HT750 cloning

[ffexpCP]

I have a fleet of HT750s. All have identical model numbers. There's a few I cannot clone- I get an error "Cannot program radio. One or more features are not supported by the target radio"

I assume its using older firmware. My Motorola dealer said they couldn't update it and just suggested making a new codeplug. That's a bigger pain than I want to deal with.

Are we missing something or anyone have any tricks or suggestions?

We ran in to the same problems when we had HT1250LS+ that had odd revision numbers (stickered as 5AN from the factory but had 7AN firmwares in them) after some efforts by the radio company to get QCII working correctly on an LTR system.

what we ended up doing was rotating those radios OUT of rotation with the staff, and made them lesser used radios that I could get done at my leisure and didn't have to work out issues when cloning.

Once that was done, it was a matter if finding out if they all could accept the same cp, then cloning them that way..turns out, it worked. Only had to make 2 or 3 codeplugs and then just pushed them out just as fast as the others. Those radios went to the standby / rehab vehicle for manpower, can't recall exactly, but I think I gave them markings to identify them visually...like plastidipped antennae or recased them in bright colors. Too long ago.

I hate making different codeplugs to do the same thing. I always end up missing something and end up having them functioning differently.

Maybe I found an oddity.

The ones I'm having problems with show original codeplug version of 01.11 factory and latest of 01.10 CPS.

The ones I can clone fine are 1.12 for original and latest. Both field tool / CPS.
