XTS2500 w/ FPP - any firmware upgrade issues?

I recall there being some situation that would kill FPP on Astro25 radios... But can't recall or find the post that described what it was.

Can an XTS 2500 (8MEG) with FPP be upgraded to the latest rev firmware without disturbing the FPP? Flashcode is 160008-000100-8.

Thanks.

You will be just fine, it was the units that had only Q52 that had an issue. That issue was CPS 10 and above would not allow the FPP to work without both Q52, and Q53.

That is a Q52 only radio, newer FW will make the FPP go by-by.

Most excellent. Just picked up a 2500 with IMPRES batt, antenna, IMPRES charger, properly tagged with FPP Q52/Q53 for $400. Did I do good?

The flashcode posted contains both Q52 & Q53.. FPP wont go anywhere with new firmware..

Hmmmm, my decoder is telling me different, maybe it's time for an upgrade.

Q52

Are the options showing, what decoder are you using?
