MSF5000's with "CLB" in the model number are programmed via EEPROM with the R-1801 suitcase programmer and some other stuff (the suitcase only does some of the PROMS). Those with "CXB" in their model number are programmed with the MSF RSS.
You can convert between the two by changing the controller and making a couple of jumps to supply voltage to the newer controller. To the earlier question, the C73CXB-7106BT is a RSS programmable, VHF 90-110 watt unit. It will tune the 2m ham bands.
