Re: Somewhat OT... imaging a hard drive...
Use clonezilla.
Not easy to use, but works perfectly. You must read all of the
prompts.

Re: syntor x cables and system 90 access
Jeff,
I know where one may be. I've been trying to get back to the storage shed and slowly sift through the pile. What I recall finding was in fairly good condition and I believe had a chassis and cables with it. Check back with me if you don't find one sooner.?
Jeremy?

i¡¯m looking for a syntor x system90 scanhead and cable set and also an 8 channel or more ?standard head and cable set.? I have speakers and mics so i¡¯m ok there. ?thanks. Jeff N2IA. ?

Sean,
Only if you have the fairly rare SAM module.? Another option would be a simple DTMF-Controlled relay module (such as a DTMF-8) tied to the 25-pair connector.? This would allow you to disable the repeater as well as many other functions.?
Dan Woodie, CETsr KC8ZUM?
Quick question guys
Is there a function on the quantar to disable tx via dtmf.
Thanks

It's in storage but I get it out with some effort,? to transfer from the 5" to 3", then put the 3" in my xp machine to copy to a thumb drive. You'll need to send me the program or file, I'll scan it for funny-stuff, too.? I have several boxes ranging from Win95 to 10 and Linux.? But I'm a "billware" clone right now.

Clonezilla if you want something free but it's CLi driven, Acronis True Image (if it's still around) if you don't mind paying for it as it has a nice 'pointy-clickey' interface...

Re: Motorola MTR 2000 UHF repeater.
Thanks for the great information, even thought the MTR 2000 has battery backup, I am sure it was a power bump. I read the repeater and everything was good so I re-programmed it and it is working fine now. Thanks for all of the great information. 73's Butch, KE7FEL
This can also occur if you have removed one of the option cards or have made a change in the codeplug that would need one of the option cards to function.
Read the codeplug and as Millin has said find the error and change the setting.
Hope you figure it out.
