GETC SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
The GETC software installation procedure involves
installing the latest version of the EPROM containing the
GETC operating software.
NOTE
Download applicable Field Macros into the PC
Programmer TQ-3357 prior to configuring the
GETC software.
The following procedures provide instructions for
installing the GETC software when the GETC functions in
a Failsoft System, a Fully Trunked System, or a Satellite
Site Receiver or Simulcast Remote Transmitter:

Trunked Failsoft System
Perform the following steps when installing the
software in a GETC connected in a Trunked Failsoft
system.
NOTE
Upgrading to Group 4 or Group 5 software is
backward compatible in functionality with
349A9607G1 & G2 and 19A149256G18 thru G21
software in the Failsoft operation. However, the
GETC hardware must be upgraded to include the
Turbo Board with 344A4414G4 or Group 5
software, respectively, and Ferrite Toroid. The
Logic board must be upgraded with the 80C320
microprocessor (U1), and 19A704727P4 Modem
(U4 & U19), refer to the Upgrading Hardware
section for details.
1. Power down the channel and place the GETC into
the service position. Refer to LBI-38894 if
necessary.
2. If upgrading from 19A149256G21 (or earlier)
software, remove RAM chip U3 and install Turbo
Board. Refer to LBI-38822 for instructions.
3. Ensure Modem chips U4 and U19 are TI AMPS
modems 19A704272P4. TI Amps modems are
required when upgrading to 349A9607G4 (or
later), replace if necessary.
4. Ensure microprocessor U1 is the “Speedy”
microprocessor 80C320 (RYT 121 6060/A). This
processor is required when upgrading the software
to 349A9607G4 (or later). The processor is
available in the Speedy Upgrade Kit SPK9505.
Replace if necessary. Refer to LBI-38894 for
installation instructions.
5. Ensure Turbo Board harness has Ferrite Toroid
installed. Toroid is included in the SPK9505
Speedy Upgrade Kit. Replace if necessary. Refer
to LBI-38822 for installation instructions.
6. Remove the old EPROM (U2) from the GETC
Logic Board.
7. Install the new EPROM into the XU2 socket,
being sure to properly orient the chip.
8. Remove EEPROM U35, if necessary, from the
Logic Board. The GETC personality will reside in
the Turbo Board and this device is no longer
required.
9. Power up the channel.
10. Place the Turbo processors U1 and U2 in the
program mode by switching Turbo Board switches
S2 and S3 toward the front of the Turbo Board.
11. Download the Turbo Board Software from the disk
provided in the Turbo Media Kit, 344A4414.
Refer the Turbo Board Software Installation
section, SRN1060, SRN1062, and LBI-38822.
12. After downloading the Turbo Board software,
move switches S2 and S3 toward the back of the
Turbo Board and press the GETC Logic Board
Reset button, S4.
13. The two LEDs on the Turbo Board should light.
14. Program the GETC’s personality using the
Personality Programming procedures contained in
