 The Tait T2000 series are an older generation of "PMR" radios that have become popular with Amateurs due to their availability, reasonable pricing and models available for the 70cms, 2m and 4m bands (Note they're single band only). The Tait T2000 series are an older generation of "PMR" radios that have become popular with Amateurs due to their availability, reasonable pricing and models available for the 70cms, 2m and 4m bands (Note they're single band only).

 Some of the radios will come with a mounting bracket. In theory these require a security key to remove the radio body from the bracket. In practise, some are loose and just slip out, with the brack sliding over the //back// of the radio. Some of the radios will come with a mounting bracket.

 If yours is more stubborn you will need to insert the security key or similarly shaped object into the hole in the left hand side of the control head near the volume control, which will release a tab and allow you to remove the radio body from the bracket. If yours is more stubborn you will need to insert the security key or similarly shaped object into the hole in the left hand side of the control head near the volume control, which will release a tab and allow you to remove the radio body from the bracket.

-These were found in a pair of radios purchased from a radio rally. There was no indication on the outside of the radio these boards had been fitted. The boards appear to operate as data modemspossibly 9600 baud GMSK. Note this isn't compatible with G3RUH'9600 baud specification. +These were found in a pair of radios purchased from a radio rally. There was no indication on the outside of the radio these boards had been fitted, and it'not clear what functions the options board provides. It's a busy board and no schematic or documentation has been found at present, and the presence of the TCXO circuitry usually found on a separate module makes it difficult to just remove the options board without somehow providing the missing TCXO function.

 Almost all the pins on the 15 pin DE-15 connector are connected to the rest of the circuit with small SMD resistors, so some scope exists to remove them and insert "bodge wires" to bridge out the rest of the circuit but this is so far untested. Almost all the pins on the 15 pin DE-15 connector are connected to the rest of the circuit with small SMD resistors, so some scope exists to remove them and insert "bodge wires" to bridge out the rest of the circuit but this is so far untested.
