ARRL to Increase Dues by $10
ARRL to Increase Dues by $10
The ARRL will increase its annual dues to $49 at the beginning of next year. The change was approved at the League's July board meeting. According to the ARRL Letter, this will be the first dues increase since 2001. CEO Dave Sumner, K1ZZ, noted that the organization had managed to hold its cost increases to 19% over the past 14 years, while inflation overall in the U.S. has been 32% in the same period. He described the dues increase as "a necessity, not an option.

Open MTS2000.exe using Hex Workshop.
Use the replace command to look for the following hex strings, and then replace them with the provided strings. Make sure you are searching for hex values.
RX Lower Limit / TX TA Lower Limit
935.0125 = 9428BB37
Change to
926.0000 = 80A33137
Replace command should report changes in two places
TX RPT Upper Limit
901.9875 = AC3CC335
Change to
903.0000 = C0AFD235
Replace command should report changes in one place
Save your work (making a backup copy when prompted is re commended), then close Hex Workshop. Open your MTS software, and confirm that you can now enter frequencies within the Ham band without the software flagging them as invalid. If you can, then you’re all set! If not, delete your existing MTS2000.exe, then rename the extension of your MTS2000.bak file that you created to .exe, then try again

how to program MCS2000 to Ham-band ?
MCS2000 CPS Hex .exe file
I am using CPS Ver R02.03.00, i have a MCS2000 110 watt VHF ," K " split M01KLN9PW6AN
I have been reading how to hex edit the .exe file in the CPS to program the radio from 146Mhz down to 136Mhz.
I haven't done hex editing for 15 years and having a difficult time trying to do it. Can someone point me in the right direction where i can find an easy explanation on how to do it.
Is there any way to program MCS2000 that operate between 450-512MHZ to the ham bands ?
If you are using CPS, you would edit the mcs2000.exe file found in the CPS folder. Make a backup first so that you can go back to the original file if you make a mistake.
The CPS hack should do a search in the .exe for the lower freq limit using intell signed you should find it. I currently dont have the time to look (maybe next week I will if you are willing to wait)
How did you modify the file? I have been looking for two days and can't find a solid answer. I want to get my VHF radio to go down to the lower end of the ham band.

MTS2000 Field Test
Assuming you have a display (model II or III)...
Just after your radio powers-up and goes through its self check, press the button just above the PTT button six times quickly. The radio will go into service mode and scan trough the info. To get out of serice mode, shut the radio off and restart. You may have to repeat this a few times to get all of the info since it goes by pretty quick!
I have to push mine like 5 or 6 times in a row while it is self testing to display the info. Keep pushing the button untill you hear a beep, then look at the display.
