    Orange light top of APX 6000

    I have an APX 6000 handheld that I use with analog frequencies. I notice that the orange LED on top of the radio is on even when there is no radio traffic (at least the squelch is not broken). What causes the orange LED to be lit?

    APX 6000 vs 4000

    Hey all, I recently upgraded my XTS 1500 for a VHF APX 6000 for use at work in rural EMS. I know a lot of people in my area use the APX 4000 and I don’t really know the major differences between the two..? To my knowledge the APX 6000 was discontinued but the 4000 is still being made, is one...

    Hello all. This is my first post after lurking for a long while. I currently use an SRX2200 AN Model 1.5 radio and recently it was dropped from a fair height directly onto the volume knob. The result was the knob and the connector to the knob (including the spanner) was disconnected from the...

    Is the XG-100 reliable? Why so much less than APX 8000?

    I currently own a Motorola APX 6000 VHF that I use daily and I am very happy with. However, in my quest for an all band portable I cannot even approach the price of an APX 8000 ($4,200+). The Harrison XG-100P can be found for around $1,000 and covers the same bands as the APX 8000 and supports...

    Zones with more than 16 channels on the APX series

    How do people typically handle zones where there are more than 16 channels? Since the channel selector on the APX series does not rotate 360° like the XPR series it would seem that the from panel must be used to select channels beyond #16. Do you just make sure all your zones have 16 channels or...

    APX6000 and two position toggle - Why the change from XTS?

    What happened to the two-position toggle on the APX6000? It is quite hard to switch back and forth as compared to the XTS5000. The knob is rather recessed while the XTS was prominent and was easy to switch.

    I have an APX6000 with FPP. When I choose the FPP menu option > Enter OK for the password > ZN/CH Param nothing happens. The soft key "Sel" just highlights and that is it. Do I need to do something in CPS to enable the FPP functionality before being able to use the FPP option? I am able to...

    Does the APX6000/8000 require a hardware dongle for FPP

    Hello, Does the APX6000 or APX8000 require a hardware dongle in order to use Front Pad Programming (FPP)? I have an XTS5000 that does not require a dongle for FPP and I am wondering how the APX series is different.

    APX APX series and Bluetooth/WiFi

    I have seen some videos on Youtube that demonstrated using Bluetooth to program an XPR7550e via CPS. My question is if Bluetooth on the XPR series works the same, allowing a connection to CPS software using Bluetooth. Does the same work for WiFi? Is that what the WiFi option on the APX series is...
