Re: R1225 can¡¯t be read

 

Thanks, all, for the feedback.

I could have been more clear, but beyond the weird interface with just an RJ-45 on the front, I do have a remote head (actually two) to try with ribbon cables. Neither helps the situation, though.

I have noticed that, with the USB-to-serial adapter plugged into the powered-up radio, I get some flashing on both the TX and RX LEDs on the cable, whereas trying it without the radio on gives me just a few blinks of the TX light. It makes me think that there is some communication taking place with the radio, just not properly.

I am using CPS Version 4.0 on 32-bit XP, but it is running in VirtualBox on a 64-bit Windows 10 machine. Let me see if my old native-XP Toughbook powers up at all. I had hoped the R1225 was new enough to not be upset by a fast computer, but maybe something between that or running in a VM is the problem.

I too am on using Ver 4.0 Rss?

Next is to pin out the connector you have to ensure the pins talk with the read/write lines on the chassis connector - major reservations here on this being an issue -

Many of the R1225 I maintain today are with an XP machine and 4.0 with a native serial (no USB excuses) and the rib loves talking every time

There are extra R1225 heads around if one is needed to troubleshoot

I have had trouble with R1225's in the past, just like you describe.
Are you using the Version 4 software?
If an earlier version, then it won't like XP.
If you can find someone with WIN 98 on an old slow machine and a REAL Motorola rib and cable, that is
a last resort to try with the earlier versions.
I have had very poor luck with the USB to serial adapters.
Gave up on them years ago.
