I was shown a pic of a CP100d tag with a 278TVH11xx serial number, model AAH87YDC9JA2AN, FW ver R01.01.30.0003, S/T PMUE4526AAAAAA, but no FCc logo and no FCC ID or similar. That's an April 2019 manufacture date, right?
I did some hunting and it looks like people started talking about CP100d here and elsewhere in summer 2020. When were they first shipped? Were they made/sold outside the U.S. for some time before that (though they should have a different model prefix, right)?
Looking at the history of FCC ID AZ489FT4953 (the IDs on current production), they appear to have been approved September 4, 2019. The test docs show a radio with a 278TVH00xx serial number, model LAH87YDC9JA2AN, FW ver R01.01.40.0003, S/T PMUE4526BAALAA, with the FCC ID AZ489FT4953 and various other IDs that are LatAm related. I.e., it's a Latin America radio with a later FW version, but slightly earlier S/N sequence than the pic I saw.
AZ489FT4953 is the only FCC ID I can find for the UHF CP100d. Is it odd that the radio they tested and submitted is the LatAm version?
Anyone know about what the timeline looks like in general (and for the CP100d in particular) for new models in Motorola production? Do they do a small production run and then submit radios for testing and file for approval, and what's supposed to happen with those radios? Are these "engineering samples" allowed to escape into the wild, or are they supposed to get smashed like the other lab radios (that we've heard about escaping the crushers)?
Or is this some kind of gray-market or counterfeit thing?
