Disappearing Capacity Plus system...

Hi all,

I'm having a weird situation with a local Capacity Plus system that I am trying to monitor. I loaded all the system info into my radio's codeplug (setting everything to RX only, TX frequencies are all invalid for the system, ARS is turned off). Took the radio out with me and everything worked great. I was bouncing between Capacity Plus channels and regular TRBO channels and could listen in just fine. On my way home I switched over to one of the C+ channels... and it was gone. They all come up as unprogrammed. If I read the radio the info is still there. If I reload the codeplug sometimes it still says unprogrammed, sometimes it comes back ok. Is there a security measure of some sort that is disabling the system in my radio? I'm totally puzzled by this. Anyone have any idea?

Thanks!

What firmware version?

Check your individual modes and make sure that the channel pool is the same for all channels.

Is your channel pool in the SAME ORDER as the system? Are the color codes for each member of the channel pool the same as the original system?

I always make each channel pair in the channel pool a different color code than any of the other channels.

Yes, everything was copied from a codeplug in another radio. I'm not sure what it was, but it's behaving itself now. I haven't had any issues basically since shortly after posting my original message. Thanks for all the suggestions!

TWO RADIOS with the SAME ID, won't communicate to each other, and in some cases won't communicate AT ALL depending on firmware versions if both radios are on and registered.

I should have been clearer on my original post... when I said everything was copied from another radio I meant as far as system settings, groups, frequencies etc. The radio ID was changed.

Makes sense. OK, the only thing could be firmware differences.....
