So, I'm trying to configure the radio onto our current practice base. When I go to configure, I get an error reading 'Bridge configuration failed: Failed to program radio settings. Please reset the bridge and try again.' According to the directions given by the configuration utility itself, the radio is supposed to be switched from OpenMesh to OM5P-AN. Problem is, that is not an option in the radio dropbar. So in essence, it is literally impossible to reset this thing. Any advice?
