This was a problem that plagued the P25 quite a few months (year?) ago, and
all
of the batch that were known to have the problem were recalled. Is it
possible 
that you have one of that batch ? i.e. quite an old serial number ?

The cause otherwise is not known, effectively what has happened is that the
unit's serial number and unit ID has been deleted or lost from FLASH -
something
that should never happen even with software changes, option updates, flash
downloads - never.

I would highly recommend that we get the unit RMA'd so that Ascend can
attempt to
diagnose the cause of the failure.
