MTR-2000 continuation

 

Our group got the MTR-2000's and they power up, so very good sign.? However, putting an RSS software on it, the RSS fails to read the MTR..? Tried 2 different cables (FTDI, 2102)? Also have a RIB cable to put on it.... (Com ports match)? I suspect the RSS software might not be correct.? What version to use???? And. do I need a specific OS (WinXP, 7) or what?? If anyone has a codeplug to modify, that would be appreciated....
?
One of them codes out to 100w and 2 meter capable!

You need a DB9 or USB to DB9 to RJ45....RSS is 03.02.0x ....don't need a RIB...wiring info on Repeater Builder site...I use XP in a VMbox but you must make the com ports match after it comes up ..only Com 1 and 2 work.if it's a 150-174 range, there are some mods you need to do to make it work in the 2m band..there are on the RB site as well

Thanks, will give it a try...

Almost positive MTR2K is the same Moto CPS generation where the CPS will run in 64 bit (like MTS/MCS/1st gen Astro) but won't talk to the radio; needs to be 32 bit Windows.

What Bob just said. I have a remote site with a Win10 32 box running just for MTR CPS. Zero success in my experience with 64 bit communicating with the chassis.

I run XP SP3 32bit using Oracle VM virtual box (free) on my Win 10 64 bit laptops...

Works like a champ...my MTR2000 and older Motorola CPS runs just fine that way

I run RSS 14.10.00 on my office Win11 computer directly (compatibility mode Win7) as well as in a ProxMox Win7 VM and never had any issues

Bought an USB FTDI cable from BlueMax49ers.com, and was able to read the MTR-2000 from an XP machine.... now to program it and see what happens....
