[Motorola] MOTOROLA MICOM XR

[federico]

Hi to all,
          I found my MICOM XR 12 as surplus from UNO, the transceiver is in 
good working order, my problem is how I can get access to programming steps 
so I can see (and eventually change) the numerical code that identify the 
equipment for SELCAL.

In the Tech. Manual that I got from MOBAT the first step needed to get 
acces to programming procedures is : press in the same time decimal point (.) 
and the down Key (V) and then FUNCTION key, in this way the tech. maual says 
that in the upper right corner of the display appears the word PROGR.

My equipment is the same of the Tech Manual (and send selcal if requested to 
do so) but don't answer to the first step.

I see that the display has some little changes respect to the tech. Manual :

(1)
instead of  "SEL" there is  "SELCAL"

(2)
if you push RX/TX button the display don't show RCV or TX, in other word the 
equipment operate only in SIMPLEX MODE (but this isn't a problem).

I suppose that my MICOM XR 12 don't answer to the programming steps because, 
probably, UNO asked some other options : military ALE instead of a simply DSC 
(the tech. Manual says Selective Call)?

Anyone can help me?
