Interesting & Odd Radio Display Messages

Post by d119 »

Curious if anyone's come across any interesting display messages or things out of the ordinary on their radio's display while performing flash functions, upgrades, etc. I'm not talking about broken displays or the typical Kanji characters seen in the serial number on CBI radios, but more random, strange, "days gone by" stuff.

I was doing some firmware upgrades on some EXTREMELY old ASTRO Saber portables today (512k units!), and one of them brought this up on the display while in bootloader mode during the firmware upgrade. I was upgrading from AP_R03.xx.xx firmware to AP_R04.10.00 so the radio would support 2.5kHz splinter frequency entry. Still a VSELP radio, just works properly in a 2.5kHz environment now.

I've seen a few MTS2000's display "Jedi R06.xx" during an iButton upgrade. The word "Jedi" was in upper and lower case, followed by the firmware version in the radio.
