Can't get KNG 150 to go into bootloader mode

[Craddock]

Hello,

I'm a novice, and trying to program my KNG P150. I've purchased the programming software, but can't get my radio to go into bootloader mode. If any of you can help me, I'd be grateful.

I've tried the regular method, of holding the PTT button while powering on, and that doesn't work. The radio just boots normally. I've also tried removing the battery, having the power switch on, and holding the PTT button while installing the battery, and that doesn't work, either.

I can get other KNG radios to go into bootloader mode, so I don't thaik that its me doing the procedure the wrong way.

I have an old firmware version, so I have to use the older program, but can't read or write to the radio. I would be grateful if any of you could help me out.

Thank you in advance,

Dave

Is it an S model? Is the display color or mono? Mono would be an S version. The KNG-P150S uses BK Radio KNG Editor, and the KNG-P150 and KNG2-P150 use RES. You don't need to go into boot mode to program, just to flash f/w.
