Instructions for modifying a CDM1250 to 222MHz - From W5TXR.net Thanks Mark!!

This lays out the basic steps for changing band edge information in a WARIS radio. Useful information for other haX0ring inside these WARIS units.

HT750/1250/1550

Converting HT750 Lowband 35-50MHZ to 6M

Huge thanks to Bryan W9CR for publishing all his amazing work in diving into these radios. Most of this information is a mimeograph of his work.

Project Beginnings

I was given (thanks AF4AY) a HT750 Lowband R2 (35-50MHz/PMUB1026A/AAH25CEC9AA3AN) that had a corrupt codeplug and would not read or write with CPS. I also had a HT1250 Lowband R2 (from eBay) that was purchased as a parts unit and probably has a bad AT49LV001 flash IC and wasn't worth the trouble repairing. I used the functional HT750 board and the HT1250 limited keypad and display housing to make a good unit that only had a EEPROM CS ERROR problem. Easy fix!!
I played around with several TANAPAs and found PMUB1023A (xxH25CEH9AA6xx) to be what I wanted and used US Waris CodeplugTool to blast from 0x000h-0x2FFh into the target Franken-Radio. I now had a functional HT1250 Limited Keypad Lowband Radio!! The problem is, NCSHP is no longer on 42MHz and I have no other use for radios in this frequency range. Time to make this radio useful again!!

Moving up the street 5MHz

Following W9CR's fantastic wiki site and YouTube videos on the Waris Radios, I was able to dig into the new Franken-Radio to fiddle with the band limits, tuning piers and features to make this radio identify as a ham radio. INSERT HEX VALUE TABLE HERE SOMEWHERE... This moved the radio up 5000kc to now believe it was born as a 40-55MHz radio and be able to hold tuning values within that range. It reads and writes from stock CPS as if Mother M made it this way.

Settle Down Nelly

The alignment was horrendous at this new range and I probably should have read the alignment block before starting this venture but I have access to a service monitor and can get this thing back in the ballpark so I'm not too worried. It has about 8kc of deviation at normal speech levels so that is my first order of business. Also this is a ham radio and not going to be used by the USSS so I really don't care if it is a little wack. Hey at least it isn't a Baowank.
