Z-273 EPROM Board:

NOTE: For the CTCSS and receiver to work properly [ie audio out to speaker to work] on the Midland

70-066 transceivers – Make sure the 8 pin plug is plugged into the white 8 pin socket J903 on the Z-273

EPROM board.

There are two methods of changing the EPROM data for different frequencies,

1. Using a MRP70-1000C (MRP-70) programmer box and software. This method allows you to

program the EPROM on the Z-273 board, without de-soldering the EPROM from the Z-273 board.

The programmer box can be purchased in Australia for approx $300 or from the US for approx

$450 US; or;

2. Remove the Z-273 board from the Synthesizer Board. Then remove the 2716 EPROM using de-

soldering equipment from the EPROM board. Then solder a low profile 24 pin socket to the

EPROM board.

Reprogram EPROM with 6 meter firmware, by using the VK2DOT RT85 software or any other

software.
