MCS 2000 Help

Post by Astrocom »

I picked up an MCS 2000 Mod III 12 W radio that I plan to put on the local 900 mhz repeater.
Is there any trick to get the thing to program into the 902/927 range ?
I tried the latest ver of CPS with no luck.

Thanks,
Tom

The band limits have to be changed with your favorite Hex program. I'm not sure if anybody has done it with CPS I do know its do-able with RSS

I hacked CPS R01.05.00, I looked you the band limits from a post by PETNRDX http://batboard.batlabs.com/viewtopic.php?t=13729 (thanks)

and it worked nice I am now able to enter anything from 902 to 928 in the CPS screens and save the file, I have not as of yet programed the radio as i only hacked the MCS2000 exe as of last nite and was up late... I will be doing that over the weekend
