MT(S)2000 Limited Keypad to Full Keypad
Can the keypads on a MT(S) be swapped just like a HT1250 ? I know the keypad can be added to a HT1000 and the code plug edited to turn the keypad one. I'd like to know you can swap over to a limited to a full keypad and vice versa... If so does the code plugs need to be swapped also ?
If the radio is a MTS2000, it will have "toolproof" firmware if it is over rev 5.42. That will not let you use any lab/depot RSS with the codeplug. I may be incorrect, but I don’t think that you can use an external editor (using a hex editor on the codeplug) ether without activating the toolproof. Check on the Batlab site for more info.
If it is a MT2000, or older firmware on a MTS, then you are good to go. Just get the correct codeplug for you needs, and program it in with the correct level of RSS. You may need to retune the radio if you use another radio's codeplug. Check and record your tuning values before you start. It's also a very good idea to save an s-record as described on Batlabs.
Have fun,
Jim.
