XG-75M VERSION R03D09 PROGRAMMING WITH RPM10B

[brian86]

I HAVE A XG-75M P25 PHASE2 TRUNKING RADIO THAT WAS PROGRAMMED WITH A NEWER VERSION OF RPM. WHEN I SEND A PERSONILITY TO THE RADIO I GET AN COMMUNICATIONS ERROR. HOWEVER WHEN I READ THE RADIO IT REPLIES IT WAS PROGRAMMED WITH A NEWER VERSION OF RPM.
ANY IDEAS OR SUGGESTION TO LOAD MY PERSONILITY?

Time to upgrade your RPM

 

[brian86]

True. Another question, during programming radio displayed error 0510. Can you explain?

Downgrade the firmware to match your version of RPM.

Thank You.

Hi,

I have 10b software, i don't know how to downgrade firmware. Do I use maintenance utility? Is the firmware in the software?

 

[Forts]

Just replied to your PM. You need to use RPM to load the firmware, and those files are acquired seperately.

 

[brian86]

Well, I'm new to this programming thing. I got an XG-75M off EBAY and want to install a few non p25 frequencies to see how RPM works. Can't get pass the ERR=0510. Understand need to downgrade firmware to match RPM10B. I don't have a clue how to pull that off. Is there an instruction page or outline as to what steps I need to complete to load a file? Where do you find firmware files? Thanks for responding.

If it was one of these, you purchased off eBay, then Phase 2 won't work. You need to prchase P25 Trunking before trunking or Phase 2 will function on those radios.

You will need to spend another $800-$1000.

Yeah I noticed those was missing 39.

 

[brian86]

Thanks for the heads up, my unit has 39 and 47.

hi again, What is the newest firmware that rpm10b can load? I have a CS7000 with m7300 and would like to use the voice announcement feature.

 

[Forts]

R02A26 for RPM10.

 

[brian86]

R02A26 for RPM10.

Thank You.

 

[brian86]

R02A26 for RPM10.

If I had XGP-R5A, could I load it with rpm10b to make m7300 a xg75m?

 

[TDR-94]

No.

I contacted a local dealer and asked about getting option 47. After paying some $$$ i am waiting for Harris to send me the new option string to update my m7300 radio to do phase 2. I am totally surrounded by 700/800 both phase 1 and phase 2 systems here in the DC Metro Area. I also have 2 XG100p and a KNG2 P800 as well.

If you don't mind sharing, how much did you pay for phase 2?

So I have a really basic question about firmware and mobiles such as the M7300. From what I gather the CH-721 come with it's own discrete firmware file. If I buy a stand-alone control head, should I ask the seller to verify the firmware?

For example this CH-721 indicates in 2012 it had BurnApp 3.1 and MainApp R6C05. If I were to use with this a M7300 with R06M03, would that cause major problems? Or am I better off to buy a control head and brick together?

Also can someone explain or provide a link to a technical document indicating what these terms mean in relation to each other and in the context of the Harris Firmware structure?:

Most likely you're fine. Our M7300's will update the control head automagically via the CAN cable if it has a newer one available (puts the CH721 into Serial Download mode...DON'T power cycle, it takes a while).

As far as firmware, I don't remember what all of them are off hand. BurnApp you can wipe OTP/XGP/XLP code and/or it's stored config for each code mode.
