Problem with Vertex VX-820
I have 4 UHF band Vertex VX-821e radios and have programmed them to my frequencies using the CE59 v2.10 software.
However, only one of them communicates. The other 3 just emit 3 short beeps on TX and do not receive the programmed frequencies on RX. When I upload from the radios again, the RX frequencies have changed by 1.875MHz from what they were programmed to. Wierd. Can anyone explain this?
Its obviously not the program software as it works ok on the 1 unit.
How can I rectify this so that I can get the radios to communicate properly?
They are all the same model and frequency range (400-470Mhz).

Try "reading" the radio before programming it. It sounds like the programming software is using the settings from one radio to write to another. It's highly probable that the firmware is different on the two radios.
It's always a good idea to "read" a radio befor trying to 'write' to it..
