EXITING PROGRAMMING MODE
To exit programming mode, turn off the radio
ACCESSING PROGRAMMING MODE PARAMETERS
In dealer config., Programming mode parameters are grouped into 3 (three) main categories.

RW = Radio Wide
Channel (001 to XXX) and
VFO (Variable Frequency Operation)

User + or - buttons to move from one category to another.

RW < >CH 001 < > CH 002 < > …. < > CH XXX < > VFO
Note : Radio operating in User Configuration is only restricted to PW parameters

Once you have selected the category and wish to view its parameter, use PTT or MON to move from one parameter to another.

Hi,

To my understanding the VHF version of the Motorola GP 2000 is a 5 watter while the UHF is 4 watts. In any case, the model # GP 2000 is for a North America version while the International models would carry the PRO2150 tag.

In any case, an "EPROM" is similar to the BIOS of a motherboard or the firmware of a router and therefore an "EPROM EER" or "EPROM ERR" indicates possible failure or an issue in the firmware.

Assuming that it is a software problem and not hardware, you would need appropriate software and interface cable that the unit's firmware may be re-programmed back. Of course it has to be attached to a computer. The interface cable comes in 2 models, a USB female and a RS232/DB9 Female both terminated at the other end with a HLN9716 style connector (2.5 mm audio stereo plug). The application used is an RSS programming software (R??.??.??) normally run under DOS. The ? refers to firmware version/dates. You need to determine the exact version of your firmware. Further you need to contact Motorola India to secure the RSS software and a copy of the firmware.

Alternately, you can try (but not guranteed; depends on extent of firmware problem) cloning the defective GP-2000 from an operational unit. This action would require a cloning cable. It is a 3 wire cable terminated at bothe ends with an HLN9716 style connector (2.5 mm audio stereo plug).

Another option is to try RSS programming software for other models. If you have access to a 2nd GP-2000, you can copy the operational radio's firmware and save it as a file in your PC. Thereafter, upload saved file to overwrite the defective firmware of the radio in question. Some RSS Programming Software for many Motorola radio models maybe found here.

Pls bear in mind that:
Some radios are put in programming (cloning) mode automatically;
Some radios are put in programming (cloning) mode manually by pressing a specific set of buttons while turning on;
Some radios need pressing specified buttons to start data upload or download;
Some radios may be locked to prevent reading or writing data

Refer to your specific radio manual.

Hope that this be of some help/idea. Pls post back how things turned out or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.
