Smile MTS 2000 Question!

Just wondering if this Ebay ad makes sense to you guys. Can an MTS 2000 which has been flashed for trunking still be programmed for analog usage?

That'll work fine for conventional operation. I think you've got the wrong idea on idea about trunking. Trunking ≠ digital. The MTS2000 is analog only- be it trunked or conventional. You'll be good to go with that radio.

Mike, thanks a million! I've been looking at the MTS2000, XTS2500, and the XTS3000. It gets pretty confusing after a while. LOL....

If a radio is flashed for trunking it can still do conventional operation.
