Need help Hytera rd982S

[Sgtgm]

I recently purchased 3 hytera RD982S (uhf 400-470) spit repeaters from a SK estate.The problem I am having is when I try to program them both the PC37 and 47 cables upon power up I hear the usb tone and after approx 10 secs it diconnects the usb and won't read the repeater.Acts like it is dealer locked out as none of the front keys work and the displays don't light up.All 3 do exactly the same thing.The back plate show V6.1.03.003.I don't know if it has been updated as I can't read it.Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated.

The repeaters go through there startup and digital light is flashing blue at the end of startup sequence

Sent you a PM

Sounds like a USB issue
As long as the programming cable is set to CPS and not FW it should read. Iv had this issue with a specific laptop it didnt like the USB ports but would work on one of them and not the other

Programming you can add a read/write password when reading the repeater you need to enter a password and same for writing back to it since you havnt made it THAT far cant say for sure if it has that

For the buttons being locked out its just a keypad lock to prevent accidental button hits.
One of the 4 buttons is programmed for keypad lock. Try pushing each one and if nothing happens push and hold each 1 for 2-3 seconds and see if anything happens

Tried the button push both ways no luck.I will try another computer.Thanks for the info some information I found states dealer software can lock out the display and front buttons but I can't find any info on that and talking to a hytera dealer today he did not mention anything about that in his email .Sent me a bunch of firmware update downloads but cant even do that.Yup I watch between cps and firmware button on the 47 cable.

Is there anything plugged into the DB25 on the back? Iv had some MD/HM radios not want to program due to something plugged into the DB port on the back

Try shutting the repeater off. plug the cable in and put it in FW mode and power the repeater back up and see if it will let you do a FW upgrade or not

Tried all the suggestions so far no luck

It sounds like a USB driver issue and the assigned driver for either cable should be the later or latest something around Hytera V5.30.42.0_64bit and installs as "Digital Radio Solution Provider Modems" published by MMCI Intenral Testing Software. If its a generic Prolific driver or other this could be your conflict on the USB port.

Alternatively, whilst my RD982S dont give me any grief like yours and the key function is same as discussed above, I do have a new old collection of PD700's that were dealer programmed with READ and WRITE passwords + a RENTAL timer option that expired 4 years ago. Some will attempt to read and stay connected continously, but will flag the read and write password once hitting the read or write CPS button, so you should at least see a warning request if applicable to your problem.

Others, will behave exactly like your repeater and connect and disconnect over a 10 second cycle and we suspect its a result of many repeated attempts at guessing the incorrect password and or a software conflict in the hardware ............... which we cant access so far and I have since obtained said dealers password attempting to help me out with this but still not worked. Still working on this one.
