Radioddity DB40-G - Programming Lost its tone

[WSGU761]

After programming and installing the new firmware version my radio lost the beep or tone it used to make when changing channels. It also lost communication, And every time I turn on my radio I get E1 - E2 on the screen and then it starts up. has anyone had this happen to them?

As far as a beep when changing channels, that’s probably the key tone, menu 1.9 according to the manual. Turn it on. It’s not surprising that updating the firmware would reset that.

As far as losing communication you’ll have to explain that. Does the radio no longer transmit?  Does it no longer receive?  Maybe the tones were cleared (again, fully expected in a firmware upgrade).

I have no clue what e1-e2 means; maybe nothing.

An issue with a raditiddy radio? No way and after a pointless firmware update? Really?    Been in radios over 20years never once have I update firm ware.  Why bother. It’s a radio. It tx and rx and 22 plus 8 channels that’s all it needs to do.   Dump the junk radio and stop messing with it and just use it.
