Hi,
Anyone have a P25 uhf code plug for conventional P25? Programmed Mortorola and Kenwood and Midland in the past. Can't figure this one out. Help files are of little use.
Thanks,
Bill

What exactly do you need help with? I’ve spent hours on that software. Are you using CE-76, or CE-106 TALON?

 

[Bill1957]

I'm using CE-76 and I am trying to program a conventional P-25 for amateur radio.

Click on the option box you’re trying to work on, click the space bar. Type in your RX/TX, then your NAC. Ensure you have MODE on RX/TX set to “D” and also set the ID Display box in the upper left corner to HEX.

have u ever seen a issue programming the PF keys?? I have a vx-p824 with the ce-76 software. When I program the "A" key it works on the "D"button. The "B C D" button will not program. Been playing with this issue for 2 weeks. no matter what I put in them nothing works. If you physically press the B C or D button the backlight illuminates and that's it.

Are you utilizing an option board?

 

[lkas]

no, this radio does not even allow for a option board. In the location a option board would be installed there is a board installed for p25 capabilities from vertex already.

Actually, you can use an option board, but you would lose the P25 capability. The only option board I’ve tested that does not work within the “P” series is the VME/VMDE series. Have you tried forcing a new codeplug in? Sometimes the data becomes corrupted, and the radio starts doing odd things.

I need the option board that came with the radio as P25 capability is why I purchased this radio. I too purchased a VMDE-200 to only find out it does not work as well. I have tried a new codeplug with negative results. I opened a new code plug, programmed in 2 freq and functions on key A + b to do channel up and down. I had no luck.

Have you opened it up and checked the flex cables?

 

[lkas]

no i have never opened up one of these radios.....if it is not too tricky i dont mind doing it......

 

[lkas]

so I opened up the radio. Pretty simple process. The flex cables (2) were both solid. I disconnected them and reconnected them just to be sure. Still no difference. I did get a updated firmware from Motorola but it requires the FIF-12 cable which goes for about $150 online. I am not dropping that kind of cash on a cable especially when I don't even know that will fix the problem.

 

[Ant9270]

You can send your codeplug to me if you want, and I’ll take a look.
