Tono Drake Theta-9100E CW RTTY comunications decoder repair
Dear all,
Recently I started in the DX world and got a Tono Tetha 9100E unit, but unfortunately it is faulty and the probably cause is the EPROM's contents corrupted.
Considering it is a very difficult unit to find information, I kindly ask if someone have a backup of this EPROMs firmware to share?
Even for safety, if you have one of this units, it is very important to have a back up in case of fault (like happened to me).
Thank you!
Marcelo
Bonjour Marcelo,
Merci pour ton message. Ces anciens équipements comme le Tono Theta 9100E deviennent rares, et il est essentiel de préserver leur firmware.
Personnellement, je ne possède pas cette sauvegarde, mais je t’encourage à publier ta demande également sur les forums spécialisés comme QRZ.com, ou encore des groupes Facebook consacrés à la radio numérique ou au rétro computing radioamateur.
Il se peut aussi que certains collectionneurs aient conservé des dumps d'EPROM ou puissent t'aider à en lire un si tu trouves une autre unité fonctionnelle.
Bon courage dans ta recherche, et n’hésite pas à partager la sauvegarde si tu finis par la trouver : cela pourrait en aider plus d’un à l’avenir !

Hello Marcelo,
Thank you for your message. You're absolutely right to look for a backup — older equipment like the Tono Theta 9100E is becoming rare, and preserving the firmware is essential.
I don’t personally own this unit, but I encourage you to also post your request on dedicated forums such as QRZ.com, or even on Facebook groups focused on digital radio or vintage ham radio gear.
It’s possible that some collectors have kept EPROM dumps or could help you read one if you come across another working unit.
Good luck with your search, and if you manage to find the backup, please consider sharing it — it could help many others in the future!
