Does anyone know of someone who can repair the HT-200 Handie-talkies from the 60s-70s?
Thanks,

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

They were a bit of a pain to work on. They are positive ground which will have you setting fire to your test bench if you are not careful. The UHF receiver also has a walking IF which is a novel super heterodyne concept. I don't recall if the VHF was same way. I think I still have some VHF PT400's with those boards in them.
I may be overstepping, but Dan Barnett worked on a few GP300s for me. He *might* still work on HT-220s, but you'll have to ask Dan.

Great old school radios (HT-200/202's). Still have some functional ones in our corporate "radio museum"....private company that has used Motorola radios since 1962. However, all the HT-20x series gear went into a surplus dumpster a year ago (exception being the "museum" gear I kept).....had lots of spare parts that I had hoped would be donated for other users. There are some people out there that service and use these. Good luck on your search and repair work.
Thank you, everyone, for GREAT information!
