codeplug too old/codeplug too new

Post by harrisjt2000 »

Is there any way to get around codeplug too old or codeplug too new errors?

What radios do you own?: Progreso soup can with CRT

codeplug too new (urk!) message...

Some of the older programmable radios, I understand, can handle
software from "either direction" but later models have the "too new"
feature which is enforced. I recently encountered it when setting up
an Astro. If you get the message then you're stuck, unfortunately.

Since you're trying to upgrade it, I'll assume you're using some form of LAB RSS. If so, then simply read the desired codeplug...it doesn't matter if it gives the "codeplug too old/new" error...that just means it couldn't "unpack" the codeplug to show the contents in the various screens, the codeplug did actually load into the program's "memory". Next go into the "read/write with no pack/unpack" screen and hit "F8-write to radio". The codeplug will be forced into the radio.
No trees were harmed in the posting of this message...however an extraordinarily large number of electrons were horribly inconvenienced.

From what I understand is LAB RSS can let you read the "codeplug too new" radio and make it readable in a regular RSS after you writing it in LAB RSS?
