MCS2000 Programming problem/codeplug request...help anyone?

Post by unleashedff248 »

So I just got an MCS2000 today, model 3 UHF high split. And I got a little jumpy while my software is on backorder. So I decided to play around and see what was in the radio with MTSX Lab. I read the codeplug, was looking around, and somehow managed to reprogram the radio instead of reading it. I programed it with unpack, so now it's pretending to be a MTS portable I believe. It still powers on, no fail codes, but won't do squat. MCS software won't touch it. I didn't back up the S-Rec either. Stupid, I know. I didn't plan on programming it! The unpacked MTSX Lab read codeplug was saved on disk before the radio got reprogrammed, but I think this is worthless to me now.

So is there any way to resurrect this radio? Or is it good for "parts only" right now?

If anyone has a codeplug or S-rec for a MCS2000 model 3 UHF High split it would save my life (and my radio's life). Pleeeeeeeeeese if you have one send me PM or reply to the post for my email address. I will be forever indebted to you!

Thanks,
Dave

Ok, I'm on a good track here. I got the radio's display back to English. That's always good. Then I restarted the radio and got the awesome FAIL 01/82. No biggie. I know why I got that. I pushed a Model 2 'plug into it with Astro without unpack. NOW, all I need is that model 3 codeplug!

Will I have to retune the radio when I'm done? I'm guessing yes, just wanna make sure.

Ok, since it seems nobody have a Model 3 codeplug, I am willing to pay $20 US to the person that sends me the codeplug. I will pay via PayPal or Postal Money Order immediately.

Disregard all, I bought another radio so I'll just dump that codeplug in when I get it. Thanks for the help.
