I have a P5130 Scan Model, EDACS, 800 MHz MAHM-S8DXX RU101219V171 R1B. It currently has Flash Version J2R07A06, which seems to work well and is compatible with R16A05. However, it has DSP Version F4R06C05. According to TAC's Version 6 flashcode/DSP matrix, that DSP version is for VHF & UHF clear & unencrypted digital voice radios. This 800 MHz radio should be loaded with DSP G4R06C04. My question is should this make a difference? The radio currently does not have AGEIS, P25 or ProVoice enabled, although the radio will be upgraded to digital voice formats, when funding becomes available. Is it still possible to still get G4R06C04?
I have noticed some quirkiness in the radio, which made me curious as to what could be the cause. One notable bug is that when the radio is scanning conventional channels, the squelch button does not function properly. While scanning, pressing the squelch button only causes the radio to give a beep. White noise can only be heard by turning the scan function off, then pressing the squelch button. I have many different M/A-Com radios and the P5150 is the only one that acts this way. Seems harmless enough, but it get old and annoying fast!
