37: FM900 Field Personality Programmer (FPP) Guide:
This section has been added for remote users who have an EPROM burner and need to setup their own
EPROM for 6 Meters, 2 Meters or 70 CMeters. The information below is applicable to FPP Version 3.0 – the
altered version.
Hardware Code made up of eight digits: (ie: ABCDEFGH)
The hardware code for a FM92E with remote head for 6 Meters = 92240000
A - always 9 for FM900 mobiles
B – 1 = High Simplex (FM91)
2 = Medium Simplex (FM92)
3 = Low Simplex (FM93)
7 = FM92 with FM91 PCBs (FM97)
C - Band 2 = E band ( 66- 88 MHz)
3 = B band (132-153 MHz)
4 = A band (148-174 MHz)
5 = T band (403-440 MHz)
6 = U band (440-470 MHz)
7 = W1 band (470-500 MHz)
8 = W2 band (500-520 MHz)
NOTE: These are the suggested Transmitter limits, however Receiver limits can
be programmed up to 30 MHz either side of the specified band edge. No
guarantee of PLL lock, however.
D – Radio Type 1 = local control 25.0 KHz Channel Spacing 10.7MHz IF
2 = remote control 25.0 KHz Channel Spacing 10.7MHz IF
3 = local control 25.0 KHz Channel Spacing 21.4MHz IF
4 = remote control 25.0 KHz channel spacing 21.4MHz IF
5 = local control 12.5 KHz Channel Spacing 10.7MHz IF
6 = remote control 12.5 KHz Channel Spacing 10.7MHz IF
7 = local control 12.5 KHz channel spacing 21.4MHz IF
8 = remote control 12.5 KHz channel spacing 21.4MHz IF
E – Mechanical Construction 0 = standard
1 = extended temperature, 5ppm (crystal heater)
2 = waterfroof
3 = extended temperature & waterproof
5 = extended temperature TXCO
7
= extended temperature range, waterproof TXCO
(when using a waterproof radio, a waterproof option in the hardware)
F – Signalling Hardware 0 = none
1 = CTCSS encode only
2 = CTCSS encode/decode
3 = No CTCSS, Selcall type 1(G=>1)
(Selcall type 1 = encode only)
4 = CTCSS encode, Selcode type 1
5 = CTCSS encode/decode, Selcode type 1
6 = No CTCSS, Selcode type 2
(type 2 = encode/decode selcall)
7 = CTCSS encode, Selcode type 2
8 = CTCSS encode/decode, Selcode type 2
Note on Selcall encode & decode: Selcall type 1 can both send selcalls
and respond to only one received selcall code and group call if
applicable. Selcall type 2 can both send selcalls and respond to and
