P1225 Conversion?

Hello.
I have with me 2 P1225's.
One is a VHF With Display/Keypad, (not LS model), and one is a UHF regular radio, no keypad/display (ala model 1)
Both are 16chs.
Is it possible to swap housings so that the UHF radio is the one with the display and keypad? I could use those features more on UHF than VHF.
Thanks for any help as always.

OK, so I swapped out housings, and all it will display is SCAN when Scanning, and the Channel Number (IE CH 1)
BUT, it will freeze on that channel. If I have the radio on Channel 1, it will display as such. BUT, if I change the knob, the display stays the same, still displaying Channel 1. It will display the correct channel, say, if I switch over to 7 and tap scan on then off, it will go to 7, but freeze again.
Is there any way to hex the codeplug so that the RSS writes my radio as a display radio? Reading the radio works fine, but I'd like to get the display working right. Yes, this is a display/keypad case on a non display/keypad radio. Just trying to make this work if it's possible.

Did you 'modify' the RSS to reflect the case/display swap?
The non display UHF radio may still 'think' it's a non display model if you didn't change the parameters to reflect the display addition as well as enable it.
I doubt the radio will not be able to recognize the display once you set the option to enable, the radios are the same, just without the extras.

Hm..I did not see an option in the RSS to enable display/keypad functionality.
