Called out to a site cp down. Installed replacement cp, couldn't get either to come back. Ports tested fine and worked. Turns out the site contact was in config programming and never ended. We checked any active sets found it. Released the programming and bang system came up. Anyone else ever heard of being in programming on a mics not allowing the cp to fully go online?

Can't recall that specific situation, but I have had to re-boot both systems simultaneously on occasion to get them to talk.

Never had that happen, but then again i never tried booting a CP with a set in programming mode. I know you can only have one set in that mode. A second set will give you an error if you try to enter programming mode.
