Try checking comms with the RSS and radio from the PC setup menu, where you select the COM port your computer is using. This MUST be selected for ALL 2K memory optioned boards. Program the radio as a model II, and select this: OMIT MEMORY-2K OPTION <. Your THREE button radio indicates it is a 48 channel model II ONLY! Use Win98SE, and from there, you CAN use the DOS prompt that that version has, and it works. XPs command prompt rarely works, that's why you are having trouble.
I was About a Year ago able to open the program without a password or anything and now Its asking me for this stuff and I Basicly Have a PAPER WEIGHT for the last 5 months. I have pretty much checked all my P's & Q's twice over and nothing.
Now I have the rib connected along with the rib box all checked twice and functions perfectly even when I change programs to make sure it works on other Radios. When the program tries to load it ginving me a password Protected and will not even work.
I am using a Old Old 486 Laptop that boots in DOS. I am told this was a VHF Band, I am interested in the 150 to 170 Band For use around this area local fire and policeĪs far as the unit it powers up scans channels already programmed in it from last owner, Has a Brand new Battery I purchased. It hs three orange Button under the diaplay screen, MENU - SELECT - ENTER Okay from that I have in front of me Let me shre this mabey it will help a little more.
NTN4714B: DES-XL (non smartnet) <-Will NOT work in Systems Sabers, radio will not even power up. NTN5835: DES-XL(smartnet) <-Will work in Systems Sabers NTN5833: DES<-Will work in Systems Sabers The number on the module tells you what type of encrytion it is. If there is, and it's metal, you can pull it and count the pins.if only a couple, you have the bypass installed. If a secure capable model, is there a silver or solid plastic dummy module at the bottom of the main board? can fall out(far enough to no longer be operating that is). oscillator, it's a shock absorber of sorts, as is the rubber cover that slips over the top. There should also be a thin foam rubber pad on the bottom of the ref. If you get a power up condition, but still can't get the radio to read or program.check the reference oscillator, as it may have been put in backwards.but be careful with those pins.they bend super easy! The next connection is just above the receiver module, it's oriented horizontally on the board, and should also be seated firmly against the board. Since you have the case opened and the front shield off, check the keypad interconnect just to the left of the reference oscillator, it should be firmly seated against the main board. It is a 4 amp PICO FUSE and is normally seated vertically next to the frame interconnect on the bottom of the radio(the fuse is green in color and probably has clear shrink wrap around it). If you have a good battery and the radio fails to power up, it's a safe bet that the fuse on the main board is blown. The case spanner nuts on the bottom do NOT need to be locked down.6 INCH pounds only. connections on the back of the radio with an eraser, as I'll bet it's missing the port cover, so there's probably a light coating of oxide on the contacts, which will cause problems as well. The battery plate and the contacts must be tight and clean, loose battery contacts will cause erratic errors, as will a loose plate.Ĭlean the accy. If it is a non secure Saber, it'll be a standard model, so plain jane RSS for that radio will work. Systems sabers are labeled like this: 1 * 3 * 4 * 5 * 6 *. You can't tell by looking at model numbers, the best indication is looking at the controls. The same goes in reverse for Systems Sabers read with Standard Saber RSS. You can easily tell a Systems model from standard.The Systems model has 16 channels on the controls top, the standard model has but 12.ĭo not try to read or program the radio with Systems Saber RSS, it will not communicate with a standard Saber.
