Very cool! Finally got past assorted other commitments and issues and
can invest some time in this again. Started digging out radio and
accoutrements so I can do some testing.

Quick progress report... the concept proved!

Today I "edited" mode 1 to receive on 147.00, updated the checksum and the (re)selected mode 1 all via SB9600.? It worked!
The values were hard coded, but I believe I know now to calculate them so it's just a matter of writing some more code.

I finally hooked my X9000 to a supply with decent power supply and tested the transmitter, works 94 watts @ 18 amps.

Stay tuned...

Feel free to upload anything to the files section that won't cause
lawyers to come calling... i.e. nothing that even remotely smells of
maybe I shouldn't...

@ Dennis,
Yeah, after some "now where did I see (or think I saw) that" digging I actually found them over on our favorite Kanuk site.

If I ever Dl'd them before I cant find them... or if I did, I dont remember doing it....and that scenario is becomming all TOO common anymore...lol

@ Skip,
Yeah, in the broad strokes seems most HHLs all pretty much fit "....and they look like sisters" as the saying goes.

I can usually muddle my way around/thru most of them, but exact syntax differences always force me to Google to compare them with known interpretations.

I'm in the research, extract and modify to suit, and apply to my needs camp as well.

Yes, from what little I looked at it, LUA seems it may be something to learn more about.

The fall event of one of the major gatherings for Texas is comming up in less than 2 weeks (10/1)
You never know anymore about turnout/variety, but travelwise, Belton is central to much of Texas so it gets a pretty diverse crowd.

I REALLY dont need to wag anymore crap home but more often than not, I just cant resist...lol

Anyway, hope you can gleen something useful out of those files.

I'm thinking they should be the latest/last versions since the post was in 2015, and the original files were posted 2012-2013 era.

BTW, should I be putting this kind of stuff in the files section as opposed to burying them in the discussion section?

Thanks! I find most computer languages other than Forth pretty
readable. It's information gathering I'm interested in anyway, I'm
not looking to modify and compile... The lua based gui on the other
hand might be an interesting squirrel hole all of its own.

Next weekend is the local ham swap meet again ... it's not what it
used to be but at least I don't need to pay shipping for boat anchors.

There is a Feedback link under the Menu that looks to let one send a msg/leave you email address.

As I recall, Vladimir/RussianE39 had a very open and helpful attitude in his posts.
He struck me as the type of person that enjoyed doing this type of stuff. Hopefully he's still around and able to reply.

The captcha instructions are in Russian even running the site thru Google Translate,? but you can c/p the text instructions to the text translate function of Google translate and you can see what it wants.
It was 2 level check when I tested to see if it would authorize, 1st was cars, 2nd was bicycles.

Excellent - Proof of concept!
As far as coding the checksum calculation, I Found it easier to calculate the differential.
Of course that presumes beginning with a codeplug with a known to be good checksum.

Yes, Brian has a very nice collection of goodies on his site.
AFAIK the source for the Mototools was never posted. Both programs were originally posted in a forum on P25.ca, cira 2012? I think?....2-3 years before the re-organization and re-formatting to Communications.Support.
I dont recall seeing the OP post much else after that thread died off.
Last time I looked the the original dl site for the programs was still up.
I had it bookmarked.? I'll see if I can find it. Maybe there's more info there.
Anyway , congrats on your success!

Ugh!? Github likes to use "main" and but I always use "master" for the (cough) master branch .... it's there in the "master" branch.?

Very cool!

The x9000.py script doesn't seem to have gotten committed to the repo.

Thanks, I'll have a look at that one too.? But it looks like it might be the same one Stan just posted.? In any case the more the merrier!

Hi Group,

I think I've proved the concept.? I just successfully wrote two bytes to EEPROM, read them back and verified them and then exited programming mode w/o resetting the radio.? The checksum adjustment failed, but i'm sure that can be fixed.

My current script is here:??if anyone would like to try it.

I had looked for the source for Mototools a few week ago, but i

> failed to find it. Do you know if source for it was ever posted?

"Lua source" refers, I think, to the Astro FDB tool being mostly written
in Lua. W9CR has that zipball here:

Thanks Stan!

Hi Skip,

Check your "g..n" domain if it is still valid.

The "bottleneck" is in the name...9600...lol
Even a 4.77 XT will be loafing to communicate at that speed.

I dont know why this slipped my mind in all this.
The guy that wrote the Mototools program also wrote a program to read, edit and write back the FDB block on A/S, MCS, etc...VERY useful.....

It is written in LUA and the sourcode and scripts are included.

I have no idea what is needed to make it Linux compatible but I suspect it is doable.

Goofing around, I edited it to read out the entire A/S codeplug a while back. Never got around to trying to write the whole codeplug back.

The source may help format something usable for the X9000.

Hi group, just a quick update.? I'm making some slow progress with testing the ability to edit code plug data on the fly using SB9600 commands.? I now have a X9000 test bed setup and working minus a computer capable to running RSS slow enough to talk to the radio.? This will make things more difficult, but it was not unexpected.

I have successfully read my code plug over SB9600 using a RIB and a Python script running on a fast Linux box.? It's slow, but it works.

More as things progress.
