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.

I have two of these db40-g radios with the exact same issue. e1,e2 code on power up. will update codeplug, will accept firmware update, but no beeps when knob is turned, just a little pop. no transmit and no receive. I have a message to radioddity.

Did you try to install the firmware again?  Maybe it didn't go in right or it's faulty and a new one will need to be reissued.

Do a reset and you should be good after reprogramming.
