NX-5300 No Playback

[boonebroadcaster]

Good morning here is the issue I am running into and what steps I have taken to attempt to resolve it. The issue I am facing is that the TX/RX are not recording to memory card.

• Purchase/Enable SD Card Feature
• Inserted/Formated (from radio) 32 gb memory card
• Enabled Playback Menu w/ Playback, Eject memory card and format memory card options
• Assigned A button to playback (says empty when I press it)
• Within KPG-D1N I've set to record all RX/TX under the Options 2 menu
• Set recording length internal 30 seconds (default) and SD Card 60 seconds

Additionally I have created a test codeplug, put one frequency in it and wrote it to the radio. The recording works! So it has something clearly to do with my built out codeplug... but for the life of me I cannot figure out what I'm missing. Within my test code plug I followed the same steps listed above to get it to work.

Did you format the card after it was inserted into the radio?

Yes

I can assure you that it is not anything that you are doing wrong as you are not the only person experiencing that issue. I too experience the same behavior with the record feature. I started noticing recording issues about roughly one year ago. I also experience the no recording issue AFTER converting a code plug from a "mobile" model to a "portable" model and writing to the portable. The radio does see the SD Card as indicated by the SD Card icon, show good SD Card (not the red X icon) and formatting the SD Card makes no difference, recording just does not start or happen. I strongly believe the cause of the problem is solely/directly related to "something" going on within the KPG-D1 program, I say that because I will have a code plug that works perfectly fine starting out fresh but after building up the code plug with more content and reach a certain amount that is when things start acting up. Also have a mobile that the recording feature works perfectly fine on but after I change/convert the radio type in the code plug from mobile to portable and the conversion is complete and then write the code plug to the portable, the recording feature does not work on the portable!

I am glad I'm not the only one with issues, though that doesn't solve our problems . My codeplug that I am having issues with came out of a full keyboard 5300 (maybe K6, can't remember the different models) and put into my standard model 5300 (ABC keys only). Though I would think that shouldn't be the issue.

Full vs Basic keypad is not the cause of the record feature to stop working...
