XTS2500 on Harris P25?
Can the Xts2500 be programmed to work on a Harris P25 VHF digital system?
Getting the radio activated on the system would be no problem. I like the XTS more than the P5400 Harris radios.
Perhaps this should be in the Harris forum?

I don't see why it wouldn't

My understanding of it is as long as you have the right flash in the radio (for 9600 P25 trunking) and it's on the right band, you should be able to make an M radio hook up with any P25 system.

in Astro 25 CPS, uncheck the "enable Astro 25 proprietary features" box. As others said, radio must be flashed for 9600 baud trunking for it to work on any 9600 baud system.

So it must have this
Code:
Q361 ASTRO 25 9600 Baud Trunking
in the flashcode somewhere.
Where can you get these customized to your liking? A local(expensive) moto dealer?

Yup, or unless you know some one who has the capabilities.

Of course I don't. The only people around here that I know do it charge $900 for a brand new in box Ht750 programmed...

I know this is one of those "No tag" radios, so I dont need a sermon on the obvious negative points about the radio.
I have a cable and the CPS (i think) to program these anyway. All i would need is the Impres charger and battery, and an antenna.
The flash code looks good, and has what I would need for this system. I just cant beat this price, and I would have the Harris radio as backup if needed.
Any opinions?

The right CPS for this radio is Astro25.
You'll need a system key (I think - I haven't done any programming of radios onto a true P25 system, I would imagine so) and thus the express permission of the system operator(s).

I have Astro 25 Portable CPS R14 i beleive.
And the system key is no problem, especially since its only county wide

The system key is a piece of software (or sometimes a piece of hardware you plug into the PC while you are programming) that is generally very restricted in nature. Only the operators/managers of a system should have access to the system key.

An issue you might run into is if the system programmers do not have a Motorola compatable system key. If they do not already have motorolas on the network, there is a good chance they will be unable to program it. They will have to order a key from Motorola prior to programming your radio.

NCFire11,
Did you ever get your radio working on a Harris system. Our county is going P25 trunked on a Harris P25 system. Myself along with the sys admin and Harris techs have had a terrible time trying to get my Moto radios working on the Harris system. We've got as far as affiliating with the system but having problems with the radio switching to the working channel once assigned by the controller.
Thanks,
