Messages
Busy - This error indicates that a call has been attempted and the system has responded
that no channels are available for assignment.
Busy Tmout - This error indicates that the radio previously received a busy response
from the system and it has not received a channel grant before the busy time-out timer
has expired.
Chnl Limit - If seen upon startup, this error indicates that the radio has been
programmed with more channels than what it is optioned for. This error is also
indicated with 10 orange blinks of the LED.
Clear Only - This error indicates that the selected channel or group is strapped clear
only and that a secure call cannot be made.
Cold Battery - This error indicates that at the current voltage and temperature
conditions, the radio predicts that transmitting at high power will cause the voltage to
drop below 6 volts and perhaps cause the radio to reset.
Corrupt Parm - The parameters checksum or other data is corrupted. This error will
also be indicated with 5 orange blinks of the LED.
Cycle Power - There is a communication failure between the DSP and the back end
ADC on the RF deck. This error will also be indicated with 8 orange blinks of the LED.
Denied - This error indicates that a group call attempt has received a DENIED response
from the system.
Deny - This error indicates that a unit or interconnect call attempt has received a
DENIED response from the system.
Disabled - This error indicates that the feature that the user is attempting to use has
been disabled on the radio either by programming or by factory options.
DSP Failed - This error indicates that the DSP failed to complete its startup procedure
at power up. This is also indicated with 7 orange blinks of the LED.
Encrypt Bad - This error indicates that the main processor and the encryption module
have failed to complete their startup procedure at power up. This error is also indicated
with 11 orange blinks of the LED.
Fixed Auto - This error indicates that the selected channel or group is strapped to auto
power and thus high/low power cannot be selected.
Fixed High - This error indicates that the selected channel or group is strapped to high
power and thus low power cannot be selected.
Fixed Low - This error indicates that the selected channel or group is strapped to low
power and thus high power cannot be selected.
HC08 Failure - The HCO8 was not initialized correctly and cannot be accessed for
flash reads and writes, etc. This error will also be indicated with 9 orange blinks of the
LED.
Hot - This error indicates that the radio has passed the hot temperature threshold. Under
these conditions the radio will only transmit in low power.
