Does a few RF-3200's and a few RF-350's count?

There is an option in the PC Configure options under the secure section to switch from asn/slk mode to PKID mode or something like that. Switches from named slots to physical key id slots. Once this is done it allows keyloading from a T3011DX keyloader with the proper cable. I'm at work and don't ha...

Ok, I'm at a stuck point, I have 4 radios, 2 uhf and 2 800 mhz. the 2 uhf units have all the features I need in the 800mhz radios, can I swap over the rf boards and align the radios or is there any way to transfer feature sets from one radio to another similar to the srec tricks on the motorola astr...

Does anyone know if there is Rig Control software available that will work with this similar to Ham Radio Deluxe? I've got one of these I'd like to play around with but like the computer control options. Thanks!

Ok, apparently the VX-10 service manual is long NLA, so I was wondering if anyone had a copy or knows how to place the VX-10 into alignment mode? It's some sort of jumper on the programming adapter to get it into service mode so the alignement can be performed. I have 2 here that are bugging me as t...

Sounds like the internal flex for the on/off switch. We have been through about 60 of these on our waranty service on our 40+ 5100 series portables with many of the repaired radios having the same issue again within a month. It was a design flaw on the radios per one of the senior tech's at EFJ who ...

Columbus Ohio DMRO auction about 5 years ago. Sitting in a box at the house since. I fired it up and no power out so it went in the storgage box. They were used as HF modems by the coast guard on lake erie from what I can tell. I got 3 of the 5 they had. A friend found and got the other 2 but they b...

Anyone know if the service manual for the RF-3200 is floating around anywhere? I have one here with no power out. Fuses check fine but that's about all the farther I want to try it without a service manual. I've got a RT-350 running so I'm not as worried but it would be nice to have a NTIA approved ...

I recently was given a Comco single channel AM radio. From what I can tell it was made by EF Johnson. Wondering if anyone out there would know a source for the manual. Want to get new crystals for our ground to air frequency here. Thanks!!!!! Keith Dobbins KC8RFW W8TAP Repeater Technician Parkersbur...

Anyone build one of the soundcard packet interfaces? I'm using the optoisolators with a 4N25, I can get the RS-232 to swing everything right but the resistance across the emitter and collector of the 4N25 is too high (100 ohms) and won't key my PTT circuits. I don't really want to build a relay into...

Well, I got it working. The niles2bin program didn't work right and not sure what format it is dumping into but it isn't a correct bin for the unisite programmer. I looked at the niles files and they are the HEX versions of the programming info. I divided the info into the hex words and can enter th...

Anyone know the pinout on the KX-99 Air Radio? I need to make a headset interface for one for our air boss for an upcomming air show. I had my commercial adapter and have since lost it. Thanks!!!!

Radios are Comb: N5HH1W40PB. I've got a few in gray cases, and a few in the older beige cases. Trying just to get some 155 range test frequencies in them so I can test the amps and other features to make sure the radios are good on those. Ultimately looking to program in 145.690 if the radios can do...

Trying to get caught up on my radio work, I've got 6 VX-10 VHF radios that need a good going over. Does anyone have the alignment section of the service manual they could send me? I've tried to order the service manual twice now from parts and they keep sending an operators manual instead of the ser...
