Re: Jaguar / panther programming

 

Hi Barry

Thanks for the clarification, I didn't think that the Jag's were pc
programmable, it was just a comment that someone made to me that they
were.
The panther 2000's I was not so sure about, in the manual it mentions
a 'standard dos based program', 'allows spectrum information and
codes to be prepared on a pc prior to entry into the radio', followed
by mention of a 'dedicated programming device SW3601'. for more
details, refer to OPerators manual Ref. IH120.

That's what had me wondering.

Regards
Tony

If you have not got any of these then you'll have to imput via the

Hope this helps

Re: IRIS BCC39D Questions

Belton, Alan
 

Ira,
Probably best advice, overall: I'm not personally familiar with the BCC39D, but I'm sure someone else out there has had dealings with it?
Unless you are very sure about a particular model, the zeroize facility can be a bit high risk, depending on the intended usage and fill of the radio: I irretrievably wrecked a SINGCARS UHF/sat packset some years back (which belonged to USA, as opposed to UK PLC) by casually using the zeroize facility to clear a crypto fill I had loaded incorrectly. I did'nt know it then, but was subsequently very firmly advised that the zeroize feature on that set was also intended to permanently destroy the internal memory chipsets and software in the event of capture.
It did....
It took several slabs of beer, a couple of sets of Goretex and a pair of Lunghag boots to source another packset and shift the blame elsewhere.

Too much technology, low tech has it's endearing features at times! PRC 77's still work....

Al

Thanks Alan,

I've not tried the button, as the people at combatradio said it wasn't a
good idea ;)
Any other background info on this radio? Or is it kind of an 'orphan'?

filled, not the entire contents of the radio (hopefully!). Having said
that, there is usually an internal back-up battery in that range of
radios, and I know that if this has failed, the zeroze facility can
sometimes take out more than it should. Probably best to over-write
info as opposed to zeroize it if not sure, as the zeroize option was
more for rapid deletion of information held in the radio in the event of
capture, etc.

Anyone out there in Radio-Land have manuals for this beast? Looks like

a model between the 39B and the PANTHER-H. Has an internal ATU, and
LED display. (This is an HF set)

Also, will the ATU tune an external antenna, or just the whip?

Can't seem to figure-out the TX/RX split-frequency mode, either.

There's a guarded 'ZEROIZE' switch position. Does this just erase the
freqs? or turn the radio into an expensive 'brick'?

Thanks,

--Ira

Re: Jaguar / panther programming

 

Try programming a PRC-132 sometime :) One 0-9 rotary switch, and three buttons. AND you have to load TX/RX freqs....

I imagine that the SF guys hated this radio, especially if they had to load 30 freqs in 10 or more radios :)

Re: Jaguar / panther programming

Belton, Alan
 

Have'nt heard of any PC programming facility, unless it was towards the end of their production (first sets would have been in pre-Windows days, when PC's were not as freely available as later on.) I think the programmer/fill guns were more for bulk-filling an issue of sets to save time, although the sets I've used were all front-panel programmable, which is a bit time consuming, but gets there in the end, depending whether you load just clear channels, or hopsets, etc.
