Setting up a few SAR radios for a volunteer organization they brought in some uhf model 3s and 2s donated to them for use on uhf stuff.
From what I'm aware of these were surplus from a large city couple hours away. Essentially nearly brand new hardly ever used from cache life.
The 5 were model 2s. The 3 were model 3s. One though has FPP.
In this one it says source cps and zero flash uogrades but I'm well aware that can be monkeyed with.
The radio has FPP and trunking. This is a BN at 21 firmware.
I thought these two combinations were impossible unless it was a AN at or below 9.x firmware.
Testing it out FPP does work no issues. Got ahold of a another entity and we tried their uhf trunked p25 system on it. Indeed it works fine.
How is this Frankenstein possible?
The flash of this whor3d radio is 5A1018-10178C-5
So somewhere between the life of being a cache radio and donated to a SAR entity someone's done some hocus pocus. It never has been in public Joe's hands or shouldn't have been.
The radio does have multi UCM pad and AES works fine as well.
Obviously this one is gonna be shelved for now.
Just odd as I thought the combination of FPP and Trunking was not a option or possible on BN radios without issues.
Yes it is indeed a model 3 BN. Hardware and software confirms it.
Was that feature option mix even possible I thought it wasn't?
