Conversion questions

[gcopter1]

Prior to receiving a new G4, I downloaded PPS (v0.6.16.9) and set out to add the required info.

Not knowing any better, I created a profile with the tow truck G4 variant model number.

When I received my new G4, the model number is obviously different. No problem, I thought, I will convert the tow truck model to the new model.

However, no matter what I try, I end up with a "Programming failed" error message.

What am I overlooking?

I've already exported the profile to my desktop anticipating a reply to my problem.

Is there anyway for me to redo this without loosing any of my data?

BTW, pager shows PC Connected and the device shows up in PPS as well.

I've been able to read the new device as well so, no connection problems there.

TIA

It's kinda hard to say what you're overlooking since you haven't described what you attempted to do

I haven't tried the TT model, but you should be able to go to tab C2 ("Copy from the Existing Profile"), then click on "Convert New Model" at the bottom, and select the correct model number.

What I am attempting is to convert all the worked I saved to a new model.
Remember, I created a profile previous to receiving the new G4, using the incorrect model of G4, so now, whenever I attempt to program, I get the failure message saying Cannot program the TT profile into the pager.

Notice the model number I selected to create the profile prior to receiving the new pager and the new pager model number below.

Yeah, but you didn't say how you attempted to do it, so it's difficult to say what you might have overlooked. Anyway, try the above.......

Alright, let's see, I launched PPS, connected the new pager, clicked on E program from existing profile, clicked on next and a screen pops up as seen above.

I clicked on Program and get this...

OK, so what you overlooked is the need to convert the profile for your model number. See my original response. Hope it works on a TT profile - never tried that.

And I did try what you said above.
And end up with this

Apparently, PPS won't convert a TT profile to my new G4.

Maybe it doesn't work for a TT profile then

You might try gradually deleting the knob positions and see if it starts working at some point. You may have to delete all of them, but at least (maybe) you can keep your frequencies and groups. I've never worked with the TT setup, so not sure what's different about it.
