KYDERA DP-550S dPMR - Programming Issues
Posted: 03 Feb 2017, 08:36
Hi all,
Urgently need some tech / programming help
firstly, im new here, and new to UHF radios.
I have purchased 3 of these radios, and also have the Kydera DP-550S software (V 2.5.0) and programming lead.
The radios worked fine out of the box, however, all were set with the following factory information:
Radio alias = DP-550S
Radio ID = 0000001
This prevented the dPMR function of direct calling / messages, as all 3 radios had the same details.
So I plugged in with the lead and software, and changed the alias and ID of 2 of the 3 radios:
Radio 1 alias = Radio 1 VT
Radio 1 ID = 0000001
Radio 2 alias = Radio 2 JD
Radio ID = 0000002
After programming, the alias and ID had successfully changed, however, both of these radios are now stuck on channel 001 (digital) and wont change, and emit a steady half-second beep (like a homing signal) from the speaker. The menu functions still work, however, they will not transmit, will not change channel and will not do Tx/Rx related.
Feeling a bit software savvy, I "read" the 3rd radio back to the software (with all of the factory default), and re-flashed / "wrote" radios 1 & 2 with the same information.
Although the alias and ID changed back, same problem being stuck on digital channel 001, and the homing beeps from the speaker. Ive been through all of the visible menu setting checking defaults of Radio 3 against the problematic radios 1 & 2, and all menus appear to be the same options / selections.
Is this something like "stun" mode? If so, how do I unlock it? I cant find/think of anything that would cause this channel lock and beeping.
I'm at an absolute loss where to go from here. £200 worth of 3 radios which are now unusable as a trio.....
I have emailed Kydera in China, however, they are on Chinese new year for a few more days, and I'm not sure what level of technical support / clear English I will get back?
I cant see I've done anything obvious wrong.
Any programming advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks All.
