It sure sounds like you have Version 5 firmware to me. Can you read the existing codeplug, then send it back immediately to the station without doing anything else, i.e. F2, followed by F8?
Can you write a "blank" codeplug to the station? I think CONV3.DEF is the one for system 3 (version 5), but you may have to fill in a few things first, like Tx and Rx frequencies. Try reloading the software from the floppy. Yes I know it's not supposed to change, but you never know. Stuff happens. I have had stations come up with errors after being programmed, from people jamming a V5 codeplug in a V3 firmware station. I just loaded a V3 codeplug into it several times until it took it, then replaced the firmware and started fresh with V5. I don't know if you can "blank" an MSF5000, much less how to do it. Luckily, even with all kinds of errors, the CPUs usually respond to programming requests. This is a strange one.
