I have a 99ch Maratrac and I cannot get the scantalkback to work. I am using software V4.03 15NOV93 and have set the tx and rx hangtimes to several seconds. I do not see where to enable/disable scantalkback. I am using eprom V4.01 dated 1989. Is it like the MAXtrac where you need a newer ver of eprom? I have another eprom V5.01 dated 1991 I could try. Will Labmax blank it and then reinit with Maratrac?
I have an eprom burner if someone has a newer file.
ps Did any Maratrac ever have nuisance delete or scan more than 16ch?...max-trac

Change out the firmware.

I had the same problem with a Maratrac on highband. I pulled the v4.03 and had a v5.xx don't remember exactly which one.

Change the firmware, power up, read radio with rss and double check all settings then write radio should be the only things you need to do.

Hope the info helps!
