Nice find r0f. I'd hazard a guess and say that firmware .xx is just a port from the XTS2k5/5k line which is why theres so many similarities :)
Good to see you online again ;)

There are actually 5 lines on the display...and all of them get used at one point or another in r0f's photos....K8TEK wrote:Finally utilizing all 3 lines on the display.
I will have to go home and check the 3k's at home and see what they do.

"In theory..."
If a guy had access to all the right tools would it be possible to put a larger memory chip in a 3K and expand it to 8 megs or whatever? Would it even be able to address the extra memory?
Reading this thread made me curious about that.
I wish I had the intellect to write my own code. Wouldn't it be the absolute shit to be able to write your own firmware?!

No. The address lines for larger ICs aren't present as far as I can see in my AS3.mancow wrote:"In theory..."

Besides, you wouldn't be able to get a firmware image that could make use of that extra space, unless you wrote your own.
It'd be damn cool, but very hard on ASTRO radios. They contain a fair few custom ICs that aren't openly documented.mancow wrote:I wish I had the intellect to write my own code. Wouldn't it be the absolute shit to be able to write your own firmware?!
