The Radio Information Board

Does anyone know the exact file format of the older DOS based GE programs - IE MPA Conventional, MVS etc? It would be an "interesting" project to write a windows program that could output those file formats. The the DOS program could read the files, and program the radio

What package number is your mdx? This website might help answer your question about systems (though it makes no mention of an EDACS package in UHF)... http://www.hallelectronics.com/getech/pm2.htm I looked at the Hall site - no go. I don't know the package number, as it's not here yet. A local GE g...

I'm confused..... (well duh :) ) I just got my hands on a full up MDX - wide open EDACS/AGEIS UHF rig. My past experiences with the MDX has been with a 16 channel, so that was easy to setup I'm setting the rig up all conventional for ham radio use - yep, the EDACS and AGEIS are just going to sit Any...

I've searched the board - not much on the MDX here... I have a conventional UHF MDX - about 60% of the time, when I power the radio up, it comes up with the display saying "TESTMODE" - any idea what is going on? When it comes up "normal" (does it's self test, and the comes up, it...

Hi, I KNOW that the factory has an antenna for the M-PA ham split, and I have 4 or 5 VHF antennas (Not sure of exact ones I have) The question is this If I want to get a longer "gain" duckie, or even a stub duckie for "close" work, does anyone make an antenna tuned for the ham ba...

I was told that the rig ALSO had to have either a code chip, or trunking chip to have some extra memory space. Might be wrong... I wouldn't think so. I'm pretty sure that the radio loses all of it's former capabilities (selectable scan & scan lists, channel banks, GE* and T90/T99, etc) to basic...

Yep....Select is 16 channels only and no display. ...snip...Also, 136-150 System models can be "Hamflashed"...this basically makes the MPA a front-programmable 2m radio. I was told that the rig ALSO had to have either a code chip, or trunking chip to have some extra memory space. Might be...

Select - you get to select which channel you are listening to. NO SCAN - I THINK only one bank of 16 channels

Scan - adds the ability to scan the various channels - turn on and off scanning, change banks, use preprogrammed dtmf tones, etc

system - adds a dtmf keyboard

The P96a is here. No rush to try it, as the local GE shop did my MPA for me Monday

Then comes getting the software - oh joy.

At this point, a buddy and I have accumulated enough GE gear that it's REALLY time to look at a programmer. We would like to be able to program the following:

Phoenix
Delta/Rangr (s-990)
MCS
MVS
PLS
MPA

What's the best/cheapest way to go?
