Hi gurus,

just recently upon reading a radio, i encountered an error message which read:

[BLOCK TYPE ERROR]
an unrecoverable error had occured.

Can anyone help me with this?

Upon turning on the radio, a "BEEP" will be heard. the beep is not the same as the power-on beep which is normal in all radios.

Any inputs will be very much appreciated.

THanks.

Is it a low pitched "boop" or a low volume "beep"?

Are you sure it's an MTX-838? I have an MTX-LS here that has a low-volume beep, but that seems to be normal with this style radio. If you have the LS model, then it takes different rss.

i dont know how to categorized the "beep"... sounded like a low "boop" sound to me...it's like the sound when you get "fail error" shown on the lcd of the mtx838.

but im pretty sure it is a mtx838.

thanks.

Low boop could be a bad codeplug, rf board or controller. Hard to say. I've seen Jedis behave this way when forcing codeplugs in with lab to force a band change as well.

hmmm..that's what i think.....tried reloading the same codeplug to it....still the same.
tried forcing another codeplug into it...still the same problem...maybe there is problem with the logic board?

if it is, is there a way on how to repair defective logic?

thanks so much

just want to ask if anyone knows how to repair defective logic boards?
i have plenty of defective logic boards of mtx838 already...

thanks in advance
