I just received an mtx8000 b3 model from a friend of mine who got it in a lot of stuff he bid on. The battery is dead but i rigged up some power to it, and here's the problem. The green light on the top flashes when I power it up, but if I put it on any other channel then 1 The radio makes a tone. It also makes the same tone if i hit the; ptt button, the emergency button, or the top green or bottom black buttons on the side. If I hit the middle black button on the side I get a higher pitched sounding tone. Does all that mean that the radio is a dud? or is it just programmed that way? could anyone shed a bit of light on this for me?

hah, yea I thought as much... hrmmm am I right in thinking theres no way to clone two b3's without mtsx right? cause finding computers old enough to handle it and the radios seem far in between...

Eh, I have an old laptop with Win95. It does well for all my programming software. Just find an old computer with Win95 or 98, and you should be fine...

ah so would my athlon 64 do the trick you think? Also to address the DOS, would a windows 98 boot disk from bootdisk.com cover that? (sorry to turn this into a help me program my mtx thread)

Ok I got MTSX up and running... however I am looking for something interesting to listen to on the radio. Am I right in thinking all I would need to do would be simply swap the codeplug on my radio, with one from a differently programmed mtx8000? or if I had physical access to the radio, simply clone the codeplug from one radio to another?
