Spectra head swap help.

Post by U233 »

I have a 900 mhz spectra with a B5 head and I wanted to change it to an A4 head. When I looked at hex 6060 it returned 2F ( I expected the widely reported AF). Does anyone know what I should input here, the standard values for the A4/A5/A7 wont work and crash the radio on reboot.

I tried changing the radio to a A4 head by bit banging the model number and hex 6060 stubbornly stays 2F, The radio wide setup screen displays standard head and it cant be changed there either.

Thanks

I dont know offhand but you make a good point, why not move the head and the MLM to the target radio.

I 'll look it up later today.

Thanks
