[Motorola] Syntor X 9000 RSS changes

[KBØNLY]

The HAM RSS for the X9000 was version 5.02 for the RDPROG which does the radio, and i think it had the latest version 7.11 or something like that for the CHPROG which does the control head.

I don't know of anyone doing any hex editing on it for wider bandsplits to allow ham band coverage.  And there isn't any keyboard tricks to input an out of band frequency.

I got a copy sitting on my old programming laptop and have put a few into the 2m ham band.  Haven't tackled a UHF conversion yet, however the software will program into the ham band.  I believe it should also work for the low band radios, but i haven't tried it.  Anyway, its the commonly referred to HAM version of the X9000 RSS.  I could always transfer it to a floppy to get it from the laptop to the main computer, i got it on a floppy originally at a ham fest years back, but i have since lost that disk.

  Speaking of hex editing, has anyone done this on the RSS files for the
  Syntor X 9000 for the low band and high band radios to allow amateur band
  coverage ?  I understand there was a ham version of the RSS which is
  apparently no longer available.

  As far as I know (because I haven't tried it yet) the Ver 06 of  RSS for
  Syntor X 9000
  doesn't allow entry of ham frequencies.  I realize the VHF Range 2 Syntor X
  9000 needs some VCO and receiver front end retuning to properly operate on 2
  meters, with the UHF version being a somewhat bigger project as well.

  Are there any keyboard "tricks" to force entry of a ham frequency, or is it
  necessary to go in and edit the files ?  And if it is necessary to edit the
  files,
  does anyone know which lines and which entries refer to the band limits ?
