I just got an Astro Spectra VHF off ebay. It powered up everything seemed to work. So I read the codeplug, and reprogrammed to what I wanted. After I wrote the new data, the radio turned off then on and then on the display of the radio said "ILLEGAL". Once I pressed the mode button it went away and everything seems to work. I've programmed several Astro Spectra's and never seemed to have had this message....Any ideas?

The radio may have been on a zone/chan number that no longer existed in your new codeplug.

I have two zones enabled and all personalities are assigned to a zone. It doesn't interfere with using it, just kind of annoying. Any idea of where to fix it in the CPS? Thanks for the reply

Using encryption by chance?

Are you saying that the error still comes up every time you turn on the radio, or just that it came up one time right after programming it?
