Hello All
Will Contact Manager work with the 800D Plus? ?I received the radio yesterday and am starting to program it and saw Contact Manager and would like to use it.
Thanks

Hello Doug,
Contact Manager SHOULD support this radio. There have been many firmware revisions and codeplug format changes. Please give it a try and report back to us. (I have a CS800D that's several years old...the firmware has been updated only once.)
73,

I’ve successfully used CM with my CS800D PLUS before, but never tried to import the entire user contact list. Just tried, and worked perfectly… ? Tom W4KX ?

Hi,
Thanks for your help. ?I ordered a CS800 and they shipped a CS800D Plus. ?I have spent a good 8 hours trying to program and probably that much time researching, ?and have a number of problems. ?I am going to return it and move on. ?I ?think they sent the Plus because it appears to work on vaporware and promises of great things to come. ?

I’d suggest reaching out to Jerry at Connect System's. Call they always answer in person and are very helpful.? I like the idea of the new 800D Plus. I had the 800D years ago but now went the way on AT 578 for my mobile?

Hi Tom,
I started with the simple stuff. ?I programmed some local VHF and UHF repeaters. ?A couple worked fine, and a couple did not; I could see the signal reception icon, but no audio. ?I rebooted, reprogrammed, double checked all the frequencies, offsets, PL tones etc. and still had the same result. ?I programmed in the local NWS weather station (162.55) and was abel to receive it. ?Rebooted the PC, reloaded the CPS etc. still had the same issues. ?I thought the Motorola CPS was cumbersome…
THanks
Doug?

Try using N0GSG’s contact manager works with most CPS and certainly the 800’s. ?It’s free and makes programming SO much easier?
For the repeaters you can’t hear make sure you do not have a PL tone set for receive then try. Many times I’ve seen people set TSQL and the repeater isn’t transmitting a tone ?
