Re: Icom FR4000-3 Repeater
|
I've had some progress tonight. Two simple mistakes I should have avoided.
First, the mini-stereo socket I used for the homemade OPC-592 adapter was a mono jack. The third pin was for audio muting upon jack insert, not a contact for the center ring. I should have caught that.?
Second, I discovered that I have the "CS-F3000" software but need "CS-FR3000" . Icom could have made the distinction between the two a little better, but I digress.?
So now I'm in pursuit of CS-FR3000 v1.4t hat Icom no longer offers. Hopefully more progress once I can source the proper program.?

I'm having difficulty reading two (very dirty) Icom FR-4000-3 repeaters that I recently acquired for rehab. My software is CS-F3000 version 1.1 and I am using a genuine OPC-478 cable with a homemade OPC-592 (mini-stereo to RJ-45) adapter. PC is Windows 10 with a known good usb-serial adapter. I've double checked the simple two-wire adapter pin out and am confident I have RJ-45 pins 2 and 7 properly terminated to the ring and sleeve of the mini-stereo.?
No communication between the radio and software. Is there anything special about putting the FR3/4000 series repeaters in "clone" or programming mode? No specific guidance in the owners and service manuals other than indicating power-on is all that's required (unless entering service mode, which has separate instructions).?
Any insights are greatly appreciated.?
