The Radio Information Board

Is this radio capable of working 6mtrs.

Ok. So people have read this but no replies.

Anyone have any insight as to mods and or moding the software to allow freq entry?

Frank

Well, I've done some bit-banging with a hex-editor, on a file for VX4000 HighBand;

Normal split on this unit is 148.0000 to 174.0000. If I try to enter freqs outside that range, I get a warning, and the entry defaults to something weird.

But doing some bit banging with a hex-editor on the data file, I've found likely places for the channel names, freq. info, etc. I can make changes to locations, save the file, then read it in with the programmer software; it will then display a new frequency.

Haven't gotten as far as how the bits are arranged, how they're coded, etc. I need good, rested brain cells for this, and just havent' had the opportunity. I did this once to figure out how to put a Motorola R100 UHF down into ham freqs;

I'll let you know how far I get. Would love to make my 4000 do 2Meters, also.

Im going to have to mess with my copy. Trying to take a 42-50 into 6mtrs.

Please post any success. I was disappointed when my 5500 would not go 2 meters.

This is an old post but I too am looking for the hex editing instructions for the 37-50MHz VX4000 to get up to 6 meters.

Any info on the editing? Would be excellent to get these working on 2m and 6m for their respective versions.

Hi all. this is for N3OBL, did you ever make any progress on playing with the VX4000 software for 6 meters??Thanks, just checking. Davie N3CHU n-3-c-h-u at atlanticbb dot net

I'm also waiting for the news!
