the bananas and tap shoes don't get used together do they?
and yes...greeting and salutations all around. i've spent entirely too long leaching off the hamsexy forums, i thought it was high time i contributed something
ok...so heres the beef...
in the CS-F70/1700 software, read data from your target radio (duh), now go the the "help" menu and select "About". this opens the window that tells you all about the software (registered owner, software code ect...).
with that window open type "reserve" (loose the quotes). there is no field to type it into, just type it.
this will pop up a window advising that you have acivated the Makers Reserve function. hit enter a couple times.
you will notice a new menu in the tree view on the left side call, as you might imagine, makers reserve.
selecting that menu gives all sorts of ways to screw up your radio, but the one you care about is all the way at the bottom labeled "Set Mode Access" or something similar. enable that.
then go to the "common" screen of the "common" menu. you will find newly expanded security settings where you once more need to enable dealer set mode access and you can also set the dealer mode password.
now write the data back to the radio. to access the dealer set mode turn on the radio while holding down the button below PTT on the side as well and the P0 button. the screen will read "dealer". enter the password you set the press P0 again. using the two buttons above PTT scroll through the info for the selected channel. pushing P3 while the zone/channel number is displayed will allow you to change the change the channel by using the 2 top side buttons or by pushing P1 you can change the zone...
the rest you gotta figure out on your own 'cause i'm sick of typing...
oh...real important...DO NOT write this data to anything but the radio you read it from. the makers reserve menu relies on data specific to the individual radio to was taken from...other wise you can brick a radio.
