5100 ES Portable Radio

Post by jsikora »

OK, So I have this brand new radio - Model # 242-557d-810HL6

The radio is supposed to be a 800 Mhz 48 Talkgroup radio. The issue I keep getting is Zone Fail. I dumped in an archive for my other portable and go t this. I started a file from scratch. If I have only 1 Multi-Net zone I am ok, as soon as I add a second I get zone fail. I added 3 other conventional zones and do not get this..... Ideas ??
can ya hear me now...

if you add more than 3 zones to a 48 Channel radio you will get the Zone Fail error message. Since the radio cannot handle more than 48 channels (3 zones x 16 channels).
Even if you have 4 zones with 12 channels you will get the same, once you exceed 3 zones you will get the error.

I.S.
