How many channels hold Motorola MT2100?

Hi all!

How many channels hold Motorola MT2100 Model I?

I have spent hour for searches in Google, but have found the information only about Model III (aka B7/C7).

if it has a channel switch without a stop it can hold 250 channels.
this whas when i programmed with wookie,

i dont know how manny channels it takes with the official dos rss.

All MT2100 are capable of 250 channels. Wookie or regular Skywalker RSS doesn`t matter. A continous rotary radio is very nice to have. I allows to use all 250 channels also on top-display radios without keypad. You are no more limited to 16 channels each zone, but 3 Zones are the maximum (switchable via 3-position toggle switch).

Thank you, Keygun.

But what will be if MT2100 flashed from MTS2000 Model I? It will not have continous rotary

[Keygun]

It is also no big deal. Replace the channel switch or (more simple) the whole control-flex/screen-assembly with one from a continous rotary radio (a scrap GP1200 is an ideal donation radio, because all of them have a continous rotary), change the modelnumber via Wookie and reprogramm the radio. It should work then. In the worst case you have to run the upgradetool again, but if i remember correct, this is only neccessary, if you are turning a top-display radio into an full-keypad model and vice versa.

You are not limited to 16 channels each zone!
You can use up to 250 channels in one zone.
You are limited to 16 zones.
