Hi all,
Anyone know what rev. is needed on the MT2000 for 6.25 spaced channels ? (482.01875, etc)

2.11 or later (2.13 is the last known firmware revision on the MT2000)
Annoying part is that MTSX RSS will let you enter the 6.25KHz channels on an older radio, and won't do anything until you try to write the codeplug to the radio, at which time it halts and tells you to "upgrade the radio firmware" (like that is even possible without replacing the controller itself).

Thanks !
Can see that issue being a problem, took me hours to load up my A7 wouldn't have been too pleased if the last step failed,

yep, been there done that, of course in my area not much VHF let alone narrowband (yet), so the short answer is just delete those modes and the older ones will take the codeplugs just fine. I think this is why we are seeing a ton of older non-narrowband compliant MT2K's on Ebay as many are bounced out for newer narrowband compliant radios. Since the radios lack a Flashport controller, no way to upgrade them in a cost effective manner.
