GM300 M44GMC29C4 Codeplug Archive Needed

Post by Motrar20 »

Hello,
I am trying to restore a radio with a bad codeplug - I need a codeplug archive file from a M44GMC29C4 or M44GMC09C4.

Please PM me if you can assist.

Thanks!
Bob

Is this your situation:

The radio gives a long beep at power-up but otherwise seems to be working. You can read the codeplug, but at the very end it comes up and says "corrupt or bad codeplug", and you can't do anything else with it?

Go into the Service menu (F2), then alignment, then choose the warp adjustment. Move the warp up or down by one number, then press F8 to save it to the radio. Exit RSS, cycle power to the radio. This will often clear the long beep. You will then be able to read the codeplug and save it - everything will be just fine again. Don't forget to go back and put the warp setting back to what it was.

The radio does not give a long beep at power up - but when I try to read the codeplug with GM300 RSS, it looks like it loads but then complains about Radio Codeplug Error 53.

This happened to me once before, and I had to find a working radio and copy the first 128 bytes of the codeplug on to paper (using lab RSS), then enter them manually into the broken radio. This fixed the problem.

I can read the codeplug without error if I change the model number byte from 95 (For a C4 split) to 94 (for a C3 split), and of course change the checksum accordingly. But this is a C4 radio and I'd like it to report the
correct model number.

I tried your WARP fix though, and it didn't work for me. But thank you for giving me something to try.
