Mt2000 Fail 01/82

Post by unlisted »

So, I think I bricked my first radio.

Long story short, I was programming up a mt2000 (vhf, top display) with 20 channels. I've programmed radios before, without issue, many times. The radio read fine, and I was plugging away and ready to write to the radio. Halfway through the write the computer just froze, and a checksum error (I think) came up on the screen.

So, I reopened the saved file codeplug (well, tried to) and also received a corrupted codeplug error. This happened on both the old and the updated codeplug.

Anyone know how I can recover this? (or at least get the radio working again...?)

Thanks all. I'm okay with conventional programming, but when something like this comes up, I'm way out of my league.

1.)You can try to fix the checksum error with a slow PC and Rooster.
You don´t need to retune it.

2.)If the first don´t work,extract a native codeplug from a good radio (with MTSXlab or a Jedi native codeplug programmer)and program it into your dead radio.
Retune the radio after it!
