MT1000 software is from the "old school" - it requires a SLOW computer - as in a 386 25 mhz running in true DOS 6.22.

That software will not run on anything relatively new. This has been discussed quite a bit here - use the search feature and you'll find quite a few posts about what to do.

Also, please watch the caps lock and the bold print when you write - it's uncomfortable for others to read, and as you probably know, is the equivalent of shouting.

Good luck with the MT's == they're solid radios.

You might want to check out the Programming Primer in the main BatLabs
site, it's covered there.

i've programmed my MT1000 w/ a p133 w/o problems for several yrs...mak sure to do a comm test in setup menu first...and is it factory rib and cable or aftermarket?

Well, first start by finding the caps lock key. I'll attach a picture incase your confused as to its location:



Anyway -

You need to take some time and read through the programming primer that's on the main site. Additionally, there's a lot of good information on the MT1000 page.

All of this can be found at:

If you can't find your answer there, take a minute and do a quick search on the board for MT1000, and you might find what your looking for.

Alex - You're getting quite sardonic in your old age.

Alex, I can't find this key on my keyboard......Is yours an upstated NY model???? Mine may be a "315" version.....


Make sure the RSS is configured to the com port that the rib is hooked up to and all of your connections are correct. I have programmed a lot of these radios with my p-300 laptop. I have since moved to aqn old 386, though. Please make sure you read all the primers, you may make door stops in a very large hurry!!!

thanks for everyone's help with my project. i was able to get my hands on a antique computer with "DOS" but was still unable to figure out what to type in for commands for the A:\ drive. *bad command or file name*
at least i could get the mt1000 screen to come up on my Win ME computer. any way, I'll quit wasting ya'lls time and just take 'um to the radio shop. We dont need any more door props.
Alex.....just kidding with 'ya. Thanks for your help.

It shouldn't be different for access to the A drive. You type 'a:' to get to the drive like normally. If certain commands won't work it may be environmental variables, but they wouldn't work whatsoever then.

Try dir or dir/w , that will give you all the
files and folders.
try typing in one of the file names that
corespond to the mt1000.

P.S. make sure to save whats on the radio (codeplug)
before you do anything.
