Hi all, I have acquired an FM900 on 2 metres but minus the frequency listing. Is there a way of finding out what channel has what frequency programmed in it...
... Easiest way is to reprogram the EPROM with a frequency list that you know. There's an example 2 metres frequency list and EPROM in this group's file area. ...
Hi Les, The easiest would be to feed it into a dummy load and use a frequency counter to see what frequency each channel transmits on. 73....Eric VK2VE. _____ ...
Thanks Eric, the simplest way is always the best, too bad I didn't think of that before posting my problem. Cheers, Les [Non-text portions of this message have...
All I have to do is connect the rig to a dummy load and hang a frequency meter across it and read off the freq of each channel. Simple really, so why didn't I...
... Simple ... Les, Best not connect the frequency meter directly across the load, the input might not handle the level, better to couple a sniffer loop ...
G'day Les I had this scenario a few months ago. Used my VX5 in Tx mode to suss out the FM900's Rx freq's, and then the FM900 in Tx mode into a dummy load with...
hi group.I just got into uhf cb with this one and as a novice have no idea how to set the scan mode. the mic has a magnet on the clip, it may be simple, any...
... Hi Bob. If scan is programmed, you start by hanging up the mic on the magnetised holder and press the AUX button. The display will change to 1 and flash. ...

Hello John and Group The FM900 programming software (FPP) can not reverse engineer the EPROM's frequencies. Either a dummy load + Sniffer + freq. counter for...
Email me a copy of the EPROM contents and I'll see what my FM900 EPROM decoder program thinks of it! This home brew program is still in "alpha" development,...
Hi Les, It would help is everybody that programs EPROMs put an ID sticker on the EPROM and on the outside of the box. In an ideal world they would also stick a...
Hi Mark, thanks for the offer but think I will just hang my freq counter near the dummy load and note each channel's freq in turn. Saves pulling the thing out...

can anyone please help me, i was up at the hand festival today at kyneton and i bought a prm8041. brought it home and tried to program it using the version...
Hi Bob, As already mentioned, it could be a "roger beep", which is transmitted by the other station. Sometimes the beep contains coded information to identify...
Hi all, I currently have in my possession an FM91R T Band. I don't have the remote head for it. I wish to re employ it as an Echolink transceiver. It is only...
It would not be a trivial matter. The firmware in the radio constantly communicates with the remote head and expects a reply. If no reply comes in a certain...
Hi Jamie, Sure your not thinking of the AWA RT-85 "headless" plug? I haven't heard of an remote head FM900 series radios being able to run without a head,...
Thanks for the feed back fellas, It appears that Alan may actually have a spare head for the project. ... I'm hoping to have it input in to VK3RBP here in...
There is a way to make the FM92 work on single channel with out a control head but as Mark says this may be difficult with the FM91. I wrote this procedure up...
Hi all, I have just obtained an FM93 and I need to know how to connect a microphone. Looks like an RJ12 on the bottom front of the unit. Any help welcome....
I don't have the connections with me right now, but if you can't find them, send me an email. I'm not sure if all RJ-12 adaptors used in FM900's are the same -...
Nice one Ron! I'd overlooked that file in the past thinking it was just another packet radio audio interface. It makes the radio a lot more suitable for thinks...
