Difference between XTS1500 and XTS2500?

[K2NEC]

Is there a significant difference between an XTS1500 M1.5 and an XTS2500 M1.5? Or an XTS1500 M1 and an XTS2500 M1?

Hello.

The XTS 1500 M1 is the analog-only version of the XTS 2500 M1.

Where with the XTS 2500 you can have P25, and things along those lines(along with a couple of other things).

Scratch that, I am thinking of the analog-only version of the XTS 1500.

The differences are the front of the housings, and fewer options available. Practically the budget option.

Yea I know it can haha I programmed a 1500 for a friend and it had P25 from the factory

You are thinking of the MT1500

 

[kjl13]

Yea, possibly. A PD near us switched from some analog only radio(I forget the model number), But the one I am thinking of isn't the MT. And it is not the PM 1500 because that is mobile.

But that's beside the point.


So, did that answer your question?

They are more or less the same radios for the Model 1 (no display) and Model 1.5 (display). The XTS 2500 has a few more features, such as:

Channel Announcement
Surveillance Mode
Secure Capability
Trunked Data

I dont think there is much of a difference, except that the 2500 has 96 personalities(channels) and the 1500 has only 48.

EDIT:
This is motorolas comparison of them, the last two radios on the first page.

Hmm, yeah it does appear that the 1500 is capable of some of the stuff I listed previously. Encryption is Software ADP only.

It is features and the way the front of the case.
