(Thanks to RR member Evert for the info and the diagram on the RS 20-047). This can also be seen in the diagram below. The tip is the TTL Tx, the ring is the TTL Rx, and the sleeve is the Ground. Essentially the RS 20-047 is a USB to RS232 adapter via the FTDI FT232BL chip, which is then converted to a TTL device terminated with a 1/8' stereo male TRS connector. What I decided to do, was utilize the Radio Shack Scanner Programming Cable ( USB Scanner Programming Cable - ) which I already owned.

Not only do I prefer USB (mainly because I run macs, and can only use usb serial devices with my XP virtual machine), but I am not the best when it comes to building circuit boards. I took alot of information from Andy's site, and decided to go a slightly different route. If you wish to build a complete solution for yourself you may refer to the wronderful write up already done for you at radioetcetera ( Radio & Electronics Projects - Minitor Programmer) prepared by Andy Knitt. Now, as far as programming interface goes.

I think the PPS is pretty self explanatory so I won't get into details on how to use that.

But for the Minitor V, the software is freely downloadable from Motorola's website. So here goes.ДЇirst of all, no matter which route you go, your going to need the PPS (Pager Programming Software) for the Minitor III & IV they software is sold by Motorola, since it is a paid software I will not post any links or share them here. I have had several requests for me to actually write something up on this for people here at RR that wish to program their Minitor III, IV, and V pager without having to drop hundreds on the Motorola programming cable and programming dock.

Commercial, Professional Radio and Personal Radio.We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola). The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming.

Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate just purchase it.ДЇor M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request.

If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
