writes fine, receives nothing, no tones, no monitor. Codeplug 10.106 / firmware: 9.40
#3 - Works fine, all tones activate as should. Codeplug: 10.009 / firmware: 9.40

What the hellmanz is going on?

Check pager #2 for bad solder joints, check all pagers for dirty contacts (or maybe your computer is too fast).
