I'll post this so that everyone can see it.

With the x90 series with OST (at least with the Silverado "CDF" conversions ), there is a bug in the KPG software that is well known. One of the OST slots, usually Tone 15, will drop the tone when reading and editing, and before writing back to the radio, you have to go into the OST table and add that tone back in. It will give that exact error message...it means that there is a blank in the table somewhere.

Look at the table, fill in any obvious blanks, and retry.

normal 90 series without CDF Firmware will do OST. use latest firmware, I cant remember the latest revision, someone will have it

I am running into this problem with a TK-890H. I can read the radio using V2.10 on a Windows 7 PC. The program loads no problem. When I go in and make any changes to the codeplug and make an attempt to write that change to the radio, I get the OST error "Operator Selectable Tone with an only OST Name is programmed".

I do not have anything in this field nor am I using any of these features. I need to program the radio for basic functions. I am using the KPG-44D software. I have read the forums about going into line 14 and line 15 and deleting the line. When I go into the OST table, line 14 and line 15 are already empty.

What is the easiest way to rectify this problem?

Thanks,
Nick

Maybe just put in some ost in the list and just dont assign ost to a button and see what it does

This is probally way to late but might help others, My fix is to highlight all fields in the OST and then delete. This removed any spaces or other information causing the error. After deleting all, no more issues!
