You need the new control head, and a s-record, or DOS archive from the correct model/band. You need LAB RSS to force in the s-rec or archive. Before you load the new codeplug you also want to record the softpot values from your existing codeplug. They will need to be re-loaded into the radio once the new codeplug is in. It's best to do a re-alignment if you have a service monitor.
