4-6 Test Equipment, Service Aids, and Tools: Field Programming Equipment
The following items, available through the Customer Care and Services Division (except the
computer), are required when programming ASTRO Digital Spectra Model radios.
4.3.1.1 ASTRO Digital Spectra W3 Smart RIB Issue
When flashing a Model W3 mobile radio, the smart RIB box tends to reset if the correct power-up
sequence is not observed. To avoid this problem, you must power up the radio before you use the
smart RIB box. You might damage the control head or the RIB box if you use a modified RIB box to
flash Model W3 radios.
4.3.1.2 ASTRO Digital Spectra Remote W3 Y Cable
The remote Y cable required for high-power Model W3 radios cannot be used for programming. The
accessory connector in this cable does not have the BUS+, BUS-, and BUSY lines.
