LPE200 Question & P7200ip Question EDACS

[staceyholt]

Hey guys, I have a couple questions I hope someone can answer-
I have a P7200ip multimode radio for sale I took in on trade, and would like to check the installed options list before I put it out there for sale. Thing is, I cannot get it to pull up the options, or anything else. The buttons are responsive, as the backlight comes on for 5 or 10 seconds, then goes off, but no other menu, or sub menu comes up. The first line of the display shows RX:764006250, the second line shows TX:764006250, and the third line shows P25 NB.....

I also have an LPE200 that refuses to talk to the programmer. I aquired the radio from a surplus sale in Florida, and intended on using it with our agencys system, but cannot get it to talk to the programmer. The LCD says NO PROG. I am wondering if someone at the radio shop that de-programmed it somehow "bricked" it to prevent anyone else from using it, or maybe he was hoping to buy it at the sale and I outbid him. Is there any way (or anyone) that may have an idea as to how to "un" brick it?

Thanks for your time, Stacey

The radio is in Testapp, the conventional (sort of) alignment application that the radio comes out of the factory with. The best thing to do is to connect it to a programming cable and a PC, use Hyperterminal or something like set to 19.2, 8 data,1 stop, no parity and put it into burnapp (the flash programming utility using the command "atz-1". Then type "atz 999" and it will tell you which modes it supports - the ones you'll want are 9 (OpenSky) and 15 (ECP or EDACS).

If it doesn't have anything but Testapp, you've got a stolen radio - and since I'm almost positive that no P7200 radios were shipped with Testapp that's what I think you have. Sorry....

Put the LPE into program mode by turning it on while holding all of the 3 buttons on the side down together. The display will be all black. You should then be able to get it to talk just fine. If it doesn't, you'll probably need to recover it - follow the instructions in the maint tool. Before you do that, you mihgt want to read out and save the feature data and tracking data.....
