Adding P25 to M7100ip

[KG5HHS]

Is it possible to add P25 to an M7100ip (Model Number: MAHG-SHHXX). If so, what would it cost?

 

[snoopyII]

Yes, (to do it by the book) the last price sheet I have dated late 2015 shows $1,100 for P25T.

There is a fella in California that can get you the string for around $200. He is an authorized Harris dealer. Don't remember his name, though.

What all is involved with doing this? I have Programmer R18 so I will be able to do my own programming but as far as getting the P25, what will be needed?

Hmm, I'm interested in finding this said fella.

I'm reasonably sure that ProGrammer 18 doesn't support P25 trunking. It may support a rudimentary implementation of it, but as I have been told by those with more experience in this matter than my own, what ProGrammer 18 allows in the way of P25 trunking programming is not sufficient to allow the radio to operate with full spec P25 systems.

If this is not true, please tell me so that I may update my own information. I have zero desire to state anything that is not true.

Elroy is correct. ProGrammer 18 does not support P25T. You need R19 at the very minimum.

Are you talking about this?

That requires that you already have P25T in the string. This solely for the feature 47 upgrade. Which by the way, the 7100's do not support TDMA

Here is his cost for upgrading to P25T:

Sorry guys, I should have clarified. This radio will be used as a "Base" radio in my home to monitor my local sheriff's department. I only need P25 Conventional. No trunking.

Minimum Revision of Radio Programer to support P-25-T

Elroy is correct. ProGrammer 18 does not support P25T. You need R19 at the very minimum.

In Radio Programmer, R17a03 was the first revision to support P-25 Trunking (Phase-1), and did NOT require a license key to install. This software application was only given to a couple of M/A-Com customers (York County, Pennsylvania, etc.) to get them going on their brand-new P-25 Trunk systems.


The first "official" public release of Programmer software to support P-25 Trunking was R19a06, and did require a license key for installation.

========

The following revisions of Radio Programmer before being replaced with Radio Program Manager (RPM) were:


R17A03...EXCEPTION RELEASE with P-25 Trunk Support

R17A05...No P-25 Trunk support

R18B02...No P-25 Trunk support

R19A06...First public release with P-25 Trunk Support, and required License Key

R20A10...Final M/A-Com labeled version.

R20B01...Special version for the US Navy, which did not require a license key to install.

R20C05....Final version, only change from R20a10 is the 'branding' logo was changed from M/A-Com to Harris.


I hope this helps...
