@ Joe,
Do you have a means to connect you X9000 to a Windoze computer via serial port and RIB?
It might work with a USB---> serial adapter too, I've never tried it. I've run the Mototools proggy on 32b XP and 64b Win7 w/o issues (both w/real serial ports)
I cant speak for Win10/11/68 and owe ya one/or whatever.
I have a computer with it on it but I abhor 10 and all the BS/bloat that comes with it...but what do I know. A few hundred million Koolaid drinking sheeple cant be wrong, right?
If you can get the HW set up, the program is in the files section.? It has a tab that will let you compose ASCII? and send the text to the display via SB9600. No functional use really, except to see it work as POC and see the packets created and sent to make it happen. Practically speaking, the head and it's codeplug is another animal alltogether. I doubt any display data sent by the Xcat would be retained the next time the CH needed to perform a function,
There *may* be? a means to manipulate the CH codeplug to allow for > 211? or 214? (I dont recall the name limit) possibly at the expense of some other feature, if at all.
Do you need more that the limit of mode names? 200+ modes with built in TA/simplex/direct option in each mode should cover a lot of real estate.
The multi codeplug image is an intriguing idea but a hotswap might bite you if the radio needed to recalc the checksum for some reason.
Still definately something worth validating if plausable or not, once we are out of the nest.
