Harris Unity / XG-100 wideband option

[prcguy]

Current flat rate for XG100M is $950 (unless its gone up again since April). Chances are if its just a botched FW job, this might be covered, however, if during the visit to TAC, they determine something else is not to spec and need repair/replacement, that can fall under the "multiple defect" part. My last 100M came back with a $1050 bill attached to it because of this.

With used brick prices running $250 to $400 at times I would just buy another one.

Solution found. Thanks

Can you share with me, I have a couple xg-100p and would love to have wideband opened up. The dealer around say its a big time no.
Thanks

It's not hard to get done. There are people who can do it.

Can someone point me in the right direction to get Wideband enabled on my XG-100P
I have two of the radios but one has the wideband disabled
I have the RPM Radio Maintenance and Radio Personality Manager 14C05 Software
Very much appreciated

You can contact a local Harris dealer to see if they can do it. From what I understand, some will, some wont. There is some other members on this forum who have more information then me, that can help point you in the right direction.

I don't think the Harris dealer here will do it.
Looking for someone in the group.
Thanks !!!

The only way Harris will send you a new feature string to enable wideband is if you have a very good reason to begin with and want to use it for ham will cut it nor use it for GMRS. Also the feature string that Harris sends out to turn wideband on is encrypted as well.

Be patient. A viable solution will likely present itself here. It seems someone will find a dealer and help a bunch of people, then that source will dry up just to have another spring up a month later… it’s a cycle I’ve noticed on here since I got into Harris radios. For instance, the member here who helped me last year can no longer help others due to some change in their circumstances.

Yes, you can could call a dealer and submit proof that you operate a system that requires wideband, but I have a feeling that the winds of wideband will blow here once again…

Good luck!

Any solution yet on Wideband for Harris xg-100 mobile - mine has it disabled with feature 58 - but it works in VHF but not in UHF.

Hello All,

I am also in search of help with Wideband for XG-100P.

My XG-100P arrived with Wide band enabled.
