Upgrading a Motorola APX 6000/7000/8000 Model 1.5 to a Model 2.5 or 3.5
You will need a T-8 Torx screwdriver. I do NOT recommend using a drill because the screws strip very easy.
You will also need the Housing and the Display/Keypad Assembly Board. For the APX7000, you will additionally need a Dual Display VOCON Board.
Here are the model numbers and prices
