[Motorola] Syntor X9000 low band programming into the 6 meter ham band

[Johnjewkes at aol.com]

You will find as I did, the chips (PROM) for the Syntor Series and the  
Eproms used by the Syntor 9000's are very, very hard and expensive to come by.  
The repeater builders site has information as does Batlabs, about making a  
daughter board the uses a different chip, readily available to allow you to 
use  an EEPROM chip that can be programmed on the fly rather than throwing 
them out  or for anchoring boats. Sadly, Motorola has stopped carrying parts 
for rigs 20  years old or older, seeing a better chance of selling new, 
NTIA compliant gear  and making big bucks, rather than waiting for a whole 
bunch of old radios to  need parts.

In  searching for information on how to program several of the Syntor 
X9000  radios that I have acquired, it seems like there is a special 
software  version that is required to go outside the normal 29.7 to 50.0 
MHz  limits.  I do have a need to continue using some 33, 39 and 46 MHz  
channels.

If anyone can point me in the direction of solving his  issue, I would be 
in your  debt.

Thanks,

Jim
