M7100 A couple of questions

[Ishmole]

I have a M7100 that covers P25 Phase 1. Whenever I program a P25 repeater, the radio takes the programming, and when I transmit on that P25 channel, I get DIGV ERR on the screen.
What did I miss when I programmed the radio?

Also, how do I access the feature string readout? I used to know how to do this, but my memory is shot!
Thanks,
Mike

Does your radio have P25? It may only have Provoice.

It may also have the wrong Code/DSP loaded.

The feature list has #7- EDACS/P25 PROSCAN and #8- EDACS/P25 EMERGENCY,
along with 1,3,4,9,10 @23.
My guess id that it has P25.
I am still getting the DIGV ERR.
Thanks!!

P25 Conventional is 33.

You don’t have P25 and that’s why it is not working.

Thanks! I guess I got it wrong. What is Provoice?

Provoice is 29. You just have a bare bones analog radio.

Pretty sure ProVoice and Aegis is 12 on the M7100 and P7100.

ProVoice is a a separate feature and is option 29.

Then I have some strange radios with 4 P7100ips UHF with 1,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,12,23,33,39 and 4 800 with 1,4,7,8,9,10,23. M7100s with also with ProVoice with no option 29 in them. They are programmed for ProVoice and transmit it with no errors. And I know it's ProVoice because if I change one to Aegis or P25(on the UHFs) it won't decode. The 800 are also strange in that they don't have 12 or 29, but do both.

 

[TDR-94]

Were these ebay radios? Are they engineering prototypes? What DSP and Flash versions are loaded into these radios? Do the 800Mhz P7100 radios operate in P25C or P25T mode, even though they don't have option 33 or 39?

They were eBay radios. The UHFs were old Michigan State University PD radios. So definitely not prototype or engineering radios. The 800s I bought hoping they had 33,39 so I could ESN swap the chips. They didn’t.

After that I found some old M7100 Denver PD I believe that I took a chance on and they did have 33,39. So I swapped the chips from them and pulled the DSP and Flash out of them as they were newer. And flashed that to all my radios.
