tossed XP SP3 on there.. installed the MTS software and wallah.. smooth as silk. I can read.. write.. all that now.. no probs.
Yep, using the supporting operating system makes all the difference in the world. 2008 is calling and wants their CPS back!
Since I have waited this long.. the stuff I want to listen to, has switched to digital.. so I have these 4 MTS2000's (800mhz) that are now worthless to me. Time to put these, and the cable, up for auction.. oh well.. it was fun while it lasted.
Tis the case everywhere. The MTS2000, while a great platform, is over 20 years old today. The Jedi product line made it's debut during the 1st Clinton administration. Manufacturing ended in late 2005, early 2006. The systems these radios were designed to operate on have been EOL'ed by their maker. While thousands are still in service, many more are being dumped onto the used market.
If your 800MHz MTS2000's have good displays, they are more valuable in parts than in whole. Working MTS2000s on VHF/UHF with good displays are becoming rare, but the VHF/UHF ones are still worth more as they can be used on analog conventional systems- while they are still around. The front display/keypad boards are interchangeable with among all the Jedi radios (MTS2000/MT2000/MTX8000/9000 and JT1000)
Good luck with your auctions.
