Ht1000

[bezking]

I want to buy an HT1000 on eBay and have some programming questions:

1. Is this scenario possible on the HT1000?:
Green button: Repeater\Talkaround
Black Button: Squelch Hi\Low
Black Button: Scan On Off
Red Button (top): Monitor
2. What can the ABC switch be set for?
3. Is the HT1000 RSS still sold?
Thanks.

Nope. The HT1000 RSS has a pre-programmed list of how the side buttons, toggle and emergency button are utilized. You pick from a list of possible configurations...they are not user selectable. You would need an MT2000 or MTS2000 before you have control over those settings. There is no user selectable squelch, that is programmed in the RSS. There is a "monitor" button that will open the squelch while depressed though.

As for RSS still being sold, I doubt it but someone with MOL access could confirm that.

In your hunt for an HT1000, be sure to get a "D" revision...they are the newest and generally have fewer age-related problems. They are great radios and I've owned several.

So with the MT2000 I can do that?

yes Motorola does still sell the software. It is $265+tax+shipping. The part# is RVN4098H. On MOL it says it takes a 20 day lead time.



You are better off getting an MTS-2000, more channels and can be programmed with CPS. As well as many other features

The CPS for an MTS-2000 is $279+tax+shipping and is available to download once you purchase it.

hope that helps

Josh:

YES! It did help and I have changed my mind. I am going for the MTS2000 and have just registered for MOL.

Just curious I am still using verision 6.00.00 and wanting to by the new software for the MTS2000, does that software that is downloadable work on windows, also does it require a different cable or still rib plus same cable used on DOS.
