XTS 2500 codeplug error

[jdmwph5]

I just bought an XTS 2500 Model III (UHF) Model H46SDH9PW7AN.
This radio has the Q52/Q53 Front Panel Programming enhancement.
Firmware = R09.00.03

After reading the codeplug in CPS R.16.00.00 it loads with 240 Conventional Personalities, none of which can be deleted (option grayed out). I'm also unable to modify zone channel assignments. Any idea why?

Also - I cannot save the codeplug because there is an error in a few Conventional Personalities ("Field Rx Voice/Signal Type can not be fit as per the layout"). Again, settings can be changed, but the changes don't stick.

Does anyone have a codeplug I can use to overwrite the existing one?

Will I lose FPP by upgrading this to R16?

Thanks for your input.See below for error.

Try using R9 CPS. You generally don't want to go above that with radios configured such as yours. (else it goofs up FPP)

if memory serves me correct. I read somewhere that those cant be deleted because they are there for the FPP option.

That's working for two out of the three - it appears my UHF radio has got r.14 on it... any advice? all i have is r.09 and r.16 CPS

If it been read with 14 you are screwed. Cant go back verisons with codeplug.

Also for the field thats red just go into table view and select the value and tell it to copy it downward.

I'm fairly sure that as long as it hasn't been written to with 14 it should be OK to go back and read with 9...

 

[n3obl]

I assumed by his post that he had used r14 to read / write it

Yeah, it's kind of unclear. Just trying to give the OP some hope, which is kind of hard to come by when dealing with /\/\

actually you can go back, BUT you will need a copy of the codeplug from v9.00.00. and then you need to run v9.00.00 CPS

Hold on there, if he has Q52 AND Q53, he should not lose FPP for using R16 which is the current version of Astro 25 CPS.

He may have a 4MEG platform A radio which are limited to HOST 9, he may want to post the specific Flashcode of his radio. I've had no problems reading/writing with V16 CPS to two platform A XTS2500's which both have HOST 9 and now DSP 16 F/W and both have Q52/Q53 and did not lose FPP in the process.
