APX4500 Programming

[Kanada2022]

Good day peoples.

New guy here wanting to reprogram a radio model number M22URS9W1AN with flash code 001048-G01400-1. No issues reading or writing to radio. It has an analogue trunking system programmed in it and want to delete the system and program with p25 conventional only channels. Can these radios be programmed with conventional only channels or must a trunking system remain. Unable to delete the existing personalities.

Thank you for any help with this.

You may not be able to delete any of the trunking systems/personalities without the system key. You can try to create a new trunking system, then delete the existing one. Do the same for the trunking personalities, create new, delete the others. CPS requires at least one of each system/personality to remain, you can't delete everything.

Worst case, just leave them be and delete all of the zones/channels/scan lists that have any reference to the system. You may wind up with some invalid fields after doing so, which you'll have to clean up.

That's an analog only radio:

That looks to be a weird flash?...has APCO packet data and ADP but not Astro Digital...

Pretty much every APX comes with Packet Data now, and as for ADP, you have to specify whether you want the radio to be P25 CAP (AES) or not, and if you might use ADP at some point in the future, you have to specify it when ordering.

Thank you all for the quick replies. I will try the add and delete first then upgrade to digital if I get past the first part . thanks again

But as we all know, you can’t actually remove SW ADP from any APX. If you order it with no encryption it’s just sets a flag in the code plug that won’t let you chose any encryption (be it HW or SW).
