The new radios not being able to be programmed from the "old" ones often happens. The new radios require the newest software and are not backwards compatible. The new configuration file was done with your existing software, right? You need the NEWEST version of the software and that will work. You can program the old radios from the new software. So, get the newest version, then do a new config file and program all the radios from that file. If this does not work, contact a Vertex radio dealer. They may need to do the factory reset and program the radios. My favorite dealer is Event Rental in Portland, OR.

Assuming the vehicles antenna is intact and in one piece, check the antenna connection behind the radio. If the antenna is connected behind the radio, there could possibly be a problem with the radio's tuner (internally). The only way to properly diagnose this problem is to place a radio that is known to work into the vehicle (simply to test) and check the radio reception. If the radio reception is improved and working, you know the problem lies within the radio itself.

If it still does not work, there is a problem with the antenna on the vehicle (disconnected, damaged, cut, etc.)

Dead battery..now radio won't work - Honda CR-V Owners Club

My radio stopped working. I was able to take it into a Bose store and trade it in on a new radio. My old one was about ten years old and it did not have a CD player. I was able to trade it in on a new one with a CD player.

radio's do fail if the radio and nothing ells is wrong you can replace the radio. buttons stopping working on the radio is a good sign there is a problem with the radio and nothing ells is wrong with the wiring. it may have over heated some time ago and has been working on borrowed time from the other components in the radio. now working with the engine running is down to there is more volts running into the radio with the engine running . no engine running it will have a steady 12v around. but with engine running it would be around 14v or just under. would replace radio one from same year as yours or same radio code type. hope this helps you

GP300 radios will operate either radio-to-radio or in conjunction with a repeater. If your radio no longer works through a repeater, you might check to see if it will work in talk-around mode (radio-to-radio). Check with your repeater service provider to see if the repeater is in working order. One other item which might occur with a repeater would be if your radio is no longer recognized by serial number by the repeater. This is also something the service provider could help you with.
Best regards.

if it work on battery and didnt work on 120 volt,the transformer is dead,i see a lot of radio with dead transformer.
if it dont work with battery and 120v,the control board have problem.

Check to see if you get power and ground at the radio. If you get power and ground then the radio may be faulty. Also if you get the radio out see if there is a fuse on the back of it and check it if there is one

Mines similar, outlets work but radio will only work on battery. Radio will not work on mains only. Charger works at same time so ok. SORTED IT TONIGHT. Inside the charger inside the box there is a fuse (240v 2A) I think, tiny radio fuse. Changed that tonight and radio now works on mains only or battery. Very awkwark job but better than watching a load of cr** on tv. Hope this helps someone.
