• To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:

    Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.

    If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.

    To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.

    The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.

    For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).

    This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

So I have a tri-chemistry charger, "CH-104560-026 Rev A" with Date Code "1608". The bottom white box shows 39973 Rev C, 061AF. When I put my battery(NiCD) in to charge, the charger immediately goes into to "Fault" mode(rapid red light flashes). When I place the same battery into a gang charger, it'll show "Rapid Charge" then "Top-off" then "Ready," as expected.

All DIP switches and jumpers are in the default position, as sent from the mothership.

I placed a known, good working, battery in the charger in question, and it goes straights to "Fault." I removed the cup, and replaced it with a cup from a 5-pin cup for a P5500. When I put the P5500 battery in there, it went to "Fault" again. So no matter what battery I put into this charger, it goes to "Fault."

Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem could be?

Same problem with mine except I know my battery is about dead. It will only last a few hours lol. When it gives the fail blinking red light I pull the radio out and put it back in and it will start charging.
