Anyone ever try programming an EDACS S825 (combo # actually sez it's an S850) with the conventional S825 software???

Wanting to test out a couple of LB Rangrs & I don't have any other heads like an S550/950/990

Any suggestions???

I don't think it will work. Different firmware.

I would be interested in trading you a conventional (S825 or S830) head for an S840 or S850 (edacs) head as a straight even trade.

I've also been told that using a conventional head on an edacs radio (or vice versa) may damage either or both units.

The Edacs head if used on a conventional radio will screw the eprom up so I wouldnt suggest using it.
