• To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:

    Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.

    If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.

    To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.

    The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.

    For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).

    This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

According to my notes, you have a problem with power amp. Couple questions,

A) How old is this unit? May still be in warrenty.
B) What do you have the power level set at? I like to run mine at at 85%.
C) Is this a heavyly used repeater?
D) Using the software, look at the internal temp. If to high, it will clamp the PA.

Here is a code list

List of error codes for the IC-FR3000/FR4000 series.
Date of issued: 2004/06/01
Error Codes Description
ALT1 Warning Code of the abnormalities in temperature of the final stage of the transmitting circuits. (I.e. It displays when the temperature of the final stage of the transmitting circuits increases due to condition of the antenna.) PA Unit Temp. Check the temperature settings in the software. Cause - PA over heating or PA is going bad.

ALT2 Warning Code of the abnormalities in temperature with the power supply. Regulator Unit Temp
ALT3 Warning Code of the PLL unlock in transmit.
ALT4 Warning Code of the PLL unlock in reception.

01HALT34 Out Of Freq Range This means ALT3 and ALT4
