Does anyone out there have the pin-outs for the RSS cable for a Comtegra tone remote? We programmed a few units 5 years ago, and appear to have lost our cable in the interim. I have checked but cannot find it on the Batlabs site. Thanks guys.

Ignore my last post guys, I have found the cable, turns out it's identical to the RIB to PC cable, no rib needed for programming, for anyone else who may need the information.

Wavetar, note that GAI, who makes the Comtegra said to make sure to NOT run the software on ANY computer with windows 9X or above. Be especially sure to boot with DOS 6.22. They said if not, you may corupt the "code plug" in the Comtegra. I have had to unscrewup a couple of Comtegra's because of the dreaded Windows' DOS. This Comtegra software is only for DOS 6.xx.

Thanks Will, I recently heard the same from the good people at Gai when talking to them about another issue. By the way, if anyone out there has issues with their Comtegra tone remote occasionally not keying a base station properly, AND the unit is known to have been properly programmed with DOS 6.xx, AND it is more than 2 years old...there is a firmware upgrade available, it involves changing two IC's in the unit, cost is about $100 U.S.
