Apx2000 programing issue

[jay12]

Using latest version 15 Trying to program my
apx2000 700/800, have a Type II and 2 p25 systems , astro25 800mhz and astro25 700mhz systems. After loading all 3 systems into the software I keep getting an invalid field error 700mhz which won't let me write the radio. It is saying the system type Astro 25 in the P25 is incorrect (red lettering) on the 700mhz band

Thanks in advance for any help.

If you can attach a screenshot, that would be very helpful for clarity.

There are several settings or model flash options working together that might cause any such invalid field. What's it flashed for?

This is the flash code i will try to get screen shots later

Do you have the correct 700 MHz ASTRO 25 Channel ID entries filled in?

 

[jay12]

That was it thanks . Do they all need to be same as control channels aswell

Do they all need to be same as control channels aswell

Your question doesn't make sense, so I suspect that you're not filling out the ASTRO 25 Channel ID table correctly. You can't just put random values into that table. I would suggest that you find someone local who is familiar with both the system you are trying to program, as well as the APX CPS, to help you out.

Didn't think the APX1000/2000/4000 would support both analog/3600 and 9600 systems in the same c/p.

We have 40 APX4000 one-knobs and had to collect them all up from one of our agencies, reprogram in one shot as we migrated from a legacy Smartnet to 7.14 because the radios would not accept both system types.

R0106S-021480-7 is a valid FLASHcode for the APX 2000, and the two system types can coexist within the same codeplug.

They can if QA02811 is removed from the codeplug.

Edit: I know the 4000 can but have had limited experience with the 1000/2000 so can't speak on those.

In 2014 when we were preparing to migrate to our new 800 P25 system from our single site Smartnet system all the new APX6000's were issued out as the final stages of the P25 system was completed and in testing. When they were programmed we had both our Smartnet system as well as our new P25 Phase 1 system. They carried over an identical fleet map from our MTS2000's, as well as the new fleetmaps for the P25 system that way everyone had their new radios in place when we were rolling over.

The way we differentiated the systems was the zone identifiers used Z1, Z2, etc for the Smartnet system, and P1, P2, etc for the P25 system. The mobiles were changed to match as well. Mobile wise we had a mix of MCS2000's & Spectra's that were upgraded to XTL2500's and XTL5000's with a mix of O5 and W9 style heads.

I know that was a little more than what was asked for lol
