XPR6550 Issue

Morning All,

I have 2 issues I am dealing with with a VHF 6550.

Firmware R01.12.11
CP Version 13.01.03
CPS 11

1st (Maybe a CPS Issue) I am unable to change the backlight time. I get a error when clicking on the time out timer pull down.

2nd. The display on this radio is much dimmer then both my 6580 and UHF 6550. The VHF 6550 is factory fresh as of last month.

Any ideas? Thanks for looking

Well, did you call customer service?

What did they say? I get the same error periodically and just move on, so far hasn't affected anything, just curious.

Trbo Tech Support advises that the feature does not apply to the 6000 series radios and will be removed in the next CPS update. It is only available on the 7000 series radios.

Of course. A useful feature that would be handy. Why not just actually fix the feature or beta test software before releasing it....... sigh....

I know. We are having an issue with a 7550. When we have both a analog and digital channel in the scanlist the radio will power cycle randomly. Per Trbo support, they know about it and it will be fixed in the next Firmware update.

To fix that set the audio ambiance to off, not loud. GARY
