Good afternoon! I picked up a PRO 2030 at a hamfest this morning, and I am not sure about it. The date code is 7A4. I opened it up to try to do the cell mod, even though there is NO analog cell left in NJ. I do the mods to keep my skills sharp and just to know that I can still do it. The D 201 jumper was missing already, and cell was still blocked. I have heard of the newer models having it removed so people can't modify them. However, there are 2 clean holes where the jumper would be. This particular radio I got today seems to be deaf on 800 MHz. I cannot get the NJSP Control channel (1 mile away) or Berkeley (1 town south) on 800. All other bands work fine. Is it possible to have the 800 portion burnt out, or did someone try to mod it before me and ruin it? Also there is no keypad beep. Is this a characteristic of this model, or is there a way to re-enable it.
