G5 "Not Programmed" after "Programming Successful"

[DaveNF2G]

I have made several attempts to configure and program a G5 without success. I have been using the cable supplied with the G5. My most recent attempt involved the simplest steps.

Created profile, imported one P25 system from RadioReference to the profile, left all settings at defaults, programmed.

The software said that the programming succeeded.

The G5 says that it is not programmed.

What is the problem?

Just a point for clarification... Does the G5 say "Not Programmed" or "Unprogrammed" (usually in red)? If it's reading Unprogrammed, I'd guess that the knob position is, in fact, unprogrammed, and that the programming that was successful is on another knob position.

Fingers crossed that it's that simple for you--good luck!

You didn't say if added some talkgroups to a knob position.

OK, that was it. It was saying Unprogrammed, and I had the selector on the last position instead of the first.

Many, many thanks!

But was the unprogrammed G5 programmed or was it a misuse of knob positions.

It was definitely the latter. LOL.
