Just hoping someone may have had a similar project and can give some input to help me along. Even though the frequencies are changed it still indicates the original channel names. The radio will receive but the squelch has to be manually opened by pushing the monitor button.Not sure how well it transmits because i want to be sure I can hear any replies before I try to transmit.Īlso, I’m not sure how to change the front panel display. I cloned all the original stuff from the radio to the computer and made the changes I needed. I bought a programming cable and have been ale to access the program. It was given to me out of a trash bin along with programming software. The Vertex VX-231 Programming Software can be downloaded from this link: Vertex Standard.

And since Motorola bough out Vertex they are very hard to deal with, don't even want to talk to you on the phone. I'm lost, and Vertex replaced this model with VX2500 so mine is now obsolete. Still no joy.Īnyone ever hear of such an issue? Anything with a CTCSS works fine, it just won't tx certain dpls but it will decode them. I wiped the radio clean of all channels except the game wardens and it still doesn't work.Ī few, more experienced radio people suggested an alignment, which is built into the Vertex software. It wasn't reading the game wardens dpl (172) but it did read some of the others. Oddly enough the higher currents were some of the ones not reaching out.īought one of those freq counters that also display the pl or dpl tones. Thought it was a low power issue, I do not have a power meter, but connecting an amp meter on the 12 volt side shows various currents, between 8.5 and 11 amps. Checked a few other channels and anything over 10 miles or so it didn't work.

Last month I tried to contact a game warden and couldn't hit the repeater which is only 10 miles away. I have a Vertex VX3200 mobile 40 watt radio, had it for about 4 years and it's been just fine all this time.
