Are there any XTS3000's that are VHF/UHF units?

[C138NC]

Did motorola make any XTS3000 models that are VHF/UHF conventional?

If im right i think its XTS3000R

I may look into saving up to buy one so i can have more channels and zones to program in unless again it also requires a flashcode and other things that i dont know about.

Anyone own one by any chance? digital or not.

 

[Devilz311]

You mean dual band? No.

 

[C138NC]

well i didnt mean dual ban, i just put it together if they made both anyways like a VHF and UHF unit "not a dual bander", sorry i didnt come clear in what i meant, i just didnt want to just put down a specific one but it would of probably made more sense if i did.

I may look for one but if it requires a flashcode, i may just not get one so i may stay with what i got but having an XTS would have more for me to put in

 

[Devilz311]

All of the XTS radios are flash-upgradeable. You can use them for conventional operation

 

[C138NC]

I might see if i can get one at a fair price, i just want one so i have more zones, more channels i can program in so i wont have to deal with reprogram my 16 channels every time...

There are no such thing as any form of a Motorla XTS VHF/UHF in a single radio. No flashcode will make that happen. Stick to a scanner..

 

[C138NC]

Did anyone not read the previous posts?

Im not saying they made a daul bander, I put VHF/UHF or i would of said, Do they make a VHF or a UHF xts3000 unit, i know a flashcode cannot make it become a dual bander, im only looking for one that is VHF, just i didnt want to be specifc on just one Band.

all XTS3000's and most Motorola radios are capable of basic conventional operation, except maybe the early trunking radios such as the MTX800. Not sure what you mean about flash codes....explain what features you require. If all you want is basic conventional operation (no signaling or advanced Stat Alert, etc.) any XTS series radio will do that, just make sure it is in the desired bandsplit. "K" for VHF, "Q" or "R" for UHF low, "S" for UHF hi.

 

[ILMRadioMan]

Yes, they make the XTS series is a multitude of bands.

And as has been said, almost EVERY radio will work in conventional analog.

Anything above Conv Analog is a higher flash.

I thought you were an expert at these sort of things. I mean you reply to almost every thread on here.

There are cheaper alternatives besides an XTS3000. You are really wasting that radio by just using it in conventional analog mode. Why don't you get an HT1250? That has more silly features you could use like quick call.

 

[ILMRadioMan]

or just find an old MT/MTS series radio. You can use most of the same accesories.

 

[WayneH]

Go with something like an MTS2000 Model II/III in VHF unless you need P25. Cheap and easy to program.

taking from you i try to stop doing that, i would only answer if i knew a little then let someone else take the rest and for an Ht1250, i wish i could of been like my friend and found one in the trash can, I would definitely go for it then i would have to learn how to use CPS.

I do like the structure of the HT1250, just cant find a good one anywhere unless here if someone would want to trade one of my radios for it i guess and i can get the rest on my own.

Wayne, i could do that, if i can find one, most MTS would have like 32 channels? or was it 48? im looking into conventional and nothing LTR, dont think i need P25 at all, wonder if i could trade both my radios for one.

Apparently your friend found a good one in the trash, I don't know why you would have an issue finding a good one on eBay.

Both your radios? What do you already have?

The MTS2000 is a nice radio, I know this much, we use nothing but MTS2000 and MCS2000 (base and mobile setups) series radios for our 800 system but do you really want just that one radio? For instance, if you have a JT1000, if you really don't care to keep it, you can sell that puppy for a pretty penny and throw in a little more money and get your self a couple of nice computer programmables or one better field programmable radio.

Eh, it all depends on what you want and need.

What do you do anyway?

Having read many of your imprudent posts, I recommend you stick to a scanner before you end up doing something illegal, which you are bound to do because of your immaturity and lack of knowledge, and lose all possibilities of a career in law enforcement. And don't get an attitude with the people who actually know something about something, it's only a matter of time before no one responds to anything you post, this is radioreference.com, not ithinkiknoweverythingaboutradios.com where you probably moderate.

I have a feeling this is something long overdue, and I can guarantee that many other well-respected members here can agree with me on.

Next time, just google it, do a little reading, and save yourself from losing whatever little respect you have left on this forum.

The MTS2000 Model I (with the display on the top) has up to 48 Channels.
The Model II, and III can have 160. (or 255, but that's another story, for another post lol).
The MTS is a fantastic radio, rugged, reliable, etc. The JT, while field programmable, only has 16 channels, and can not do MDC1200, etc. Although, if you need MDC, you'll probably have to get an MT2000, as for properly flashed MTS radios that do MDC are quite rare. (Most are smartnet/analog only). Sorry for rambling on . . .

 

[WayneH]

One of the reasons I didn't recommend the HT line is I think you'll have a lot of problems getting the software to program them. The Professional Series CPS is notorious for being hard to get.

260353735260 is an example on ebay. You can get them cheaper FYI.

 

[C138NC]

Mm ill probably look into that wayne and ill probably get maybe a HT1000 or MTS2000, i can settle for 48 channels.

Why not look at a scanner? They have way more channels! My PRO-2004 holds 200 and that thing is older then you.
