You are missing one or more radio features that your mission plan needs to function as programmed… this could be something like a programmed wideband channel, but the radio not having the wideband feature. This is most likely the missing feature based on your description, but there could easily be others.
Are any of the channels you programmed wide 25KHz channels? Does the radio say ‘WIDEBAND’ in the feature list? Also, what bands do you see listed under feature info? With a 200P, you should see ‘VHF-HIGH’, ‘UHF’, and ‘7-800’ if all bands are enabled. Obviously, even if you have all bands, you can’t program anything 900 for instance. RPM will let you, but it will throw the error you are seeing when loaded
No, the radio cannot make phone calls. Unless you are on a BeON system, the only thing you can do with LTE is make a Wi-Fi hotspot… @KevinC The sim slot is at the top of the battery compartment behind a cover, which is held in place by two T6 screws.
I have a Cradlepoint (can’t remember the model) in one vehicle and an InHand IR305 in another. Both work well, and accept dual SIM cards, have multiple antenna ports, GPS, and some Ethernet ports for wired connections as well. The 5G stuff is still quite expensive compared to the 4G used market to which I am relegated! But at the same time, there’s no 5G anywhere near me so I’m not missing anything by going with older hardware.
The cellular router is the most universal device around… they have multiple devices integrated into a single rugged enclosure. You get WI-FI, a multi sim hotspot, an Ethernet switch, some have GPS, a serial port, or like mine, some general purpose inputs and outputs that could be set up to send me a message if my car alarm is going off or if the temperature exceeds a preset level.
