SB9600 tools

Skip Hansen All Messages By This Member #453 I've written a couple of python script to help me understand the SB9600 protocol better.? So far I've only used a Spectra.? Unfortunately one thing that I've determined is that RSS almost always uses the encrypted address option when accessing the EEPROM.? Since "If D7=1, then the option should prepare to receive address/data information (via MEMADD) which has been encrypted based on some previously determined algorithm." this is a dead end since I don't (currently) know what the "?previously determined algorithm" is! If someone would like to capture the traffic between RSS and an X9000 while reading the code plug that would be useful. I've put my scripts on github I haven't bought an X9000 yet ... but I AM looking at a couple. 73's Skip WB6YMH
Casey Crane All Messages By This Member #454 I can do that later this coming weekend. I did it earlier but didn't save the file and I'm out of town.? toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Wed, Aug 17, 2022, 12:32 Skip Hansen <skip@...> wrote: I've written a couple of python script to help me understand the SB9600 protocol better.?

Casey Crane All Messages By This Member #475 My hardware interface is messed up so I can't get an RSS read/write intercept right now but I was able to get one of an eeprom read using comport sniffer and the X9000DUMP program. Would that be of use? toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Wed, Aug 17, 2022 at 4:53 PM Skip Hansen <skip@...> wrote: Thanks Casey! 73's Skip WB6YMH

Skip Hansen All Messages By This Member #479 Thanks for trying Casey. Sure I'd be interested in any samples of SB9600 traffic. My ebay VHF X9000 showed up today, but I don't have a cable or head yet. I opened it up and looked around... written in pencil on the inside cover was "Bad Morrison", so an adventure for sure. 73's Skip WB6YMH toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Mon, Aug 22, 2022 at 9:10 AM Casey Crane <ccrane148@...> wrote: My hardware interface is messed up so I can't get an RSS read/write intercept right now but I was able to get one of an eeprom read using comport sniffer and the X9000DUMP program.

Skip Hansen All Messages By This Member #482 I was assuming Morrison was either the tech's name or the customer's name... now if it has said "Dead Morrision '' it might have rung that bell for me too! Hopefully it won't light my fire when I get around to hooking it up. 73's Skip toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Mon, Aug 22, 2022 at 6:44 PM Casey Crane <ccrane148@...> wrote: Bad Morrison?

RFI-EMI-GUY All Messages By This Member #492 Can the X9000 VFD display be written to externally via the SB9600 bus? If so the XCAT9K could push channel labels to the control head and multiple pages of channel labels displayed. Of course that begs the question as to whether that traffic can write to the head without bogging down the resto of the system. Has anyone tried this? The radio apparently can write certain things to the display like BITE errors and scratchpad memory for DTMF dialing.

SB9600 does provide a mechanism for writing labels and such to a control head over the bus, but it's not clear to me whether that's ever used by the radio. Since you have to also program the control head, and its code plug is supposed to match the radios plug, I suspect it mostly doesn't. Interestingly, the string FAIL isn't apparently in the ROM. De
swguest All Messages By This Member #499 @ 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.
Casey Crane All Messages By This Member #500 FAIL ERROR is in the firmware along with programming and other system messages as well as the alpha character sets with the? / -? _? characters.? The head is of course programmed via SB9600 but it seems the only thing it can do is react to a mode slot and then look up what mode alpha name corresponds to it. Perhaps a spectra systems 9000 head could be used since,? if I'm correct, it actually displays data from the radio via SB9600 and is not separately programmed. There are FW updates to convert syntor heads to spectra heads if I remember right. That should mean that the rest of the design is the same.? toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Sun, Aug 28, 2022, 20:53 Dennis Boone <drb@...> wrote: ?> Can the X9000 VFD display be written to externally via the SB9600 ?> bus?

RFI-EMI-GUY All Messages By This Member #504 I retired my WINXP about a week ago and so, new to Win10 and getting sorted out what legacy stuff will work. The new GUI makes my eyes and brain bleed so I am not at 100% to try much at the time. I do have a DOS setup with RIB and the untested RSS and cable for X9000. However I had Andy Brinkley program my codeplugs and firmware for which I am forever grateful. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Sun, Aug 28, 2022 at 11:59 PM, swguest wrote: @ Joe, Do you have a means to connect you X9000 to a Windoze computer via serial port and RIB?
