Hello Group,
I thought this task would be easy. But the more I delve into the programming the more confused I become.
Here is my situation.
*Radio* Astro Spectra-T04KLF9PW4AN (1 meg 2.5 kHz) I don't believe this to be a Spectra+
*Control Head* W4? Fully connected to transceiver Power cable also connected. All cables connected as when radio was in vehicle.
*Computer* Win 7, 32 bit laptop with one USB 1 port and 9 pin serial port.
*Motorola RIB* I have a real Motorola RIB. DO I REQUIRE IT?
*Programming Cable* DO I REQUIRE A RIBLESS CABLE?? What cable # and where do I connect radio end? With control head cable connected to radio I have one 25 pin female connector between the handle on the radio. Is the programming cable connected to that or does it connect to control head?
*Programming Software* My information tells me that I require CPS 5.02.xx or 5.03.00 . I see the CPS is readily available but if some good hearted soul could mail me the CPS (if it's legal) I'd be happy to reimburse time and postage.
?
I'm tearing my hair out and I only plan on programming six or seven VHF NB repeater fxs. and a few "Talkaround" channels.
Appreciate any and all help.
