[Motorola] HT-220 and MT-500 manuals?

[KBØNLY]

How about going with an upgrade?  I have seen a few HT-220's with dip 
switches in the back like the one described here..

If not I would suggest selling them off and getting some cheap programmable 
radios, HT600, MT1000, Saber is becoming plentiful as well.
