Help With options chip location schematic for M7100ip VHF

Further misinformation. Harris will gladly sell feature upgrades for SUPPORTED RADIOS by going through one of their dealers. This isn't hard or difficult. Harris doesn't do business with single, one off individuals is all. SUPPORT YOUR HARRIS DEALER AND ASK THEM TO ORDER.

Your local Harris dealer MAY or MAY NOT opt to sell you upgrades. It's at their discretion, for the most part, but as I gather, requests for certain high value options may get the TAC involved with a recommendation to not sell that upgrade to an individual.

Thank you all we did get up and running no help from any dealers willing to help but found another Fire Dept that helped us out. If anyone has another M7100ip VHF prefer remote head set up we would be interested in having a spare sitting on the self so we don't end up like this last time.

Dealers can obviously choose who they do business with. Harris doesn't actually care what feature options they sell as long as obviously, sold and paid for. The feature themselves don't do much without their software allowing it which is another ball game. FYI, other than one or two BIG Harris players / contract companies, all feature requests go through TAC / Tech-Net to a specific person unless you're a big customer who can generator your own feature codes via Tech-Net. I suspect any balking is always at the dealer level unless it's something like WB enabled which Harris legal will no longer allow.

I don't really mind them doing this if they hard-code wideband enabled on services that still use wideband. They did VHF ham, marine and weather to allow wideband, even if that option is disabled, but they left out UHF ham and GMRS. I wish that their legal team would take that into account when customers have a legitimate use. I had to jump through a lot of hoops and sign documents and send copies of my license, but in the end, they refused to sell me the option. I had to get it enabled on my XG100 mobiles through other channels.
