Good Deal for an XTS5000r?

[operator5290]

Need help from fellow radio reference members!

I found a listing for a...

XTS5000R Model 3
VHF 146-178 mHz
Flashcode: 100001-000102-4

Includes a Impres Battery + Charger, along with a Motorola Speaker Mic, and a Surveillance earphone

For $700

The flashcode fits my needs. Is this a good deal?

As long as its in a decent condition, yes.

100001-000102-4

Q806/G806 IMBE / APCO-25 Digital Operation
H35/G48 Conventional Operation
Q471 (MCS only) messaging (MDC on trunking)
1B2 Future System Enhancement

For that price, I think you STOLE it ! LOL
Ya, that's a really good price. Most of the XTS5000's I've seen have been at LEAST $1,000 and up.

Better flashcode decode:
Q806 ASTRO Digital Operation
H35 Conventional Systems Operation
Q53 FCC FPP And Radio Cloning
Q446 Channel Announcement

ETA: removed incorrect info. See below.

Yes, it's CPS 10+ that will kill off the FPP without both options enabled. Or so I'm told.

If you have Q52 without Q53, and you program it with CPS R10 and above, FPP will go away. Since the flashcode that is posted only has Q53, then it will be fine using any version CPS as long as the PMTN4113A side port programming key is used.

 

[operator5290]

So if I use version 12.0, theoretically, I won't lose my FPP capabilities, but I will need a side port programming key?

 

[mfire39]

That is correct. When a radio has Q53 only FPP, you'll need the side programming key just like the old JT1000's.. But yes, you can use current R12.01.00 CPS with it.

Q52 only = No key needed, but you have to stick with R09.xx.xx and under CPS
Q53 only = Programming key needed, and you can use current CPS
Q52+Q53 = No key needed, and you can use current CPS

Hope that helps...

 

[operator5290]

it helps plenty. by the way how hard are those programming keys to get?

 

[mfire39]

Not hard at all to get. Any local Motorola shop with an MOL account can order one for you.. Or, if you set up an online account with Moto, you can order one youself..
