Bug #3895
closedChirp Causes V103 10W Leixen VV898 to Autopower off after a couple of minutes
0%
Description
I have loaded TWO working V1.03 10W VV-898s with a Chirp file which was created on a V1.05 25W radio.
Now the two V1.03 radios act normal except they power off after about 2 minutes. I have tried all 3 factory resets as well as re-reading the V1.03 radio files and re-writing them to the radios. I have used Chirp as well as the V1.03 Leixen software, trying to "reset" the radios.
Nothing works. The two radios power off after a couple of minutes, not matter what is done to them. Has anyone else encountered this?
Can anyone send me a chirp file read from a fresh V1.03 10W Leixen?
Thank you,
Glen

Never upload an img downloaded from one radio to another radio, especially if the versions are different!
I also recommend the first thing you do with a new radio is Download and then save a copy of the img somewhere safe. Obviously you figured this out yourself as you are asking for a fresh file. You might try asking on the mailing list. Hope someone can help you. :-)

Glen,
Have you changed the Settings->Auto Power Off setting to something else and then back to OFF to see if that restores the Auto Power Off?
Attached is a "factory" image for a Leixen VV-898 v1.03 radio.

Thank you!
The new factory image has restored the radio to a mode where it will stay on.
I have learned my "lesson." :-)
