[Motorola] ASTRO SPECTRA PROGRAMMING

[tvsjr]

All features of an ASTRO Spectra (analog, digital, conventional, trunking)
can be programmed using the standard RLN1185-type RIB box and the same
programming cable as one would use for an analog Spectra.

Got the COM port set properly in the software? What version of software are
you using? Real serial port or USB-serial dongle?

Tried a different radio? Could be a hardware failure.

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
