HT-1250LS question

[AK4FD]

Good day all,

A few days ago I purchased an HT-1250LS UHF handheld, was excited to get it, hooked it up to CPS & much to my dismay discovered that it doesn't do MDC-1200 (which I rely on heavily for Radio ID's and repeater functions & such...), it will do MDC-1200 in LTR Trunking mode but not Conventional (THAT makes zero sense to me whatsoever!), SO, my question is... Is there ANY way to get MDC-1200 working in this radio without having to sell it & deal with the headache of getting a new one? Is there some sorta Hex Edit in CPS that will enable the MDC Signaling drop-down menu for Conventional Personalities, or some sorta mod I can do? If the radio does MDC for Trunking it means it has the capability so I would think there is a way to do it in Conventional mode... I would appreciate any comments/suggestions, and thank you in advance!

The LS is a limited version with mdc. Check pm.

You need to have it re-flashed to another model number that supports MDC. I suggest the 160 conventiaonl with LS trunking. Just remember to save tuning info first.
