Is it a trunking radio? If so, you will need the trunking software.

Try writing something to it, it might have got corrupted or there could be some kind of read lock. There is info on here about the T2020, although most of it relates to the type 1. It may benefit from a total reset, although I don't know if the same procedure applies to type 2.

Also, are you running the laptop plugged in to the charger? You may have a ground loop affecting the serial cable. Try running the laptop on the battery only, not plugged in. If the lappy won't run without the charger, try using a clean DC power feed to it, and the radio (a battery or something).

John,

welcome to TM1. Not sure if it is of any help with your particular radio but I have the Windows SW for the T2000 radios. If you send an email to [email protected] I can provide you with it. At least it is worth a try I think.
