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.

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.... Rgds Al ________________________________ From: Racal-manpacks@... on behalf of Ira J.

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

Re: Jaguar / panther programming
Hi,
The Jaguar V and the Panther V 2000 are not PC programable. The Panther V EDR is via a RS232 fill gun emulator. to program the old ones you need a BCC706A fill gun, for the EDR a BCC706C fill gun. If you have not got any of these then you'll have to imput via the keyad. Hope this helps Barry -- In Racal-manpacks@..., "Tony" <ffr58kk90@...> wrote: to program from the top rotary knobs, I am looking for some way to fillworth looking out for. |
Re: Jaguar / panther programming
Hi
Thanks to everyone for the reply's I appreciate that the sets can be programmed from the front panel, this is ok but having to do a few sets, plus a mix of Jag / panthers and PRM4740 which is a real pig to program from the top rotary knobs, I am looking for some way to fill them all the same either by programmer or fill gun or pc whatever. Just thought that if a programmer existed for the pc, it would be worth looking out for. regards Tony |

If all is working as it should, the "zeroize" position on the programming switch should only zero information you have entered or 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. Rgds Al -----Original Message-----

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.
