XTS 2500i 800 MHZ FPP

[nperuta96]

Hello,

I have an XTS 2500I 800 MHZ model 3. I bought it used off ebay, i was wondering if its possible to activate FPP on this. i know that the XTS 2500 line has been discontinued for some time. i'm not sure if they are end of life yet. but if its possible that would be great!

Thanks in advance and i l ook forward to all the replys

Does it have Federal Gov’t or FCC FPP in the flashcode? If it does, then it can be enabled in the software.

Yes but only for conventional channels.

Hope you don't need trunking.

That is the only thing it will work for. You can't program or modify radio-wide programming or anything in the trunking world with FPP.
Also if it is the FCC version you will need the side dongle to allow FPP to show as a menu selection.

thanks!

Unless it’s an old FW 9 radio, it can not have trunking, & FPP in the same radio. So if you do not need trunking, it can be flashed for FPP. However, if you need trunking, you can forget about FPP.

Not correct. Both options can exist together long after Version 9 radios.

Are you going to leave us hanging, or tell us the magic trick to accomplish this?

 

[apco25]

Use the correct flash. VHF-UHF-70/800 although you can't FPP trunking as before.

And that magic flash code would be what? Years of experience say trunking, & FPP can not exist in the same XTS radio with FW above 9. Suddenly it can?
