Hi out there!
I just wanted to confirm that it _is_ possible to program the XTS5000 with a selfmade level converter. It took me a MAX232, a 78L05, five capacitors, the connectors, and there it was - the selfmade programming interface! Just different pinout, compared to Jedi radios, and 4 data lines (TXD, RXD, CTS, RTS) instead of the common TXD/RXD interfaces.

Not trying to toot my own horn, but I posted this back in December of last year. Look towards the bottom. I forwarded it to Bat, but I haven't seen it there yet....

Yes, thats the way I hooked the radio to the PC. Seems you had been the first one here :) So all the talk about some secret smart chip in the cables seems to be a load of BS *g*

Yeah, I got an email from panter, offering it up for $115 in early Jan. Oh well, happy the info got out there.
As for the chip, it's a method of enumerating the usb cable and identifying it to the host, no rocket science, but I don't grok programming yet, so I figured I would stick with what I could build for $5. Pity the GE programmer is so convoluted, you could almost use one if it weren't for the flash voltage cuircutry, all the same lines are there.
