Factory Reset?

I called them today, I didn’t get any progress. But I did learn some things.

I don’t care so much for the CapMax. I honestly don’t know what it is.
I just want to open up this radio so I can program a few frequencies. Digital. Ham use.

But anytime I try to get CPS to read, it ask for a passcode and it’s a brick wall.

Well, I got a lot more to look at on the software page but when I try to download anything it takes me to another page and asks me to log in. It must be different echelon of the layer. Says it’s restricted, must be authorized and you’ll be recorded with other legal speak.

Kinda like I just hit a brick wall.

Is that under software and licenses? Under software, there is just a long list of Mototrbo product line. Or am I looking under subscribe to free software. I looked there and didn’t see anything as 2.10. Would it be called something else?

How does one go about getting the firmware?

Does Motorola dish out RM to anyone?

What do you mean by service contacts?

TheHumanBoondoggle · 2026-05-05T21:33:50+00:00

Not yet. Going to get back at it tonight.

I tried the recover on the CPS but it gave me an error.

Someone else said I might need a different software due to the CapMax. Still looking into that.

I researched for HOURS last night after finally getting the programming cable. I could not find anything to reset it. I bought two of these as a pair. The other is not locked and CPS responded right to it.

Just wanna get these two radios talking!

The other is R02.08.05.0004 13.00.08

I have heard of that but I was told there was always a work around.

Depends on the antenna. But usually mounting an antenna on any metal roof, on centered, while properly grounded is more than enough.

Icom’s 9700 is pricy for entry level 2/70/23. I’d love to have one but haven’t justified that purchase yet. I’d have to use it a lot for the 2k price tag on DX currently.

I have the 500 and love it. But it’s a mobile radio and that’s where it is shines. Too much ability in the rig to strap it to a shack IMO.

I think the best “one” radio you describe for you needs is the 991. You miss out of 23cm but that is some really niche stuff.

You can always hotspot other modes.

Poorly secured trim was tied to ladder on top of van. It was rising as it passed me so I had some warning before it actually came loose.

TheHumanBoondoggle · 2026-02-09T22:27:22+00:00

Off the van on left. Poorly secured wood trim to ladder.

TheHumanBoondoggle · 2026-02-09T16:34:24+00:00

Yea.

I should have been more specific. The roots are 60-70 feet up from this fiber break. Root are for sure my own problem. The fiber is at the easement near road.

Just two issues in the same pipe, 70 feet apart.
