Re: 5100 version

Heath, what version does your radio display when you turn it on and it boots up?

I have a 'config matrix' that may have the PCC / programming software version that
you should use for your radio.

As for what firmware, I cannot help with that info.

Re: any active EFJ users left?

I just purchased my 4th EFJ5100, a UHF1 ES model 3. I updated the features using PCIssue (added FPP and MDC1200). It's a version 6.8.4 radio and I can update the flash but I'm hesitant as I don't want to brick it, as it works great as is. The versions I have access to are 06.08.06, 06.10.03 or 06.12...

Re: any active EFJ users left?

I still have my 5100s. Two VHF and one UHF. Sitting up on a shelf nearby looking good but collecting dust. Every one in awhile I'll charge some batteries and put one on scan for awhile. When the local UHF P25 ham repeater was replaced with a DMR repeater I no longer carried my UHF daily. Still have ...

Re: EFJ SMA (The EFJ Keyloader...)

Did you by chance get it at HamVention? There was a fella with a brand-new (NIB) PDA/SMA for sale with some used EFJ portables. I tried to get the SMA separately but no luck. Turns out it was sold on the last day to some lucky bastid. Just today someone snagged (before I could get it) a MOTO KVL-300...

Re: Dayton? Eyeball?

I'll be around Friday. If the weather is decent I may have P25 VHF and /or UHF on me. If it's nasty
then I'll probably only have my TH-F6 Kenwood HT.

Re: 51SL antenna question

Would the antenna from a Motorola "brick" phone (ie, DynaTac style) work? I happened upon my first cellphone the other day at my Dad's while cleaning out some of my old stuff. Out of curiosity the antenna from that cellphone had the same connector. I wasn't really surprised, but I was thin...

Re: upgrading ef johnson 5100 model 1

I was curious as well. I have a 5100ES model 1 UHF, and two 5100 VHF model 3's (version 2.4.6). The 5100ES has 'full keypad support' option checked on PCC, but not the 'keypad programming' option. I figured that I could swap the internals and create a UHF Model 3 but that it'd take a firmware update...
