HT1000 Power up Tone and LED Question

firebuff17 · Post by **firebuff17** » Sun Jan 06, 2002 8:26 am

Hi,

When I power up my UHF HT1000, the LED will turn Green, and give a LOW short tone, and then the LED will flash red. What does this mean?

Usually When I powered it up, it was the LED would turn green and a HIGH tone would chirp.

Thank you in advance,

That would be the Self-Test, mine turns green, with a short tone. Red? did your make any changes in the RSS?

Was the radio written to in lab? If so, re-read the radio with regular RSS, write back to it without changing anything and the problem should go away.

If the radio was not written to in lab, then other things that can present the same was are having the Op-Mate board selected when none is present or a hardware failure (check all flex)

It's not the option-mate setting. If the radio is set up to accept the board and none is present the radio will have no audio.
(Audio is re-routed to the option connector
when AVS is enabled- board must be in place for audio return).
Sounds like codeplug or micropressor problem,
did this start right after programming or on it's own ?

I was changing some frequeccies befor this happened. I do not get any audio either. I may have accidentilly changed the option mate. I will have to check that out. I did not open the radio so I dont think that the flex connectors could be the problem.

Thank you for the input. Keep ot coming if it could be anything else. I will let yo know how it goes.

The short low tone and red flashing LED indicates a corrupt code plug.
Put your backed-up code plug into the radio, you did back up the code plug!!!!!??????

WILL,

I did not backup the codeplug.

HOW DO I DO THAT?

Thank you very much

Will is correct, and that is what I communicated to you in the private message. Your use of a fast computer with Win98 in a dos window corrupted your codeplug in HT1000. Now you need a backup (non-corrupted) copy of the codeplug to put back into the radio. If you don't have one, post your model # and maybe we can help you with it.

Okay,

I have saved the one of the codeplugs that i read from the radio when i got it. I will just have to find a 486 computer so I dont screw it up again,

THANK YOU ALL AGAIN.
