EFJ Avenger questions

Post by DLW »

Hi... My first post here so I hope I'm not asking a prohibited question about programming software. I have two old "Avenger GX" radios, one UHF (242-7403-121) and one VHF (242-7401-122) that I've been using for several years for the VHF/UHF ham bands. I've been needing to update the repeater freqs. I have programmed into them but I've misplaced, lost, or maybe even accidently tossed the software disk I had since it was on a 3.5" floppy.
I'm looking at possibility buying "PC Configure" software which sounds like it will work with most EFJ radios but I'm unable to tell if it works with these older Avengers or not?
Can anyone tell me if that will work w/these old radios or know of other available software that can be purchased that will work?

Thanks much... DLW

PCConfigure will NOT work with the Avenger Radios.
EFJ doesn't support those radios anymore either.
My only advice would be to try and contact Paul from Paul's Two Way.
