HT-1250 HK25KDF9AA5AN/Rib-less USB/CPS Issues
Posted: Sat May 30, 2015 9:19 am
Hi
I have a an HT-1250 with the following:
[Info per the printout I received w/ the radio]
Model: AAH25KDF9AA5AN
Firmware: R05.18.01
Serial #: 749TDL1543
OEM Codeplug: 04.11
Latest Codeplug: 04.01
[Info I get when I read radio w/ Waris 3.xx.xx FW/CPG Update/Repair Program]
Codeplug Part #: 51R07035A01R0111
Firmware Part #: 51R07134A01R0153
IC Version: $15 $FF $06 $85
ESN: N/A
Serial #: 0123456789 <--seems the radio was programmed with a dummy/clean codeplug before I bought it
Now....I can read the radio info and even write a dummy codeplug for that model radio (the ones that came with the Waris kit...ending in a ".0' extension. My radio (per the label) has a Tanapa code of: PMUD1482A...which I can write to the radio with this program.
My problem is that I cannot for the life of me get ANY version in the 6.x.x series of CPS to read/write or even recognize the port...which is a USB 2.0 port via the ribless cable. I have tried 3 different machines (all older) running Win XP 32 bit to no avail. All the older HT-1250 codeplugs I have (from an HT-1250 w/ the same model but with R2.x.x firmware end in .cpg) and cannot be loaded and programmed into the radio via the Waris Lab kit....as they require a '.0' file extension.
So I guess I am wondering why the Waris Lab kit program will read the radio just fine (indicating the cable must be good) while no CPS 6.x.x program refuses to even recognize the port. I am using the usual "9600, N, 8, 1, No Flow control, FIFO checked) settings.
Posssible Solution ? Is there any special circuitry within that ribless cable (at the USB connection end) OR is it just a straight run from the 3 pins from the radio end to the USB contacts at the other end? Either way, couldn't I just solder three/four wires from the USB end contacts to a DB9 serial connector and use the serial port itself?? Would that work? I could either splice into the cable before the USB connector or chop it off and solder it to a DB9 (if no circuit is within there) or solder to the USB contacts (post circuitry) if there is any.
Any suggestions (short of buying another type of programming cable) ??
