NX-5800 - "Zombie" NXDN reappears under "Product Information"

[intermod]

I developed an NX-5800 codeplug that I set for P25 and DMR (single band, single KCH-20R head). Both modes work fine in the radio. See Pic 1

However, "Product Information" >>> "Read Configuration" indicates that P25 and NXDN are activated. See Pic 2

Do I care? I am concerned that having to fix this at some point may result in all of my programming data going away.....

One clue here is that the radio came with P25, and I added DMR later in time (but well before I made the codeplug).

Pic 3 are the options in the radio.

Copy your code plug and save it?

With this particular situation, changing mode selection, you will have to open two instances of the KPG program and then "play the copy and paste game" for as much of the content that can be, and the remaining that can't you will have to manually retype it all over again...

Yea - I have many of copies of it.

How does one disable NXDN and enable DMR so the radio remembers this? I assumed that I just "Read Config", make the changes on that Porduct Information screen, then write it back to radio (which is what I essentially did).

Agree - that was the fallback plan. Just wanted to get ahead of this potental issue.

If DMR is in the radio, you just write the new code plug. You made the change by checking P25 and DMR in the code plug you built. Hit write and go.

Well all 3 can not be active at the same time.
if you want p25 and dmr then nxdn has to be disabled..in read config upper right hand corner

Picture 1 is what yours will look like.

It is my understanding that you turn all 3 on but only program 2 at the same time.

No. You can only turn on 2 at a time. You can have all three licenses, but you can't have all three at once turned on.

Then I misunderstood the Factory Rep before we bought over 75 5000's. I only have the need for Analog NXDN and DMR.
I will get on our Dealer Site and ask Support.

 

[wd8chl]

Then turn on DMR and NXDN and turn off P25. Then you're good to go.

 

[buddrousa]

Never bought the P25 Options no need for them. We were told you can have all three in the Radio but only use 2 Digital at 1 time so the City bought over 120 mixed 5200 5300 5700 5800 Radios.

 

[wd8chl]

Yes, that's correct. It comes with NXDN, and you can put licenses for both P25 and DMR in the same radio, but you can only have two turned on in a personality at a time. You have to create two different personalities and reprogram to change.
So again, if you don't need P25, don't get the license. Then just turn on what the other two in the personality.

As an owner of a NX5200 Series 1 I was on the waiting list to get my Personal NX5200 and was the one that setup talks with the City Vendor and Kenwood for the Sales Meeting. So I am fully aware and get Direct Factory Tech Support.
