ADMS 1G software

nanagle

I have dug out my vx7r after years of gathering dust. I always loved this radio, especially the battery life.

Anyway, I am looking to update the programming with the ADMS 1G software from RT Systems. The cable is on the way from HRO and should arrive today. My software version is on a disk and is version 2.32. It is REALLY old. Does anyone know if that is the latest version? RT systems still sells the software, but I don’t want to buy it again, and my serial number is so old that their system doesn’t recognize it.?

Also had any programmed the vx7 using this software on a computer running windows 10?

Thank you.

?According to the maintenance manual, there is a rechargeble Li-Ion battery just for the clock (as I see it. Not much further info) but rather thab take the radio completely apart just to take a look, I decided on the reset route, which worked.? We`ll see how this goes.? Someone better equipped should look at this battery thing for the clock.

Hi Floyd,

So was there no battery to replace in the VX-8DR?

Thanks,

Fixed this with no problems.? Just did a backup of the HT to my desktop using RT Systems VX-8 Programmer, did a factory reset of the HT (Hold Band, HM/RV, TX PO, keys down and power up the HT), then restored the HT using the programmer software.? Worked like a charm.? If you don't have the RT Systems software, CHIRP should work just as well.

VX8r clock resets to 00

#2

Been battling with this for some time and just today found out that there is an internal rechargeable lithium-ion battery specifically for the clock.? I have the suspicion that this battery is no longer good (I've had my vx8r many years) and finally needs to be replaced.? I was wondering if anyone in the group has ever tried to replace this battery?? As far as I can tell, it's mounted directly to a PC board (as it looks like in the maintenance manual.

Hope someone can help.
