XTL/XTS5000 XTL5k Control Head Sync Questions

[RadRom]

Hi,

I want to make sure I have the correct control head sync file.

I have an XTL5K UHF-R1 with FW R20.50.10. Does this sync file Astro_25_CH_BR.cvn dated Jul 2016 match the injected FW 20.50.09/10?

XTL boots up. Error FL 01-90 then reboots into Maint. Mode. Neither the OEM USB-GCAI or the OEM USB to rear accessory cable will read/write the faulty radio.

So I need to use OEM RS232 to rear programming cable? (I have all 4 OEM programming cables for XTL's/PM1500)

Power connection, ground, TIB, 03 HHCH, cables, power to board/brick, etc all check out OK. From memory it needs a control head change in CPS and then a control head sync....

I don't wanna brick this thing ;-)

THANKYOU in advance.

To answer my own Q and for others... YES this Astro_25_CH_BR.cvn file is for both FW versions.

I found my long lost documents in archive.

Check your flex cable from the TIB to the brick. Make sure it’s seated properly.

I've played musical chairs with TIBs, local control head, flex cables, etc. Always comes up FL 01-90 then reboot in to M-Mode.

Does same even with local M5 CH attached.

I haven't attempted CH sync yet.

The M5 control head only works on an XTL2500. Unless you modified it. That may be your problem.

My bad, I should've explained: I was looking for "mismatch", but that didn't happen. Still came up FL 01-90 then reboot in to M-Mode. I will modify M5 and try in any event.

To boot, XTL won't recognise either of my OEM USB cables. Injecting CH sync file is challenging. I have RS232 OEM cables, AFAIK, only early versions of ASTRO25 CPS or D use RS232 cables.

THANKYOU for your help though!!

When I fix it, and I will.. I'll post back.
