MCS2000 Model 1 48 to 150 channel mod?

I have been informed that it is possible to increase the number of channels in an MCS2000 Model 1 (front facing internal speaker type) from 48 to 150 (and maybe 255).
I've searched the internet and can only find a few comments about an "optional" 150 channel mod.
How do you increase the number of channels in an MCS2000 Model 1?
Can you just use a "150 channel" codeplug or do you need to flash the radio with new firmware?
Thanks

I could be wrong, but I think it was a flashcode option.

Yup, it's a flashcode option.. Same as on the MTS2000.. Option H260, 250 mode capability.

Does this just involve using LAB RSS to write a new "enhanced" codeplug to the MCS2000?

Can Option H260 be applied to a Model I?
I read that it only applies to Model II and III radios?

There is also flash option H259 150 Mode Capability (Model I Only), which is probably what you were originally looking for..
