screen only show ----------- then beeps

[lookforthe1]

hi i have a vx800 uhf

i am trying to program it and the computer reads and writes it w no problem

when i try to use the radio it shows as if it was completely blank... the screen only show ----------- then beeps... if I take the little chip board out it shows whats programed but doesn't do anything else in regards to tx rx. when reading it through the program it shows that i already wrote to the radio what was needed to be put on to it.

i dont know what the problem could be... i also loaded afresh clean file and then reloaded the one i created and it still give me the same issue...

im pretty sure its not the cps and is the radio but not sure how to fix it


does anyone have any ideas what it could be????? I would love to put this radio back into service

thanks!!!!!!

It sounds like you have an option board installed... Did you read the radio initially or just blast the radio with the default file?
Is the board you're talking about an option board (similar to the pic) or dummy board (white connector and no chips)?
I'll assume you're using the Windows version of software - CE31 V1.05? See if this board looks like any here: Welcome to Yaesu.com under Accessories? If it does, read the radio, go to Common then Misc and make sure that's listed under option. Also change Power up Condition to Group 1.
I'm also thinking you have a second group and you're on a channel that's not programmed (the ------ and beeps would do that). Go to Channel and see if there are numbers besides in group 1, or assign a button as group up Common key function.

Thanks for the reply... Its a full code plug 1o groups... If theres is ni chip where the dummy one or o option board... It'll show what's one there but nothing happens... Its weird

sorry for the previous reply wrote it as i was waking up lol


so the radio has a complete codeplug 10 grps 16ch ea buttons assigned etc...
the radio shows the ----- regardless of the codeplug default or custom
when the chip(dummy) is in itll show ------ then beep when i take it out it shows whats programed but nothing else... irdk what it could be i have an option board(encyption) which im going to try and hopefully thatll work... the other thing i was thinking is to reflashthe firmware but i dont have the fif10/12 cable or firmware for that...
