APX6000 & APX900

[willwilliams]

Hello everyone. I have a APX6000xe and a APX900 that wont read all of a sudden. we can hear them connect and they show up in the device manager but will not read at all. Both radios are legit and have not been altered since they were purchased. any ideas what might be causing this? We can read & write others no problem just these two for some reason are acting up.

are you using an OEM programming cable?

Probably have a bad cable. Try using a different usb port or check if the port on cps is right also check if your codeplug version is higher than your cps version if so get a higher cps.

So the cable is good. If we turn off WIFI and disconnect the Ethernet cable from the computer then it reads just fine.

That makes no sense, but if it works, it works...

 

[willwilliams]

It’s only on these Apx6000xe an which are on ver 36 something as that’s a high as we can go. The 900 we figured out and the radio was actually buggered.

Has your computer and these radios in question ever commcated before?

 

[willwilliams]

Yes, almost a couple years ago we reprogrammed them and placed them in a different truck.

Sounds like the IPv4 interface metric was tinkered with and is no longer set to automatic.

Oh? How dose one fix that

Oh? How dose one fix that

The first step is to determine if the interface metric is the issue. Connect your programming cable and turn on the radio.
Now open command a prompt and submit "route print -4" without the quotes. Verify the Motorola APX Series Radio appears
in the interface list

Now locate the APX Serial Link 1 Addresses in the IPv4 Route Table while making note of the PC's own network
address (192.168.0.100 in my case) that will have the least cost route.

that did it, the ip address was in conflict.
