MCS2000 Scan Hack?

[bellersley]

So, everyone knows about the scan list hack for the Astro series of radios (15+1 talkgroups instead of 10+1). But, does anyone know if such a thing has been figured out for the MCS2000? It's obviously possible, but it's all a matter of finding the right addreses I guess.

I'd meant to try it, just never got around to it. Here's the string I searched for to do it in Astro RSS 9.03:

Code: Select all

0F 00 00 00 0A

You should see three more instances of 0A after that, spaced apart with three 00 bits. If you don't, it's probably random code. Obviously, you're going to be looking in MCS.ODB.

Good luck! If you do find it, please post the specific addresses to save us lazy folk the legwork.

I did a little bit of looking around and couldn't find anything. I didn't spend much time on it though. I'll dig a bit deeper tomorrow. I'm guessing since the MCS RSS is very similar as Astro RSS, it'll be in a similar format, just a different address. I suppose the MTSX RSS would be the same way as well?

Anyone ever figure this out? I want to increase the 15ch scan list limit in CPS R02.01.00 for a Model I

Also I have 3 zones and 3 scan lists, one for each zone. All seems to work fine, (IE I scan the channels in the zone where I start the scan) But when I edit the scan list from the front panel, I only get scan list 1, no matter what zone I am in.

I tried once on MTSX version 06.07.00 and came up with nothing like what shows up in Astro RSS. More than likely MTSX and MCS RSS are fundamentally different enough from Astro RSS at the coding level that they need different hacks.
