Dumb Question..............

Post by WK9F »

Hello,

I suspect I already know the answer to this question, but I figured I'd ask it anyway. I mistakenly bought an Astro A9 head today thinking it was a HCN1073 (non-astro spectra). :oops: As you have probably guessed, it didn't work. Is there a way I can make it work? In the event I can't make it work, is there anybody that would like to trade an almost new looking Astro A9 head for a 1073 in similar condition?

Thanks,

Jerry

PM me.. I have an A9 head and need a W9. There is a way to go A9 to W9, but I don't know about going the other way

All you need to do is change the firmware chip in the head. I have several factory A9 firmware chips if interested.
