Corrupted Codeplug

I have a spectra radio with a corrupted codeplug. I need a working one to repair the radio and was wondering if anyone could supply me with one or tell me where I could get one. I've tried my local Motorola repair shops with no luck, and have tried codeplugsupersite with no luck. The radio model number is: T45ZXA5JC9AK and the serial number is:581ASG0875. I have Spectra RSS R06.00.05 and Spectra Lab R06.00.05 both being dos versions. Any help will be greatly appreciated. :cry:

I don't know. I get a Error 01/02 and a fail 002 message. Acording to the batlabs website, I need to upload a good codeplug or replace the memory board. I'd like to try to upload a good codeplug first. (If I can get one) Oterwise, the radio probably isn't worth fixing... :cry:

Corrubted Codeplug

I have been given a codeplug by Einstein (thanks a bunch), but my Spectra RSS or Spectra Lab RSS (both R06.00.05) will not see it. I also have about 25 or 30 other codeplugs in the same directory but can't see them either. The only codeplug I can see is of a backup of another of my radios (a VHF A4 that I converted to a A9).

Has anyone else ever run into this problem? Any Ideas?

A valid code plug is accually two files... one the codeplug info file with the serial number being the file name. AND very important, the DBF file that tells the RSS what codeplugs and serial numbers are available.

Without the DBF file the RSS can not even see any code plugs.

This also applies to other radio models not just Spectra, as some RSS needs the DBF file to work.

Actually one of the function keys in the get section allows you to enter the serial # of a file that is in the directory but not in the DBF file. It adds it to the DBF file and then you can load it.

I tried this with no luck. :roll:
