Atmega programmer 18.00 vs 18.432 mhz

[oosnapdood]

I dug up an old 3900 receiver and was thinking bout going Atmega route.

I was looking around at cards and programmers and was wondering if there is a compatibility difference between programmer/cards that are fitted with 18.432mhz crystals as oppsed to 18mhz crystals?

I understand that these cards are programmed differently from the 102s, but functionality wise, do they do the same thing?

edit: it has been brought to my attention that this technology is outdate for our applications? is that the concensus?

"I understand that these cards are programmed differently from the 102s, but functionality wise, do they do the same thing?"

No, they don't. Atmega128 will proccess a lot of the commands that a 102 will, but no where near the same amount nor at a speed that matches. Not sure about the new atmega256, this will be closer but still, I doubt, will not be the same.

I'm running a 508 with Atmega128 18.432 with no issues at all, not sure what the big difference would be with a 102. I'm also running a 3100 with an Atmega128 18mhz crystal and don't see any issues either....I do have a few 102 cards and see no need to use them yet.

Thanks for the input. are atmega cards loaded with the same channel tiers?

I am running both cards 1800 18.432 working ok still get the freezing once in a while .... but other than that all is good

simple freezing for a product that was suppose to be obsolete three years ago is really amazing. I wish i would of kept my atmega's. I am about ready to order some more, but I don't want to piss off the atmega community, cuz if i buy one they will knock them out, that is just my luck! lol

lol Crazy we don't know how long this ride will be anyhow buy them up lol

[Crazy1_79]

Man if they went out tonite, you guys had one hell of a ride, if you had it month and it went out forever you still spent less than a dollar a day. that is just good cheap tv right there. and the new wicked loader is just amazing. unbelievable the ease to make local remap and private info.

For sure I spent too much on the 102's loaders and such this is like so simple and cheep... Just love it... And I realy can't say enough about the people here for help... I am still learning lots and as kramer says and LOVING IT...lol

I will always be a rom 102 guy, I love plastic, but I am starting to grow quite fond of atmegas.
