I read my codeplug and detached my radio from my rib like I've done 9 zillion times before with my licensed copy of CPS.
Saved it to the desktop and started editing it. Which brings up another question. How are the new radios using any made up number for DPLs and my HT is stuck with the random numbers in the list?
Anyway, read a CP200 and was adding those personalities in my HT as another zone. I never hooked it back up. Then realized I was using a outdated version of CPS and uninstalled my old version and updated my CPS and went back to editing my saved codeplug off of my desktop.
I never read or wrote to the radio again. I looked at it a littler later after having the DPL problem I was talking about... was trying to add a personality and noticed it had a DPL of 052 that the CP200 was happy with but my HT was telling me to get bent..
anyway, I had given up, detatched my radio and looked down at it thinking I had turned it off or the battery had died. Nope. Its bricked. And I didn't do anything but read it.
I did some reading on here. I have a few various old copies of labs but nothing for my 1250. And no 1250 codeplugs to even attempt a force. I pulled the little watch battery for a bit as someone else said that brought theirs back.
But how the hell did I brick it just reading it? I didn't get interrupted in the process and like I said, I was editing a saved copy of the file. Never attempted to write anything back.
Any suggestions on causation or revival?
Ordered a XPR7550e Have to have a radio. Just wondering if the old girl is salvageable...?
