that info is in the firmware, altering the codeplug won't change it. same with the band limits.

You have to change the firmware into the gp-380's one. You need firmware files and a flashrib to change the gp-680 into a gp-380. Then you have 255 channels, scanning and more....

A good start is to read the information on Batlabs :lol:

http://www.batlabs.com/htpro.html

Pin 12 is used for flashing, ribless cable (if fully wired/modified) can do this. Firmware is NOT found here (even asking is a forbidden).

if you have a valid copy of your cps and it's within it's 3 year period, the firmware is free from motorola along with your cps updates.

You have to flash the radio with the Professional Series lab flashtool.
For more information take a look at my homepage (German only)
