Can I use the same codeplug for ht1250 with limited keypad and one with a full keypad and only have the radio with full keypad not activated. I could modify the codeplug for the new features or will i toast the full keypad radio? Do I need to make up a new program for the one with full keypad.
Thanks for any help

Not to sure what you're trying to do here, why are you trying to put a limited keypad codeplug into the full keypad radio? to disable the keypad? you can do that by other means. on top of that, theres no way to put a code plug into a radio with a mismatching serial number except by means of force, explain exactly what you are trying to do, and i'll try to help,if you're just trying to copy the stuff within the codeplug you may be better off cloning.

you can clone one to the other and then just shutoff the numeric keypad for the limited keypad model or turn if on for the full keypad model ....it won't matter....
but in order to clone a codeplug...they have to be the same model, other than the limited or full keypad...you also have to have the 'clone' checked in the basic setup...

- What radios do you own?: HT750 Ht1250 CDM1250 CDM1550
ht1250 programming
I was trying to copy from one radio to the other without having to build the program all over.
So tell me if im right if the two radios are the same model but ( and they are going to have different serial numbers) I should be cloaning the one radio to the other.
Not just load the codeplug from radio "A" and program it to radio "B"
I'm sort of new to this and don't want to mess up a good radio.
Another question you said you could force it.
Can you put the original codeplug back into the radio and everyting be ok with it. ie. then clone it or completely write it for the code plug from that radio hope im saying this so you can understand like i said new to this with diffferent radios.
Thanks

This is prolly gonna be over-simplified for you since you seem to have some clues here, but for those who have inquiring minds, here goes.
As stated in the above posts, make sure the two radios in question are of the same model and freq range. If there's a difference in model numbers, find out if the difference is significant to what you want to modify.
Do the "Read Device" thing for the radio you want to use as the clone source and save that codeplug for safekeeping under a name that indicates it's the original codeplug for the source radio. Detach the source radio.
Now store that source codeplug under a new filename. When that's done you should have the source codeplug stored in it's original form under a name that tells you it's the original source codeplug, and again under a new name.
Go to the source codeplug stored under the new name, modify the appropriate fields in that codeplug for use in the radio to be cloned, then store the modified codeplug under the new filename you just created. When you attempt to store the modified codeplug, the software should tell you if there are "Invalid Fields." If so, just follow the prompts and the software will identify the invalid fields so you can correct them.
Attach the radio to be cloned and do the "Read Device" thing and store that codeplug with a name that tells you it's the original for the recipient radio.
Recall the modified source codeplug and do the "Write Device" thing with the recipient radio. Detach the radio.
In case something goes awry (not very likely), you have the original codeplugs saved and you can shoot them back into the appropriate radios as could be necessary when Murphy gets involved. Unless there's some significant difference in the firmwares in the two radios, the recipient radio should be fine with a cloned codeplug. I've done this procedure about two zillion times in the past few years and have never had a problem beyond the usual "hey numbfingle, you forgot to connect the radio to the computer" kind of thing.
