... Well, that question was asked almost 6 years ago so I guess since there has been no reply then there aint no instructions :) I've managed to finally get...
... how have you got the program's directory tree? is it in C:\FPP? if you have i buried in another directory such as C:\Radiio\FPP you may run into problems ...
Hi, Not sure of exactly what was the problem. I may have missed the emails that contyained it. All jobs go in the job directory, The file name is a directory...
Hi Alex, If putting all the FPP folders in the right places doesn't work then check that you are using the correct hardware code - there are several masters...
All Philips FPP software had instructions available in two forms. The simplest being press the F1 button from within the program for help. The second being...
Guess I just don't know what I'm doing, Brian Just to outline my specific problem; I'm running FPP entirely from a floppy. The directory structure was created...
Hi Alex, Yes, sorry about that - you are correct - it should have been FM92RS.BIN and FM92LS.BIN The R is obviously for the Remote head an 'L' for Local. I'm...
I am about to tackle an FM92 local w1 band with a fault I have not seen before. I am looking for advice, especially from anyone that has seen it before. The...
... Hi, You have not said how you monitored the audio but I assume on another receiver with mute set to normal level. To me its over deviation on Tx causing...
Arno, I think you are spot on. I had been doing on air tests with other radios and with my FM91 in the shack. I decided to test your suggestion with my IC R10...
... HI Barry, yes though so, been there before, very common with ex CB UHF FM900 radios. Looks like it only needs 10 min on an RF workbench to reset the...
was out bush on the weekend and unexpectedly flooded the 4be I've opened it up(the radio FM900) and thouroughly dried it out but obviously it doesn't work is...
Fuses should be first to check, from there I would be checking the protection diode(s). You may have got lucky enough for the diodes to sacrafice themselves...
You're probably better off spending your money on another unit than getting a tech to fix it....unless its a really easy fix, most likely not if it had power...
Hi Darryn, a couple of suggestions. 1. Was it fresh or salt water? 2. Was the radio on or off at the time? If the radio was switched on at the time, chances...
Hi Darryn, I don't like your chances - wet circuits and electricity don't go well together! I agree with Eric - however you should not only turn off...
Still praying (but He doesnt listen to me) that a 92 service manual might pop up one day. Have been given a 2 metre FM92 remote version which supposedly worked...
Well a flashing 1 after the aux button is pressed usually means its scanning and if it starts to beep after a little while then that is usually because the...
What you describe can be in the program. Not the normal Phillips one but some of the amateur ones. The tone after 2 minutes is because the unit is in scan &...
Seems there's more than one unrelated fault in this box. The tx was there but too low in level to measure on power meter but enough to register on a closely...
If the 1 is flashing in the left segment then it is in scan. Pressing aux places the unit in & out of scan. There can be max of 2 scan groups when programmed....
You might be right, Peter - about it being a program issue. I programmed a spare eprom from scratch with just a handfull of frequencies and it still behaves...
Hi It's likely that the AUX button (or another button) has been damaged and is stuck on - that would cause it to go into scan mode when the radio is turned on...
G'day All, Just wondering if anyone can recommend where to obtain a PL259 socket which would be an exact fit to replace the original BNC fitted to the FM900s? ...
Another option which is what I use for all (even the 900's) radios with bnc is to go to DSE, and purchase an SO239-BNC adapter. They cost a bit under $5 and...
Hi Glen, ... Yep I have one of those, they certainly can come in handy. Only problem with 'em is that they must introduce a significant amount of loss into the...
I'd stick with BNC as they are in my opinion a far superior connector both electrically and mechanically. I tend to use the reciprocal adaptors to convert to...

... Agreed, but frankly all the same I'd much rather this FM900 had a 259 socket. Due to circumstances here it'd just make life so much easier, and overall has...
