TK-380 Won't Program?

[DeoVindice]

I purchased a pair of TK-380s on eBay to experiment with FleetSync caller ID and status message features ($18 each minus battery and antenna, I couldn't really say no). I put together a codeplug in KPG-49D and loaded it onto one radio no problem. When I attempt to load the codeplug onto the other radio, its screen reads PROGRAM, and the radio beeps and reinitializes once the codeplug shows as fully loaded. Problem is that the radio shows its old programming when it reinitializes.

These radios both came with data passwords when purchased - I'd expect that to be the problem if the other radio hadn't programmed just fine. What could be causing this issue, and how can it be resolved?

Since I haven't received an answer, I contacted the seller. He's mailed out a replacement radio, hopefully it will work. I may contact my local Kenwood dealer for help if I have further issues.

The replacement radio arrived, and promptly quit powering on immediately after I fired up my computer and programming software. I think I'll be stopping by my Kenwood dealer to see if they can help out.

Oh, and the radio that wouldn't accept programming has started doing this when I turn the channel selector knob...wondering if something isn't wrong with the firmware
