Hey gang. I've seen references to a Motorola GP280 (European WARIS series). I looked at the Moto specs and it looks as though this is a radio that does Privacy Plus trunking. Does anyone know if it is possible to convert a VHF WARIS (such as an HT1250) to a GP280 so I can do VHF trunking? I've also read you need a european radio. In which case, I have a "donor" GP680 VHF that I am willing to toy with. A friend has access to this European upgrade kit that's been talked about so I am not looking for software in any manner. I just want to know if such a thing is at all possible. Good Day!

You only have to program a new codeplug with the US Lab Upgradetool into the radio,if the firmware is not too old.If you have a radio with old firmware inside, flash the radio after the codeplug change, to prevent malfunctions.

Hi Andreas, do you know if the System Key ( make your own key listed here) workaround works on those modified radios? And can you use a North American radio for the upgrade?

Yes,you can use an american radio for it.The systemkey shoud work if you use the right codeplug.Look for the Tanapa of the radiotype that match your needs.
