- What radios do you own?: HT1550's, X9000's, CDM1550's
where did you get the cable? have you tried it on a different radio? i've seen people wire the rj45 backwards, nobody ever gets pin 1 in the right spot.

I never check PM's so don't bother, just email me.
I won't reply to a hotmail, gmail, aol or any other generic free address, if you want me to reply use a real address.
STOP ASKING ME FOR SOFTWARE OR FIRMWARE, I JUST FORWARD ALL OF THE REQUESTS TO THE MODERATORS

does your rib box work with anything else? has the cable ever worked before?

First of all, if you're using the Windows CPS for the programming, you don't need to use an old 486 boat anchor. That's only for older DOS RSS. You would have to be running Windows 95 on that computer, correct? The software will work much better with Windows 98 & above. Run it on as a new a computer as you wish, assuming it has a serial port.
Secondly, the diagram on batlabs is misleading, and many people (inluding myself) have wired the RJ45 backwards, because they miss the small print stating "tab on top" for the connector. It's a little counter-intuitive.
Worst case, you could build the 25-pin accessory cable if you can't get it working with the mic connector.
