Encryption question

[Res21cue]

Hi guys. So I have 2 NX-210 portable radios. I programmed them both with the same code plug by simply unplugging the cord from one radio and putting it on the next with the only exception being that I changed the Unit ID from 1 to a 2. I created the encryption key and enabled it on the channel I wanted it an wrote the code plug to both radios. Now, one radio will receive just fine but the other one will only show activity on the channel but no audio comes through. What could I have done wrong? Its the same encryption key, all I did was move the cable between radios. Thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

Set the UID to the same number and see what happens.

If they are truly identical, then it should work. If you have some other options programmed that might be looking at the UID as part of the function, you'll have issues. Kind of hard to answer with the limited info you've provided.

what firmware? Between 4.0 and 4.7 there was an issue.

That was actually going to be my next question...

When I write to one of the radios, no issues, but then I try to write the same code plug to the next radio and I get a warning that the firmware of the radio does not support some stuff. I can take a screen shot if needed.

How does a person go about updating the firmware to the latest?

Talk into one radio, it comes across the other crisp, clean and clear. Talk into the other radio and nothing comes across the mate but the activity light is on showing activity.

Honestly, your dealer or sales rep. Should not be all the hard. They could charge a fee for the firmware,
or bench time to update it for you, but that's the legal and legit way.
