Spectra: Parts to convert std 110W to securenet

Fellow Spectra users,

Those of you who have in mind to convert your 110-watt radio's interconnect board from standard to 'Securenet' (by adding the front keyload connector), take note: One of the key parts that you will need to do the job to 'Factory' spec is being discontinued.

Specifically: 32-80206R02. This is the interconnect board's front gasket, and it comes in two versions. The standard version has the keyload connector area blocked off. The secure version has the necessary opening. The part number above is for the 'secure' version.

When I ordered this part just today, there was a big red notice on the item entry which said that it will be no longer available after depletion of current stock. This also holds true for many of the DEK buttons (notably the ones which have 'Mode xx' on them, where xx are numbers).

So: If you've been putting off ordering certain buttons, or that gasket, best get it done now while the parts are still available!

Keep the peace(es).

Or, grab some ASN boxes off ebay and plug one in to the extra port. I found out that works too. I was a bit surprised being the 2nd cable that went from it to the SIU could be left dangling but it worked as long it was converted to a "normal" ASN through RSS first.

I figured I would mention it as another option.
