\n I believe these were US Forest Service radios in a former\n life.

\n MPA Scan (PAJ02) All were minted in the same week in 1993.

\n Using Dos M-PA/MTL Radio Programming v.11 and v.12

\n If I try to read the radio, as soon as the handshake\n begins, the radio beeps and goes to primary channel and\n the software gives me a check connection recycle radio\n error.
\n
\n When trying to program good files, after the initial\n handshaking, an error message pops up, "Cannot execute\n write. No such file or directory. Press enter to continue"
\n
\n I can go into maintenance and adjust parameters like\n squelch and power levels (tested afterwords) so the radio\n DOES communicate with the software.
\n
\n Programmer software v5.1 (2005) wont read it either. Error\n right after handshaking attempt shows "Invalid Read --\n Read Aborted. Turn off radio"
\n
\n I do not seem to be able to re-flash a personality in it\n either.
\n
\n ANY ideas would be welcomed.
\n
\n Thanks
