Tait T2030 V2 Trunked - Programming help needed.

[Chris 2E0IFA]

Many thanks for accepting me into the forum.
I have a pair of T2030 radios which are both being reported as an "unknown radio" by DOS and Windows versions of the programming software. The 3.01 Windows version of the programming software did allow me to upload the standard v3.43 firmware to one radio but returned a "corrupted RAM" message followed by "unknown radio" after the reset. I'm certain the programming cable is good as I can send and receive control commands from my laptop. Any advice gratefully received.

when you read the radio does it tell you what version it is programmed with?
And you are running the TPA program not the CPA version?
Ive never played with the trunked models Mainly the 2020 models.
One tip which may help is in your comport setting turn off FIFO buffers
I had programming errors until i turned that off.
Sorry I cant help further like I say never done Trunked rigs.

Search the forums on here. There is a way to reset the tait, I wrote the procedure up on here some years ago. I trust you're using the V2 software, the V1 version won't work. Trunking rigs will only give you about 4 channels on simplex IIRC. I think you can swap the trunking boards for simplex ones (if you can find them), but they must be the same generation. It's been a long time since I've messed with these.

I am in the same boat with two 2040 trunking units. Cable good,(checked the talkback on the serial port with hyperterminal - works fine). 3.01 TPA software - unknown radio message. Tried every combination of baud rate etc on the com port.....nothing worked.
Looked thorugh the archives here and can't find a solution. Yet.
