Motorola BPR40 Firmware Update?

[b18c_ej8]

Does anything exist to update a BPR40 to a firmware version higher than R02.02.UV2? Using CPS v R02.05.

I have a customer using these marvels, and they won't take the Tx frequency i need to put in, giving me an error "Frequency Is Not Valid". I thought perhaps a firmware upgrade came out to allow the 159.9525 frequency I need to put in there? Right now, it won't allow anything other than 159.950, although it's showing 159.95000 which in my semi-logical mind would mean that it should take the additional digits.

Not too familiar with programming that radio, but it looks like the radio is set for wideband and you're trying to program a narrowband channel into it.

Definitely set for Narrowband - that was the first thing I checked

I don’t think they do 7.5 kHz channel spacing—only 15 kHz. Have to be careful for licensing

Ahhh, I think you're right. I seem to remember that now. Bummer. 😓
