An upgrade to this firmware has resulted in several issues and a locked machine with the red alarm light solid on.

Currently the machine responds correctly to its IPSC master and RDAC works but RDAC shows all alarms as locked. No TX or RX.

Initial firmware upgrade hanged at 68% (WIn 7 32 bit CPS 11.5 build 621). Recovery operation reported as successful.

Machine appeared to work fine after recovery in stand alone DMR mode but alarmed on IPSC connection to master.

This on the first of four machines. Ex factory R01.00.03 is working OK on other machines in IPSC as peers. Operation as Master yet to be tested.

UPDATE 1

Alarm is solid even removed from IPSC network and returned to stand alone.

Going to try recovery again and then test in stand alone.

UPDATE 2

OK, so the standard 'read code plug then write code plug' recommended to clear alarm locked units works to clear the fault until it connects again to the master. Take it out of IPSC mode to stand alone and write the code plug back it's OK.

Have cloned in a working IPSC code plug and it works in IPSC mode OK. Weird. Looking possibly like a corrupt codeplug but I'll do more checking before making a call.
