If you are trying to use a laptop, be advised that trying to get it to slow down enough may be impossible. This allows the computer to be relatively fast for some of the newer software but also is capable of being slowed right down (by disabling cache) for the real old stuff. The most stable and flexible platform we have tested so far has been a 486DX4/100 desktop which has the capability to turn off Internal and External Cache for the CPU in the BIOS setup screens. If you have trouble with your RSS running, check the RSS Troubleshooting Flowchart from Motorola, it is in. You will want to read the following Service Bulletin from Motorola regarding RSS and Computer problems. As a result, you are very likely to encounter problems trying run the RSS and program the radios on newer computers (486's and up), as well as computers faster than 16 or 20 MHz. The timing routines built into the software often can't compensate for faster processors and newer UARTS. Most of the radios you will try and program were designed and built when the fastest computers were 286, 386, or 486 machines. Now, there are some things you should know about all the different things above.Īs far as the computer goes, you may have to experiment. *may require Windows 95 for some newer RSS. And, of course, the radio you want to program.The specific Radio Service Software (RSS) package(s) that covers your radio(s).The RIB to radio cable for your radio(s).A RLN-4008 Radio Interface Box(aka RIB).

If you are new to programming Motorola 2-way radios, these are the things you should know.Ī common misconception is that you just build a cable for your radio, plug it into the serial port of your computer and you are ready to program. Motorola Programming Primer Motorola Programming Primer
