I apologize ahead of time. No can of worms to be opened, I know.........

Yes.....there was an ehaustive thread on this topic already, but it was locked down.

Just looking for a YES/NO answers (if possible)

If I have the dual brick cable (one yellow and one red DB-25.....as in post #12 of the big thread) and the 'special' W3 HHCH (as pictured in post #53 of same) and the proper flash, then I can make a dual radio setup?

Basically....there was mention of a possible SP part/mod in that same thread. I did not read if we definitively knew or heard the answer.

Was / is there a special TIB or ?? also needed?

Standard W3 XTL TIBs and a normal W3 HHCH is used. The magic is in the cable and the flash option in the radios.

You can't order the flash from M (it's supposedly not field-upgradeable) but if you have a codeplug archive with the feature already enabled and That Which Shall Not Be Named you can push it into a stock radio and it'll work.

If only we could discover the secret to the magic cable... Not to mention, the flash.
