MT2000 UNLOCKING

A local police dept in my area just changed officer numbers. When the radio tech tried reprograming the mt2000 uhf radio to change the ids he said the radio was locked and he cound not change any of the functions. Since the person who org sold the radios went out of business and we cant get a hold of him. Is there any other way to unlock the radio??

i didn't think the mtsx rss offered that option to lock the radio like that. clone another codeplug into it from another radio.

I'm really not sure what he means by "locked", as the MT2000 software doesn't have a provision for password protecting the codeplug. Maybe you could get him to elaborate a bit, as to what messages or error codes he's seeing when he tries to program the radio?

or is it a trunking system and is it asking for a trunking key?

Well, if it's an MT2000, it's conventional only. Unless he meant MTS2000...

Sorry for the lack of info. This is what was relayed to me. They are MT2000's. Ill will find out what they mean "locked" is.

He could mean that the radio is locked when you first turn it on. I have my MT2000 set up so it requires me to enter a code from the keypad when I power on the radio before I can use it.
