I finally got my RIB to work but when I try to read from my TK-780 "VPU OLD!" flashes on the screen of the radio. What does it mean?

Does the radio have a voice scrambler?

I dont think it does. I had a look inside and no accessories are attached

I googled VPU and Kenwood and found some info about Midian voice scramblers for Kenwoods called VPU11 and VPU15. Oh well it was worth a shot.

Sure it doesn't say"FPU OLD"? that means that it was previously programmed with newer software than you have.

I have accomplised feeling like a complete idiot. I looked again and that is exactly what it said. One question, can I tell what the prevously used softawre was or should I buy the newest rss for the radio?

If you write a program with the version that you have and dump it in...no problem.
