My local Motorola tech is trying to install a ST 20b inversion scrambler in my MT 1000, but cant. He says he don't want to solder to the flex. can't find any schemetics. Any ideas?

In order to email you we need an email address!!! If he's a Motorola tech? He can get the schemetic for an MT1000. Or you can for $30. by calling 1-800-422-4210 and ask for the service manual! Or go to another Motorola tech/repair center.

I will advise anyone to NOT try to solder to the flex. All the connections are available at the options jack or on the main baord.

<b>There is really NO REASON that one would
have to solder to the flex ! Find another
qualified tech.

Soldering to the PC Foil under the Mylar will
damage the Flex FOREVER ! Also, since parts from Motorola is becoming more difficult and
expensive, you might turn a good radio into a
paper weight.

I do detailed work, but I am not Cheap !!

If you can't find someone in your area, I can
offer to do the work, but you may be out 125.00-150.00 for the upgrade.

Depending on the size of the board in question, I would recomend a extended front
cover ( as in the ones used for MDC ) and
mount the PC baord to the new front cover, and re-route the wires to the Radio Directly
through a small disconnect ( for Service / when / if needed )

At least it will be done properly !

Thanks, I have the MDC front cover, and the flex part I was concerned about. The board is approx 1/2 by 1 in.
