Many of the local gov’t agencies are leaving their analog 800 systems, & going to P25 700/800 systems. While I’ve used MTS2000’s, & XTS3000’s to listen to them for years, they wont work soon. The new Motorola radios must affiliate with the system, although there is a way to trick the radios to not affiliate. While I’m not comfortsble with that, I’m told Harris rsdios can turn off auto affiliate in the CPS. The problem is all the 7200’s I see for sale are old Edacs, or Open Sky radios, not P25. The option code needed when the options are displayed is 39. None seem to have that. When an option upgrade is needed for a Motorola, it just means sending the radio somewhere, & the radio comes back with the required features. But from what i hear, it’s not that easy for a Harris rafio. Or is it? I have no interest in a scanner, as they seem to have weak receive audio, snd a poor front end. Anyone have any tips to get a Harris radio to do what i need. Please, no radio police, & no mention of the word scanner.
