XTS5000 Model 2 to Model 3

Post by Mopar078 »

Anyone know how I can get a XTS5000 from Model 2 to a Model 3 without replacing the controller board. I understand this radio isn't like the Xts3000 as far as hacking, I was just wondering what options I have. Thanks

Step 3: Profit?

No, some people have ways they just don't share. There is a radio for sale right now on the board that looks like it was once a model 2 and is now a model 3 with fpp. Maybe you'll get lucky and one of those who have it figured out ahead of the rest of us will contact you...

Please read the following thread for my usual rant that I re-post every time this comes up.

Unfortunately, nobody here is going to help you with that kind of operation. Read the thread and you'll see why.

Akardam's advice is sage. Sell the radio you have, buy the one you want.
