Anyone know how to program a Linton LT6288?
 

I just bought this programmable UHF, and so far its awesome. Had to look up FRS/GMRS freq's and enter them in manually, but got it working with my standard radios well. The only problem, the manual was in chinese (despite advertising), and I dont want to have to carry around a sheet of frequencies and enter them in manually all the time.

Does anyone know how to program in channels/presets? Or better yet know where I can find a downloadable PDF manual in english since I would like to learn all the various functions? (google just sucks, an hour trying to find a manual/pdf and all im getting is either ebay sites, retailer sites or just bizzare totally unrelated hits)

This might help.

good lord.. you think a google search of "linton 6288 manual" would be able to find a hit like that. *sigh* god i hate google, or it hates me.. either way there is much hatred there!!! grrrr

Thanks HUGELY for the link tho. Gonna make life alot easier for me. :)

No problem.

I've been thinking about picking up the same radio for a while now.

I was researching it tonight and came across the manual in English. I saw your post a few minutes later, so I knew right where to find it.

Just good timing I guess.

Well I havnt been able to field it yet, (just got it today) I can already say it sounds way nicer than those motorola talkabout 700's I have been using up till now. It heavier, but practically the same size. The screenshots didnt prepare me for just how small this puppy is.

I also picked up a pair of these headsets too. A 2pin for this radio, and a 1pin to try on the old motorolas. For 12 bucks they are phenominal headsets. Low profile and they grip the ear really well. heh, did the "headbanger" thing to make sure and it stuck on nicely. I'm feeling confident that it wont pop off midgame.

Using that link you gave me I have already programmed in the 22 standard channels. I even differentiated channels 1-13 as 2w low power channels and 14-22 as 4w high power channels. Its easy as cake once you have the manual to decipher the buttons. lol

How long was the shipping time before it got to your door?

Did you get hit by customs?

I have a ex-girlfriend of mine in Beijing looking for one for me today... I'm debating on if i should let her go through the hassle of finding one and shipping it to me or if i should just order one from where you ordered your's.

i've got a 6288, had to program it on the computer with a program for it and a usb cable.

It takes approximately 10 sec. to program the 6288 with the serial cable and config file.

about 10 business days from that site. nothing from customs either. Didnt even look like they opened it for inspection.

programmed mine to gish's new file but now i cant connect to cobra radios!

^I hope this works for you.

alot of us use Lintons in alberta they absolutley kick ass. I think around 100 have been thru Joc

So, cable and software. Where to get?

Yes I do have a COM port on the lap

OK so I've got the cable, I've got the disc and other than it's half in chinese it seems to be going along.

Right now I can punch up the RX frequencies on the software, but I can't seem to find to punch in the CCTS. Any other tips?

If I key up a talkabout I can hear it on the Linton, but when I key up the Linton the Talkabout does't receive.

Make sure the talkabout isnot in a sub channel like 6.1 instead of 6
