Programming a JT1000

[KD5NBU]

Hello all,

I just recently Purchased a UHF Motorola JT1000, and i love it! I got a very good deal on it, i got the JT1000 w/Speaker mic and rapid charger, a UHF GP300 with charger and a UHF P1225 with charger and extra batteries for all 3 radios, all for $400!!, It that kewl or what? Now i know that the JT1000 is field programmable with the keypad and a programming key attached. I managed to get ahold of the programming key, but there is a problem, i can't figure out how to program it. I know Motorola has 2 manuals that can be purchased that explains how to program the radio. What i am posting about today is that i am looking for anyone who may have some of these manuals for sale or maybe can just explain the steps to doing this. Now i am on i tight budget and am not able to spend much. So if anyone can help me out, please e-mail me with info.

Thanks & 73's, Jon

Jon: Most of what you probably need to know at this point is located at http://www.batlabs.com under "model specific information" where you will find a JT-1000 section, codeplug data, password data, etc. etc. etc.

Batlabs is the "parent" of this board.

Betchya didn't know you can jumper two pins inside and not need the programming key anymore.

If you do the jumper mod you wont be able to use a speaker mic any more. Do the codeplug mod and you wont need the silly key anymore.

That's what I did. Love it! For the original poster, just hit the right or left arrow and enter the password, then you're on your way. I think the default is "JT1000"

You need to read the radio first, then allow it to have the user program it.
then do the codeplug mod and u are off.
