Mototrbo Connect Plus

[APXandRailroadRadios]

Hello! Happy New Year!

I have been trying to program Connect Plus on a 7550. I downloaded the Connect Plus CPS and have tried many ways to write the radio, but none are working. I open a sample codeplug and match to the radio's information. But when I try to write it, an error pops up saying "Radio must be on Connect Plus channel." I don't see anything in regular CPS about Connect Plus so how is the radio supposed to be on a Connect Plus channel?

Thank you for any help.

You have to make a 16 channel zone of channels with the Option Board checkbox checked. When you go to that zone in the radio, it passes through to the option board with the connect plus programming.

As a side note, the ESN of the radio has to be in the controller associated with the radio ID in order for it to login to the network. If the system manager does not have the correct ESN/ID information, the radio will not work. There is no way to RX only connect plus nor create a working clone of another radio with an XPR.

EDIT: You did not say you did this, but the option board also must be flashed with Connect Plus firmware. If the radio has never been on a Connect Plus network, its highly probable that the board is blank.
