apx7000 fpp question

[SSE5000ASTRO]

Hi,all

I got a apx7000 fpp from a guy , Q52+Q53 option ,and add fpp to the menu ,but when I open the radio ,can't find fpp selection,radio read and write normally, why?

[kotaguchi]

I have heard that if you were to have upgraded the firmware above R04.XX,to the R05.xx,you loose FPP function if you have both Q52 and Q53 in your flash code.Those that only has Q52 without Q53 is ok is what I have heard.

What is your firmware?HOST&DSP?

HOST and DSP is R02.00

you mean only need Q52 and make fpp work?

Sounds like Q52 and Q53 are present. FPP will not work with Q52 present.

This is correct, if you upgrade beyond R04.XX and have both Q52 AND Q53 present with trunking features, your FPP will leave the radio, if you only have Q53 present no matter what is in the features FPP is still operable and present in the radio menu. For example: a real flash from my personal APX radio: Firmware R05.05.00 DSP R05.05.00 This is similar to XTS series with going past R09.XX with trunking and FPP.

Platform: APX7000

That's odd..... mine works fine with 5.00.XX +

With Q52 and Q53 and trunking in the radio?

[loband]

For non federal users... the APX needs both Q52 (federal FPP) and Q53 (FCC FPP) and a side connector key dongle. FPP will not be displayed in the menu until the dongle is attached. If the radio is Q52 only then no dongle is needed. Mine was flashed for both Q52 & Q53 by mistake at the factory, I then had Q53 removed from the flash. But then again I work for a federal agency..... In short Q52 makes the radio FPP, Q53 then makes the FPP needing a dongle and legal for everyone else. A radio with just Q53 will not FPP.

The above facts are "nutty but true" and mean that the Q52/53 setup for a APX7K is different from an XTS5K. I went through the same "clarification" recently when one of my local gurus explained it to me.

I have a APX7000 UHF2/VHF with only Q53 in the flash only, and my radio is dongle free FPP imput editing, with the flash from my preivious posts in this thread.

Radio Crazy, was your APX purchased new from Moto or the "used" market?
