DESCRIPTION
The ComputerBasedProgrammeris designedto produceconfigurationdata used to programMidland
Syn-TechXTRand 8-ChannelMobiles.Usingthis program,radioconfiguration ls createdand maintainedby
a servicetechnicianand thentransferredto the radioas a singlepacketof data.Thispacketof datawill be
referredto in this manualas the Configuration
Data.lf a radioconfiguration
shouldneedto be changed,the
Configuration Datacanbe extractedfromthe radlo,editedby thisprogramandagalntransferredbackto the
radio.This ConfigurationDatacan be storedin a DOSdisk file for archivalstorageor for later use.The
ConfigurationDatacan alsobe prlntedusingthe computer'sparallelprinterinterface.

A test modeis alsoprovHedwhereina servicetechniclancan performvarloustestson a connectedradio.

TheConfiguration
Dataconsistsof Radioldentification Data(forupto 99channels),
Data,Channel andRadio
OptionData.

PC HARDWAREREQUIREMENTS
TheComputerBasedProgrammer
hasbeendesignedto runon IBM-PCclassmachines.
ThisincludesPC,
XT,andAT clones.

ln orderto run,the programrequiresat leasta monochromeboardand80-columnmonitor(youcanalsouse

a colorsystem),512Kof RAM,anddiskstorage.A harddriveis recommended, buta ffoppydisksystemwill
alsowork.An optionalparallelprintercan be usedto printreports.

A Midland70-1308A
cableis requiredfor connecting
the radioto the computer.

To connectthe radioto the computer,firstconnectthe 70-1308A to eitherCOMt or COM2of the computer.

Thenconnectthe 70-1308A to programming port of the radio.Powerup the radiowhenyou are readyto
beginprogramming.
