ASTRO Spectra W3-Inhibited While Programming

Post by KURT12520 »

I was programming my ASTRO Spectra W3 VHF 110w when I got Error Code on the HHCH 01/82. I re-powered it and I got a message "This Radio Has Been Inhibited by Dispatch...Dispatch must uninhibit or you must use a depot tool".
I read the original codeplug first and saved it. I tried to program the original codeplug and got the same message subsequently. I would appreciate any suggestions you may have.
The flashcode is 580001-001000-8. Firmware 8.03, DSP I06.01.00.

Chances are you hosed your codeplug.

The 01/82 is a codeplug fault if I remember correctly.

Probably going to need lab to force a dos codeplug or s-record into it and then get your good saved plug in there. I would record the tuning values before going any further. Hopefully those are not messed up either.

Thank you Jason...I am so disappointed to say the least! Yes 01/82 is a codeplug fault and the recommendation is to reprogram codeplug. I tried that and got the same inhibited message. Thanks again for your input!
