@amateur_radio does anybody know how to unlock an Anytone 878 after shipping? I’ve pressed Menu and * I have plugged it into the software and the four options to select aren’t showing up. I’m stuck.

    @TrojanHam When I push any key on my brand new unboxed radio it says “Keys Locked” I can’t turn it off. I can’t use my radio at all. I have been in the cps for 3 hours trying to make it so I can use my radio.

      I think what you’re looking for is in the Optional Settings > Key Functions tab of the CPS. After you’ve saved your codeplug, you need to load it to the radio.

        @TrojanHam Ok that makes sense. So I’ve been on there trying to get it to set but I have run into needing to set my Radio ID, then my Zone, and now my Band has an error haha. And I still can’t unlock the keys. So now I’m trying to fix the band error, any thoughts?

          I believe the band error arises when you have a frequency programmed outside the allocation (amateur vs commercial) for the radio. It must be set in the CPS as well but don’t remember where but it is one of the first/early settings you should set.

          I would recommend looking it up on the Bridgecom YouTube videos. They can be tedious but they also have some very useful information.
