Seems to me that is a control head/chib mismatch. You have the wrong version CHIB on the control head.

Post the part numbers of the head and chib. I have both chibs for sale so I should have one that works if interested.

I have a question- I have 2 HLN1463E O5 control heads that don't seem to work with either the older HLN1453B or newer HLN1468A CHIBS.
(yes, the heads are from Panter). Do you have any CHIBS for sale that you can confirm work w/ the E rev?

FYI I get FAIL 05/93 with the older CHIB and 05/94 w/ the newer one. Also the older CHIB works with an HLN1463D head fine.

Thanks.

From what I know,
FAIL 05/93, you need to sync the head and body with CPS.
FAL 05/94, the CHIB is the wrong one for the model Head.

I don't think the 05/93 is correct as the E-heads work fine when hooked up dashmount.

I had the same problem with one of my radios as a local unit it worked. Put the remote kit on and I got fail 05/93 did a sync with CPS radio worked.
My other radio was a local and I put a remote kit on an I got fail 05/94 I had a CHIB HLN1453 changed it to new model put it on the radio and it worked no problem.

Nope, no good. Can't even communicate with the brick. I kinda suspected it wouldn't work
when it showed the 05/93 error even before the GCAI control cable was attached. It's gotta
be the wrong CHIB. There must be a 3rd rev....

Ok you could try an firmware update on the radio as a local. My mate also had the same error he tells me he put it back as a local did a zap flash upgrade to newer FW and his worked when he put it back as a remote unit. Could not hurt to try.

Already 17.01.01. Head has 13.-something. It's all the latest except for that new narrowband
update a month or two ago.

Ok I have XTL 2500 they are running FW 19.xx.xx.
But, don't what radio you but strange you could reflash with the same FW. If you have a XTL 5000 Or 2500 19.xx.xx might work. It has not installed the FCC mandate 12.5khz on any of my radio I am using CPS 18.xx.xx As well.

The FCC mandate is a flash option in the radio, if it was manufactured after 1/1/2013, not the firmware.

Same problem here - FAIL 05-94.

XTL5000 with O5 head, remote config.

Head: S/T HLN1452D Kit No: HLN6903E
CHIB S/T HLN1471E

Body is FW 19.*, but head was never upgraded.

FYI, Bob, 17.01.01 is very buggy. You need to get a newer flash.
