Hi Steve,

Now that you mention it, I've heard that installing the service firmware has
caused alot of problems, so I guess I'll leave things alone though I must
admit that this runs counter to my engineering type personality!

Bob,

I'll stand corrected if wrong, but I think you have to install service
firmware  on the 2000.  You can't get it from Kenwood, only for service
techs.  It can be had from the net as a bootleg copy.

I think you have to  blow out the firmware,  install the service firmware,
make your tweaks and reinstall the  regular firmware.

Good luck, but I think you guys are playing with fire.
