MCS2000 Programming problem/codeplug request...help anyone?

So I just got an MCS2000 today, model 3 UHF high split. And I got a little jumpy while my software is on backorder. So I decided to play around and see what was in the radio with MTSX Lab. I read the codeplug, was looking around, and somehow managed to reprogram the radio instead of reading it. I programed it with unpack, so now it's pretending to be a MTS portable I believe. It still powers on, no fail codes, but won't do squat. MCS software won't touch it. I didn't back up the S-Rec either. Stupid, I know. I didn't plan on programming it! The unpacked MTSX Lab read codeplug was saved on disk before the radio got reprogrammed, but I think this is worthless to me now.
So is there any way to resurrect this radio? Or is it good for "parts only" right now?
If anyone has a codeplug or S-rec for a MCS2000 model 3 UHF High split it would save my life (and my radio's life). Pleeeeeeeeeese if you have one send me PM or reply to the post for my email address. I will be forever indebted to you!
Thanks,
Dave

Ok, I'm on a good track here. I got the radio's display back to English. That's always good. Then I restarted the radio and got the awesome FAIL 01/82. No biggie. I know why I got that. I pushed a Model 2 'plug into it with Astro without unpack. NOW, all I need is that model 3 codeplug!
Will I have to retune the radio when I'm done? I'm guessing yes, just wanna make sure.

Already tried the codeplug supersite. No dice. Everything's model 2.

Ok, since it seems nobody have a Model 3 codeplug, I am willing to pay $20 US to the person that sends me the codeplug. I will pay via PayPal or Postal Money Order immediately.

Disregard all, I bought another radio so I'll just dump that codeplug in when I get it. Thanks for the help.
