WARNING!
You must have the following if you intend to purchase programming kits, software (PPS/C, PPS/2, PPS/3, PPS/120, A1510 or VPL-1 or older programming kits), cables, etc. :

• An understanding of Microsoft DOS, including:
  • DOS Commands.
  • How to install DOS programs.
  • How to configure COM & LPT Ports.
  • How to "Boot Up" in DOS mode.
  • How to use and read floppy disks.
  • General knowledge of  DOS operating system.
• A computer with DOS Ver5.0 to Ver6.22 installed:
  • The higher the version the better - Ver6.22 is best.
  • Windows ME, NT, 2000 and XP - USUALLY WILL NOT WORK! 
  • Non-Microsoft versions of DOS - WILL NOT WORK!
  • Windows 95/98 DOS - USUALLY WILL NOT WORK!
  • Linux, Unix, etc., etc. - WILL NOT WORK!
• An OLD, SLOW computer:
  • Boot computer and run program in DOS.
  • Speed - 16 to 100 MHz - MAX . 
  • RAM - 8MB or more.
  • Mouse and Printer make using Software easier.
  • Compaq Computers usually don't work because of COM PORT design.
  • We get reports that some new, fast computers work but most do not.
• A Computer with Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, ME or XP installed...Yikes!
  • Some Program Disks come as Windows compressed files or "Zip" files. They must be un-Zipped or un-Compressed in Windows then installed and run on an old DOS computer. I know this sounds crazy but it's true!
• An understanding of FCC rules and regulations:
  • Programming channels you are not authorized or properly licensed to transmit on is illegal.
  • Programming receive only channels is usually always OK. Check your State and Local Government regulations.
  • Multec Communications / rfwiz.com is not liable for the improper or illegal use of any product or service which it has provided.
  • Multec Communications / rfwiz.com reserves the right to require Proof of Licensing or Written Authorization before programming any transmit frequencies in 2-Way type radios or selling Programming Software.
• Cables:
  • Some of the old/obsolete programming kits (for Standard radios) require a common serial cable to connect the computer to the interface box. This cable IS NOT supplied with the kit and can be purchased for a few dollars at any computer store.
• User Tips:
  • Always UPLOAD (read) the radio first, edit the file, save a backup copy to your hard drive then and only then DOWNLOAD (send) data to radio. Never start programming from the default file that loads when the program starts. Editing the existing file that's contained onboard the radio's micro controller is required because it contains non-user technical data needed for proper operation.
• Advanced User Tips:
  • It has been reported that some faster computers may work by changing the settings in the Windows Device Manager. (Always write down your original settings so your can undo any changes)
  • Reduced COM port "bits per second" rate to 1200
  • Advanced Settings: reduce receive and transmit buffers to lowest setting. (may help to try disabling FIFO buffers)
