Batboard

is there any ez way to add a full key pad to my ht1250? I would just add it along with a refurb case kit. Does anyone have a parts radio I could get the key pad off? if so how much $$$??

just get a refurb kit for a full keypad radio (i sell them for $39.50, new ht1250 label included) and then turn on hot keypad for each personality you want to have dtmf for

the limited keypad radios already have a full keypad keyboard inside....

wow , great news, I didn't know that. thanx for that info. I should have the radio here within the next 2 weeks. if it's all good I will be getting that kit from you. thanks again. one more thing. would you happen to have a display for a 45 watt spectra? mine crapped out and I don't want to buy a whole radio off ebay for parts if I don't have to. a used pull out would be fine.

gimme a model # and i will see what i have, i have a unit with physical body damage, but the head is fine for parts, i can check tomrorow night

my buddy still has the radio. I will ask him to email the model # all he told me so far is it's a uhf ht1250 with a display and no dtmf pad. thanks for your help. I will email him right now..

up date,,,,HT-1250,,, the guy that was going to sell me the ht,,,sez It died while he was programming it. it don't look like I will be getting it..the price was right to, bummer.. I would much rather have a 1550 anyway.. just kinda out of my SSSS range for now. thank you guy's

For the HT1250's, just be aware that there are "A" and "B" model case differences. Very subtle. I think I have a B radio and was able to get the A case to fit, or vice versa. I think there is a change in how a tab or two fits. It was over 2 or 3 years ago when I did it, so I don't remember the details. Needs a little finesse, but it works.
