GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MIDLAND SYN-TECH 70-342XL and 70-442XL VHF wide-band Land-Mobile
transceivers are mobile two-way radios designed to operate on FM
channels between 136 to 174 MHz. There are two varieties of the SYNTECH 70-342XL and 70-442XL transceivers, each designed to operate on
different channel frequency range: the A-band radios (70-342AXL
442AXL) on the 136-163 MHz range; the B-band radios (70-342BXL
442BXL) on the 148-174 MHz range. SYN-TECH transceivers have the
capacity to operate on up to eighty operator selectable channels, each
of which can be programmed in the service shop.

E/PROM PROGRAMMING
The 70-342XL and 70-442XL transceivers contain an Erasable/Program-
mable Read Only Memory (E/PROM) module. The module holds specific
customer frequencies, feature selections, and other parameters that
determine radio operation.
Before final alignment and check, the module must be reprogrammed with
customer specifics. If any option add-on kits are to be installed,
appropriate parameters may also need to be programmed as instructed in
respective kit installation literature.
To change ElPROM electronic information, the plug-in module must first
be erased by exposing it to ultraviolet light using the MIDLAND 701100/1101 ElPROM Eraser. Then, reprogramming is necessary using the
MIDLAND 70-1000 ElPROM Programmer. Operation parameter information is
entered into the Programmer through its keypad, converted into binary
data useful to the transceiver, then written into the E/PROM.
The following are programmable operation parameters in the SYN-TECH
mobile transceivers. See the 70-1000 E/PROM Programmer Operator's
Manual (No. 70-999113) for details.
1.
All eighty transmit and eighty receive channel frequencies
2.
All standard CTCSS tones for each TX and RX channel (requires
installation of the CTCSS module within the transceiver)
3. Time-out-timer time (maximum continuous transmission
duration)
4.
Scan parameters as follows:
a. Two scan groups, each containing up to sixty-four
channels

b.
c. Either presence or absence of carrier or correct CTCSS
d. Channel sampling rate (time spent looking for carrier
e. CTCSS decode time (time allotted for decoding after
f. Scan hold time (delay of scan resume after channel
g. Post-transmit scan hold time (delay of scan resume
h. Retention of scan list channels deleted (skipped) by
5.
Busy channel lockout with or without alert tone to the
operator. Adding jumpers allows busy channel inhibit by
CTCSS tone status. See "BCLO JUMPERING".

70-342https://manualmachine.com/442~~
H1 VERSION UPGRADE
The E/PROM programmer, model 70-1000, must contain H1 or later version
software to program all features and parameters into the 2-273 E/PROM
modules that are used in the 70-342XL and 70-442XL transceivers. The
version level of software installed in the programmer is identified
for one second in the two far right digits displayed after power-up.
If your programmer contains software that,is older (lower letter) than
the H1 version, upgrade is required. To date of this printing, the
newer L3 version software is current and available (in its own E/PROM)
in Update Kit No. 70-1411. The 70-1000 Operator's Manual also has
been rewritten. The May, 1985 printing can be ordered as MIDLAND part
number 70-999113.
CDCSS OPTION
If the Continuous Digital Coded Squelch System option is installed in
the transceiver, the ElPROM Module is different. This Module, MIDLAND
number 70-2402, is larger in size to accommodate an additional receptacle for connection to the CDCSS board. When programming, the ElPROM
type selection entered into the Programmer is the same as for the
standard EIPROM.
ElPROM MODULE REMOVAL
The E/PROM module is a small (1"
x
2") plug-in printed circuit board
that contains IC951 and IC952, and is labeled 2-273. It is located on
the Transmitter Board, over the microprocessor IC901. For replacement
purposes, the ElPROM module model number is 70-2401.
Always disconnect primary power to the transceiver before removing the
E/PROM module. Loosen the four transceiver top cover screws and lift
the cover off. Pull the E/PROM module straight upward to separate it
from its two connectors (see below).
