Programming the GE S825

Threeshot223 · Post by **Threeshot223** » Fri Dec 06, 2002 12:38 am

I am trying to program a S825 head for use with a Rangr radio. It seems that I can only get 64 channels into it (8 ch/mode x 8 modes), yet everyone I talk to says that they can hold 450 or more channels! Is there something that I'm missing in the programming?

Each mode holds 16 Channels, in order to view and program the additional 8 channels per mode you must use the page down button.

Same holds true with the modes, to view and program the additional 8 modes press page down.

It should hold 256 Channels total

Good Luck

Hey thanks man! Sometime's I'm really amazed at how simple things can be sometimes!

One last ?: Did GE release a programming manual for the S825 RSS? Most of the programming seems to be self-figurable, but it would be nice to read a manual first!

They did.
I cant remember the LBI#, but a downloadable version should be on http://www.radtek.ws

LBI# 38991? That's the closest thing I could find, and it's about the S825 Flash Programming. Is there anything that discusses the S825 RSS?

I will have to find the correct lbi for you

I have one but it is lost somewhere upstairs, but don't spend any effort trying to find one: it will tell you nothing.

RE: "yet everyone I talk to says that they can hold 450 or more channels!"

I have an old GE sales brochure dated 1990 that describes the 825 heads as being capable of "448 channel capability with Delta, 432 with Rangr". My most complicated setup is about 100 channels. I've always thought someday I will sit down and try to max one out, and get to the truth, one and for all! =)

And if it's only 128 or 250 or whatever, who cares?; that blue backlighting is so cool... =)

Oh! One other thing - someone said that eachmode holds 16 channels. If you solder in a socket for another X2122 eprom, then you can load up 32 channels per mode. I've done it on several Rangrs and nothing else it required. Just solder the socket, insert the chip, and it's ready to be programmed. Just do it.
