GP340 upgrade

Post by chrisryan99uk »

Hi

I have been offered a GP340 UHF, but I need more than 16 channels, is it possible to add display and keypad and re-flash it into say a GP360 or 380?
I've never played with the PRO series so I don't have a manual to
compare the units.

I don't believe that you can get any more channels out of a 340. Its the same as having a HT750 and trying to make a HT1250 out of it, its not possible that I know of, not with residing hardware/firmware.

If you get the front parts of an GP380 and have the abillity to borrow an working GP380 and have access to the firmware update tools it can be done following the instructions on BatLabs

http://www.batlabs.com/htpro.html

It´s on the bottom half

Thanks all for the replies, I was a bit concerned that maybe the GP380 wouldn have more memory than the 340 and that it wouldn't be able to hold enough channels etc.

Well here goes, I ordered a replacement front panel and case lets go for it...
