Good evening all. Working on some radios, receiving the attached error. Any ideas? KPG-D1N is running 5.10 and the NX-5300k2 is running FPU K 5.10. There is a password on the code plug, which I have. I read a similar forum on an NX5700 issue, but that was regarding a railroad radio and wasn't much help. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.
NX-5300 K2 Codeplug read error
- Thread starter boonebroadcaster
- Start date
Special D1 was used maybe.??
D1N latest is 5.20. Upgrade and try again? I get that error when I let my software get too old and smelly.
No change by downgrading FPU to 5.01, KPG-D1N is still on 5.1
Confirming there is only one firmware for all of the nx portables (5200,5300,5400). Meaning there isn't a specific firmware file for the 5300 and a different for 5200 or 5400.
The only different firmware is between the NX-5300 and the NX-5300S
I'd like to be able to pull the code plug out of it, as I don't have the original. Trying to avoid writing a blank code plug.
I was thinking that, make a codeplug from scratch with everything turned off, write it then read it back to see if that works. But you need the radios' information. I hear you. Is there a sister radio that you can read from and save an archive?
I have sourced the latest software. Going to give that a try. Will report back.
Happy to report 5.2 KPG-D1N solved the issue. The way I understood the error message was that the radio firmware needed to be updated. Apparently that can also mean the software. As always greatly appreciate all the support!
