Converting GP680 to GP380
Posted: 26 Sep 2018, 18:43
As the title suggests, I'm looking to downgrade my newly aquired GP680's to GP380's, mainly as I don't need the trunking capabilitys and would prefer more than the 16 channels that are available on the 680's when using them in conventional mode.
First off, I have a programming cable on the way, it's not a RIB but I have programmed the GP series of radio's in the past and had great success with the RS232 serial cable. What I hope to do is update them to the same, most recent firmware (I know I need a RIB for this bit).
Has anyone ever done this before? I will probably need a 380 codeplug and the correct version of the CPS software, I'll have to check which version I already have from when I previously owned some of these. The only information I have relating to the radios at the moment is as follows:
I have 6 of these
Tanapa - 5 x Radios are PMUE1437D. 1 X Radio is PMUE1437C
Model - 5 x Radios are MDH25RDH9CK6AE. 1 X Radio is PMUE1437CAE
Version - R02.06.04 (x1). R02.09.01 (x3), R02.07.05 (x2)
Any advice or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
