Mr. Wong is charging $40 per "zone" (I don't know much about these "zones") which he told me is 16 channels. Does anyone know if the price is fair? That's like $400 to program the whole radio, yikes!

I'd say that's a bit much. I'd do it for free but I don't have the RSS anymore

 

[emcomm]

I can by the RSS for $400!

Thanks for the kind offer!

you can probably get a cheap old computer to run DOS for $400 to. Thats crazy

Local shop here in IN charges $40 to program a radio, no matter if it's mobile or handheld. That's $40 flat rate, doesn't matter how many channels or zones. Think of zones like banks. Bank 1 holds 16 channels, bank 2 can hold 16 more channels, etc... Kind of like on a car stereo where you have FM1 and FM2.

My department actually ended up just buying the software and cables to program all of our radios ourselves, figuring we would spend $1000 easily in the next two years reprogramming new and used radios for switch channels that are no longer used and for narrowbanding.

FYI, this was about a MT2000 - which I never could program myself, I am now selling it, replaced it with a Saber II which I can program myself. I will never buy a radio again I can't program myself


happy new year!
