APX 7000 startup error

[rbeltz]

When the APX 7000 is powered up I get "FL 01/A2". I looked up the error which states:

FAIL 01/A2​

Tuning Codeplug Checksum​

Reprogram the tuning partition​

I have flashed the firmware to the latest version and rewrote the codeplug. Has anyone encountered this error before?
Thanks.

Was this an ebay special? I remember seeing an APX7000 with that exact error on startup

 

[rbeltz]

No it was not.

Do you have tuner? Read the radio in tuner and write the tuner file back to the radio.

 

[rbeltz]

I will try that. Thank you.

It took me awhile to get the tuner, but I did. I read the radio and saved the tuner file. Then I just tried to write to device, and I get "There are softpot values program failed" I see when I initially read the radio, I have the Host version and DSP version. When I close out and read that tuner file, they are blank.

I just wanted to read and write to see if that would clear the FL 01/A2 error. I did not want to change any values. I see that I just cannot read then write. I have to save the file first then read it. Then the write option appears. I know it is probably user error. If someone could help me out, I would appreciate it. Thanks

This is going to require a trip to the depot for repair. If you do not have the clean tuning file from BEFORE the radio corrupted to load back in, Motorola will have to generate one and program it in, along with a full alignment. The catch now is that they may or may not repair that radio. Our agencies have been hit and miss on 7000s. Sometimes they get fixed, other times they are returned with a note that says "unpreparable".

Would it be possible to read and save a tuning file from another radio that works fine?

 

[Echo4Thirty]

No, the tuning files are tied to the radios serial number.

Thank you.

Use the federal depot. They fix anything.
