MCS2000 "Hack"?
Hey guys, here's an interesting one for you. I took a look at a friend's MCS2000 (800MHz). Its Radio ID was programmed as "0". He didn't program it, rather he had a 2-way shop do it for him. I know the Maxtrac and GTX radios would take 700000 as a radio ID, but I've never heard of an MCS2000 being able to do that. Any idea how they would have gone about doing so? I'm guessing some kind of CPS/RSS hack would be involved, or could you just hex-edit the codeplug / S-Record?

Possibly shift key if it's RSS? I too find it odd that it would accept 0 as a valid radio ID #. Did you try it yourself yet with your own setup?
In a [somewhat] related matter....I know all of my Astro portables will accept the Modat ID as 0 (which makes it sound cooler by the way - I never could figure out why).

Naw, tried the shift key but it didn't work (no surprise). I assume the reason they'd use an ID of 0 is so the radio wouldn't be successful at affiliating, nor would it ever get inhibited (to my knowledge, there's no way to send a command to a Radio ID of "0").
