2xM1225 LS repeater programming

[mydog8em]

Hello, I have this setup currently programmed for 467/462.5500 PL 127.3. Works great but it turns out i need to change the frequencies. I bought a single M1225LS to play with and it reads/programs fine. However, I put either one of the repeater radios on it and they both say the radio is not active, check cables etc. etc. Does something need to be done to activate them for programming? Thank you for any info provided.

I'm using the LS/CPS v3.0 if that helps.

I was coming into this & expecting to tell you to use the LS version software, but seems you've already got that. Makes me wonder if the radios are actually standard M1225's with an LS housing snapped on ?   Can you compare the model number to the radio that does read/write?

I've also heard of some folks snipping the mic jack leads to keep people from messing around with 'their' programming. Take a minute or two and check that out if you bought the setup already programmed by someone else. You should also check the mic jack connection to make sure they are clean and not corroded. If the repeater was sitting without a palm mic plugged in the jack, it's possible that it's just dirty and not making a good connection.

The repeater came with a hand mic, it works on both radios. not a keypad but just a standard PTT with a green LED. I also have the 1225 non LS ver. 4.0 which does the same. I'm kinda scared to take it apart, but soon as i can or do I'll check the model #.
