General Information
All of these radios belong to the same family and are covered under the same service manual, hence, most of the information should be common to all models.
BEWARE: Take note of the following we received, "It seems after attempting to write the codeplug of a NEW MCS2000, I got a fail message on the screen. It corrupted the codeplug and this brand new radio had to be sent back to the big M. I talked to the local Motorola dealer and they said that programming these radios with older RSS than they had last been programmed with would indeed corrupt the codeplug".
Are you having a problem with the control heads on your MCS2000? There is a bulletin out the 5 volt regulator is falling off of the board in the radio (not the head). It should be U500 and its next to the audio IC. Where the metal fingers clamp down the board you need to reflow the solder to this regulator if it has not already come undone. Also, cut the middle finger off the metal clamp that presses down on it. This clamp puts to much pressure on the solder joint. The common failure is the 01/90 fail code or the radio is just plain dead. It has been rectified on the later models after 1999.
