DMR NOW ORDERABLE FOR VP8000

[kd4efm]

dmr t-2
This option is required to enable the DMR Tier II protocol for the VP8000. VP8000 Firmware version 8.40.x or later is required to support DMR Tier II. Also requires as a prerequisite to have a digital protocol such as P25 Conventional enabled.

Just an FYI the 8.40.13 firmware has been pulled due to an issue per tech support and is no longer available. They are working on identifying the issue and will release a new firmware but could not given an ETA.

 

[otobmark]

8.40.14 is available. Maybe the fix?

Correct, this version fixed the issue identified in 8.40.13.

I updated my Armada to 1.40.13 and my firmware to the new 8.40.14 in order to load my DMR license and now I lost my keypad programming option and wideband disabled is now checked. Has anyone else had this happen?

 

[dryfb]

Digital such as p25? Is the such hinting at NXDN possibly being added?

 

[natedawg1604]

So would this be compatible with Hytera conventional DMR repeaters?

Wow. Thanks for the heads up!

Should be, yes.

Officially, not at this time.

30,000 foot observation, it's not currently a consideration but it may find itself on the road map one day. Tier III and mobile are the next major milestones. Personally, I think that NXDN functionality would depend on what JVCK decides to do with the next gen successor to the current NX-5000's.

See my obligatory signature...

Was this the results of upgrading firmware or was it adding DMR option that caused the problem?

My area is going NXDN for public safety, one city is DMR though so this would be a great radio for that if they add NXDN. I'd also like to be able to have p25 on UHF and VHF for coast guard and border patrol listening. I'll keep saving for an NX5000 for right now though

Has anyone tried loading DMR into a radio that is not the VP8000 (VM7000, etc.)? I know they haven't said anything about DMR being supported in radio models other than the VP8000 but it does show up as an available option when you look at the radio properties in Armada. Wondering if anyone has heard anything or tried it to know if it works.

The firmware will prevent that, and in the CEVO (radio config) it is not an option for any radio but the VP8K.

Thanks for the quick response. I figured that was probably the case, just wanted to be sure.

Just got it the other day from KD4EFM. Very easy to do business with.

KD4EFM, sorry i know this is not a reply to this thread, however i cannot find a direct message anywhere to ask you a question! i am looking at an NX-720HG radio. are you able to scan both analog and digital channels at the same time? currently have an nx-5200 portable that'll do so.... so i want to make sure the 720 will offer that same thing?

we have a mix of analog and digital from where i'm from. want to make sure it's a decent radio that'll do both

DMR is working great with my OpenSpot 4 Pro. It's excellent to finally have an all-in-one radio.

the NX-720 has the ability to do MIXED MODE RX. then again, I'd point you to a nx-3720 and you'd be happier.

same thing with the nx-700h? and is that better then the 720hg? i'd love the step up to the nx-3720, but ebay has some good deals on the 700's LOL
