# HG changeset patch # User Richard Cochran ag6qr@sonic.net # Date 1456163532 28800 # Mon Feb 22 09:52:12 2016 -0800 # Node ID c1b004870809561b8ee6d34dba1043b750373bf6 # Parent 480369e272a2ea6b6d0ff7650c4abebcd47cdab8 [FT2900] Add msg for attempt to upload to locked radio. Fixes #3055 A user may "lock" an FT-2900/FT-1900, preventing configuration changes. An upload will fail if this is the case. This patch adds some text to the upload dialog box to help the user avoid attempting to upload to a locked radio. It also adds some text to the error message that appears on upload failure, to suggest the user check to make sure his radio is not locked.
