A quick question I thought I would throw out there. What does it take to be able to program this radio? I own an un-programmed XTS2500i and was curious as to what it would take to program it. It would mainly be used for monitoring purposes of the SAFET system, but I am also a reserve police officer and would like to be able to use it for transmitting to dispatch as well. I tried to get it programmed through the department's provider (ERS), but I was told that it couldn't be personally owned. The sheriff told me that the state issues the radio ID, and you can't have one as an individual. I was told that I could donate it to the department, they would program it with the departments radio "template", then it could be issued back to me. The only problem with that is if I ever decide to quit or move to another department, I would have to turn it in and lose the money I have wrapped up in it. I got what I thought was a pretty good deal. Here are the specs:
Motorola XTS2500 Astro Handheld Radio
Model 1.5 in 700/800MHz Band Split .
Model : H46UCD9PW5BN
HOST : R 07.02.00
DSP : R 07.01.01
FlashCode : 500008-000410-5
8 M Vocon
Serial No : 205CGM1xxx
I have this with a brand new IMPRES battery and charger, belt clip, and 800 mhz antenna. I have just over $500 in the whole set-up. I appreciate any input on this matter. I am obviously new to all of this, but I am learning as much as I can. Thank you.
