Greeting and I hope someone on here can help with my issue. I purchased a F5061 off Ebay, which could be an issue to use in my railroad motorcar and I am having trouble getting the thing to work correctly. I can get the cloning software to read and to write to the radio at first I kept getting a message about updating the firmware due to "Roaming mode= Time Base" I went in and changed digital settings and it took the programming but now I keep getting a flashing display. I did the hold 0 and 3 and my got the number of 4.9 and sum SD07. I am running CS3150/5060 software that is the latest version. So what is my options for getting this thing to work correctly does it need a firmware update or am I missing something. I have a f5021 in my other motorcar and I had no trouble getting it to take programming which is why I got a second Icom for the ease of programming.
I should add the railroad motorcar is for a hobby and not for professional use so I don't think I need the RR programing firmware. I belong to NARCOA and they set up railroads that we are able to take our cars out and run them. Part of the required equipment is a narrowband vhf radio programmed for their personal channels and also with the 96 railroad channels in case of an emergency.
Thanks
Ben
