Did HT-1000 series have Toolproofing consequences?

Post by Leadenwah »

Having learned the hard way about the toolproofing consequences of the MTS2000 series,
I wondered if the same consequences exit in the HT1000 line when using HT1000 lab ?

Great !

When I was only trying to save the code plug of that MCS-2000, with no attempt
at high adventure hacking, by simply pressing the wrong key sequence, I realized
that being overly confident and underly attentive is a good way to brick and mortar
a perfectly good radio. I will try to stay awake in approaching the HT-1000.

Thanks for this help and for serveral previous bailouts.

The HT1000 was teh 'bastard' child and never garnered the attention of Circle-M with toolproof issues in that it would never be more than a 16 channel radio that never had flashport capabilities, so you can hack, dice, slice and cut your way through the program and see what you can achieve.

Not to mention that even by a slim possibility you do manage to kill it; it's a quick resolution to simply reload the last good codeplug and you should be good to go.

Remember, the HT1000 is just a Visar that's been 'unfolded', but it is far tougher than it's cousin.

Thanks for the additional information.

I, too, tended to question the lineage of the radio along the way,
but it seems a pretty sound one.
