I bought an XTS2500 (900 MHz; Model 3) and when it powers up, I see SALVAGED on the display. It does NOT show SELF TEST while powering on. If I change to any other channel, the radio will then display UNPROGRAMMED. When SALVAGED displays, I get an intermittent "BOOP" tone from the radio. When UNPROGRAMMED displays, I get the usual steady "BOOP" tone for an uprogrammed channel. The only other thing that displays once the radio first powers up is the clock in the upper left corner, and ZONE in the lower left, above the left Menu (one dot) button... If I press ZONE, it goes away from the display, but the radio still displays SALVAGED. I have to change channel in order to get away from the SALVAGED display.
I cannot read from or write to the radio. When I try to read, I get the error message that the radio has failed to acknowledge. I am using Astro25 Portable CPS R20.02.00.
Any thoughts on how to get this thing to read/write?
Thanks in advance.
