SysKey, CodePulg, IButton

[Bccook216]

I have a XTL5000 and I'm looking for someone who has the necessary tools to help me upgrade the radio. My Flash now is so minimal that i can't do anything really. I have no Trunking keys or Ibuttons, I have the cable and can read the radio just fine, just can't program the radio to what i need it to do. I know the laws on using the radio for personal use and not to do anything stupid (i.e. talking on a police frequency). If anyone can help. please let me know. Radio Specs below.

Flashcode 500008-000480-0
Package: G51 SMARTzone
Model M20URS9PW1AN
Serial 500CGR0600
codepulg 0024
firmware r20.50.09
DSP R19.50.01
Tuning R01.08.02
PSDT R04.00.00
Bootloader R07.00.00
Nauikus R06.00.00

Ibuttons are NLA from Motorola for flash upgrades. Sell the radio and get a scanner.

I work in the security industry, a scanner is just not good enough.

What are you trying to program in that the radio won't let you? Besides being a frequency range that that is pretty useless outside of public safety I don't see any issues with the flashcode that would prevent you from being able to program it. If you're trying to program in a trunk system you don't have authorization for that has nothing to do with the radio or it's features. You have trunking available in the flashcode so talk to the system admin of the system you need and you can have them authorize your radio on their system. If you're not supposed to be on their system and you were able to program it in your radio will become a very fancy paperweight very quickly...

...you wanna sell it?

 

[Bccook216]

...you wanna sell it?

Let me think........ No. I'll get it to work eventually. If I gotta make my own syskey and codeplugs I will. Just seeing if someone is willing to help.

Just trying to get Local PD and State PD on listen only. Pretty much scanner. I have frequency's programed but not hearing anything. Don't know if is a Trunking problem or what. Can't flash the radio because of no syskeys, no Flashcodes found or Ibuttons found.

Just because you work security doesnt mean you need a public safety radio.

"good enough" for what?

You can't add this radio to someone else's trunking system. That's not legal on many levels. If you want access to a trunked system, the only way to do that is work through the system administrator. The system admin is the only one who can legally give you a system key.

If you want to just listen to a trunked system, then really, get a scanner. Setting up non-affiliate scan takes a lot of knowledge and screwing it up will get your radio bricked, and maybe a visit from the FCC with a side of hefty fines: https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-389269A1.pdf

If you want to listen in on a conventional system, then you don't need a system key. Radio will need to be the correct band and programmed correctly. Also, please remember, that even as an employee of a company, you cannot add radios to their system. That has to be approved by the licensee, and that is well documented by the FCC.

Many people will be happy to help you out, but you'd have to tell us exactly what it is you are attempting to accomplish here.

I got my answer from someone. I was informed that my local PD went encrypted or phase II and won't be able to listen in. I would be happy to take the mic and throw it away. All im trying to do is listen in. I got the radio cheap and thought it would work. Ive worked with ham, first Motorola I've owned. Just trying to get educated. And F the FCC, they can kiss it. If they wanna come after one person using a frequency just to listen on, they know where I live.

And with that we're done. Closing.
