PLL Not Locked on 8000DLE

Setting up an 8000DLE and on the Gen H/W setup tab in the Firmware box, it is showing "PLL Not Locked".
The radio is working FB.
The Firmware version is 1.2.0 and the P2 version is (v3.3).
Any thoughts?

That's fairly old firmware. Check this thread:
https://community.apache-labs.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=4462

You probably want to download and install 'Metis_Orion_MkII_Protocol_2_v2.1.18.rbf'

BTW, the 'PLL Unlocked' message is a misnomer, that version of firmware didn't update the
pll_locked variable sent to Thetis. It is most likely that it is locked but since it is never set
there is no way to know for sure.

I installed the latest version of protocol 2 and now the PLL is showing to be locked.
