I've made some veiled references to my USB controlled Sytnor before, here is some more information on what I've been working on: I'm looking for Beta testers...
Another bullet point for the release notes! HELL YES! I haven't tested full duplex much yet since I've primarily been using it on Echolink, but that's the...
Skip, I've applied for membership in the TLB group and look forward to beta testing! This is great as you have all the features that I wanted to add to DRIL...
Hi, I looked through the files and messages, but can't find a description of "how" the eprom module replacement portion of the xcat works. Is this information...
There isn't a write up on the theory of operation, but the priniciple is pretty simple. The Xcat's PIC processor is much faster than the processor in the...
I've just uploaded version 0.23 of the Xcat PC control program to the files area of the Yahoo group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xcat/files/xcat_pc-0.23.zip...
Good Day Skip, I finally found some bench time to get the Xcat board hooked up now that it has been sitting for six months and I have not yet figured out how...
The "Xcat not responding" message is only displayed once per run. Go to the "About" tab and see if the firmware version is displayed, if it's "N/A" then the...
... Bruce, Skip went a different direction that I would have based on my reading of your message. I have been known to have dumb%&* attacks however, so if I'm...

... I should have stated explicitly that I am assuming Bruce's problem is a communications problem rather than a VCO problem because no mater what the VCO is...
... I have _got_ to get that done. No time like the present, I guess. De...

... Ok, first cut at reviving it is at: http://www.kb8zqz.org/syntorx/ I haven't vetted all the links yet. Among other things, links to Mike Blenderman's site...

I just uploaded a file (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xcat/files/debugmode.zip) that contains registry files that can be used to enable and disable the special...
Fantastic! Thanks !! I *highly* recommend that anyone who modifying a Syntor VCO read Dennis's page, it's a fantastic resource. I almost wish I didn't have a...
Bruce, I've found a problem with 0.29. I had hand edited the .hex file to remove the stored modes so updating the firmware wouldn't clobber the modes....
I've just uploaded version 0.24 of the Xcat PC control program to the files area of the Yahoo group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xcat/files/xcat_pc-0.24.zip...
It works for me. Try again, perhaps the Internet was having a bad hair day. If you still can't get there you can always view it from Google's cache. Just do...
Duhh...Sorry guys, I was getting the page the whole time, but I was looking for the words VCO and didn't see them. I guess I just need to slow down and read...
Good Day Skip, I found some time to work on repeaters and thought I would try to get the Xcat talking to the SRS-200 controller. The controller supports CI-V...
... Yes, both the baudrate and CI-V address are written to flash/EEPROM. It should work, fingers crossed. 73's Skip WB6YMH p.s. Please don't forget to test...
Skip, I went by the repeater site and I was unable to communicate via RS-232 with the Xcat. As I recall it's got the latest firmware and I was using version...
Lee has plenty of Xcats, but yours might be recoverable. Did you try all of possible baudrates? I made a major mistake when I changed the default baudrate...
I have been trying to locate a service manual for my Syntor-X (T73VBJ7204BK) withoug luck. The Manual number is 68P81060E05-C. I have tried watching E-bay,...
You might have to settle for a manual for a slightly different version. I have a DVP version and use a manual for the standard non-DVP version. It's close...
Skip-- Thanks for the reply. I had just checked E-bay the evening before I made that post and found nothing. I looked again, a couple of hours after making...
