[Motorola] ASTRO SPECTRA PROGRAMMING

[K0DAN]

I was under the impression you could program analog freqs/PL into Astro 
Spectra using the old style RIB box.

I keep getting "can't communicate with radio" error.

Does analog-only (no trunking, no digital) programming require a smart-RIB?

Radio is TO4RLH9PW9, works fine, using stock /\/\ RIB box, programming 
cable, CPS. Nothing unusual. COM ports on PC and CPS all check out OK. RIB 
works fine with other programming, cable checks out OK.

Is there a trick to make the radio recognize it needs to be programmed, or 
am I using the wrong RIB?

Tnx
