NOTE: When the radio is in the RF MODEM mode, it will do a self test and then the screen will go blank. You can put the radio into RF modem mode from the F4-F4-F4 (Trunking Config). Most MTS2000/MTX8000's only have a 256k controller, which will not work. Firmware version has to be above 5.44 (which has a 512k controller in it). You can run system watch using a MTS2000 handheld. However, you can clone a Type II code plug into a B3 radio and it will work just fine.
There were a few B3's that were Type II produced by Motorola. If it is an MTX8000 and has a front mounted display with either a 6 button or full keypad, you have a radio that will do Type II. If you are (un)lucky enough you might find an F3 modem that does Type II. You can view this bulletinīoth the MTX8000 B5 & B7 models are Type II Trunking. Have a look at the MTSX series model breakdownĪ manual supplement has been released for the MT2000/MTS2000/MTX838 with a newĪlignment procedure for the front end pre-selector.
