HT1550 CPS password lock - unable to read or overwrite
Posted: Sun Apr 22, 2012 6:59 am
I am trying to program a used HT1550 that I recently purchased. When I try to read the radio in the CPS (R06.04.00), a password prompt appears asking for a password which I do not have and the previous owner is still trying to obtain it.
I tried to overwrite the current code plug with my non-enabled (same model) code plug from a previous HT1550 and it still prompts for a password when trying to write. I know with the HT1250 models you can overwrite the password enabled code plug with a non-password enabled code plug simply by overwriting it but it does not appear to be working with the HT1550.
These radios use the same software so I thought the overwrite feature should work on all. Any ideas......?
Current CPS R06.04.00. I also have access to CPS R06.12.02 which is doing the same thing.....
