[Motorola] HT1000 Programming Help

[w7trh at comcast.net]

Hello Group, 



I was "Elected" to program a few UHF HT1000 radios.[H01SDC9AA3DN] 

I am using RSS 3.00.00 [5 May 95], aftermarket "Rib less" serial programming cable. The computer is a 486-DX33. The non-turbo speed is 16 mHz.. Com 1 is set up 

8,1, no parity. Running Win 3.1 and DOS 6.20.  have RSS in DOS directory. 



Have a problem.........I can't even "READ" the radio! Perhaps I have something out of sequence? The screen has some other ser.# and model showing....can't get it to change. Frequencies stay the same when I toggle through all 16 ch.! 



As I understand it, if radio has been programmed with a later RSS, my ver 3.00.00 can not be used to reprogram. But, I should at least be able to READ frequencies ? 



Can someone tell me the proper sequence of connecting and turning on components? Does the HT need to be "ON", and battery installed? 



If all else fails, I do have a Motorola RIB, but will have to purchase a RIB to radio cable. 



At this point, I just wanted to READ the radio........did not know it was going to be a big deal. 



I would appreciate any help. Thank You! Merry Christmas!
