   PROGRAMMING PROBLEMS

   Communications problems between the software and the
   radio are by far the most frequently encountered pro-
   gramming problems. Common problems and cures are as
   follows:

     - Operating system conflicts.  These are common with
       Windows 95/98, occasional with Windows 3.x.  Shut 
       down Windows and run directly from DOS if these 
       problems are encountered.  MS-DOS 5.0 or higher is 
       required, 6.0 or higher is recommended.

     - Software conflicts.  Any communications or device
       drivers, or other TSRs that may use the same COM
       port or IRQ may conflict with the programming
       software, preventing either or both upload and/or
       download functions.  These can occur even in compu-
       ters that otherwise can successfully program other
       Vertex radios.  If this conflict is suspected, re-
       boot your computer with a system disk or a bypass
       keyboard command so that only DOS and the CE44
       software are running.  Most computers will auto-
       matcally load mouse, modem and/or sound card
       drivers without any prompt from the user, even if
       those devices are not connected or used.

     - Programming cable configuration problems. Use only
       the CT-42 or 42A programming cable set, or their
       successors. Do not attempt to use the VPL-1 cables
       or the ADMS (amateur) cables. Plug the 9 pin D-Sub
       plug directly into a 9 pin COM port on your
       computer.
       If you must use a 25 pin port, ensure that you use
       a compatible 9-to-25 pin serial adapter, and not a
       "null modem" adapter.  Serial extension cables,
       A/B switch boxes, and other similar items placed
       between the CT-42 cable and the COM port may also
       cause communications problems.  Be sure to use both
       pieces of the CT-42 programming cable. The 3
       contact mini-stereo plug at the end of the main
       part of the cable will physically fit into the VX-
       160/180's jack, but will not accommodate programming.
       Attach the short pigtail adapter onto the main
       cable, then insert the four contact plug on the
       pigtail adapter into the jack on the VX-160/180.

     - Clock Index incompatibility.  The CE44 software
       displays the Clock Index of your computer in the
       top half of the main programming screen. The Clock
       Index is a relative indication of your computer's
       processing speed, and is roughly related to the
       computer's main processor type, clock speed, and
       loading by other running software.  A minimum 
       Clock Index of 17 is required in order to success-
       fully program the VX-160/180. This is roughly 
       equivalent to the 80286 processor running at 12 MHz.
       There is  no stated maximum Clock Index, but you 
       may encounter failures to program with the newest 
       and fastest processor types. The CE44 software is 
       updated periodically to accommodate faster 
       processors.

     - Data signal level and EEPROM write voltage prob-
       lems.  These occur less often. If your laptop
       computer's internal battery is weak, it may not
       develop sufficient data signal level.  Plug in to
       your AC power supply and this problem should not
       occur.  If your VX-160/180's battery is near 
       completely discharged, it may not develop enough 
       voltage to write to the EEPROM(s).  Replace it with
       a charged battery.
