If that is the "DV" button, yes..... but nothing. Any other ideas..... anyone? The manual isn't all that clear.

According to what I'm reading in the manual, there should be a P25 "button" directly beneath the "DV" button....in my software there isn't, nor is there a provision for setup under the settings menu. I can access a DV setup tab, and I obviously don't have the UT-118 installed. However, there is no P25 tab as in the setup menu as shown in the manual!

I know you have the PCR2500, Vince, so you can't do any testing with the control head. My board is coming on Tuesday. I'll give it a try then.
Hello,scancapecod said:The Icom America website doesn't even acknowledge the existence of any receiver beyond the PCR1000, so obviously no software download there. I found a software download for the 1500/2500 at the Icom Japan site, but the results are the same, DV only and no P25 button or setup tab. This software is one day newer than what's on my CD (4/12/06 CAB files vs 4/11).
Oh well. Like I said I'll be able to test this Tuesday as I have the R2500. If P25 appears on the control head as a mode, we'll know it works. If it doesn't......help?
scancapecod said:Well, I just installed the software on a third computer. I had forgotten that for a brief period of time I ran the software on what I was using for a test computer, so the drivers were already installed and the previous version of the software had already recognized the install as an R2500.
On the third computer, which never had the software installed on it until just now, the software comes up as a PCR1500 and there is no DV button at all. Back to the old drawing board I think; I may have lead us up the garden path. As a matter of fact as I think about it this might not bode well at all. I wish there was a way to run it as a 2500 in demo mode to see if a P25 button showed up. This is now making me wonder if there are further "omissions" in the radio that might cause us further grief.
EricCottrell said:Hello,
So you installed the 1500 software on the third computer with the R2500 connected and the software came up as a 1500?
On the second computer with the previous install you installed the 1500 software with the R2500 connected and the software came up as a 2500?
In both cases was the R2500 correctly identified in the USB dialog?

I keep changeing the "pat" to 0, but when i open the program I don't see the P25, still DV. How do you save the value after you make the change?
