Some General Notes:

1. When ordering F7010 or F7020 model portables, you must specific the requested antenna option for the required operating frequency range, no antenna is included by default except for the F7040 700/800 MHz models.
2. To utilize Radio Discovery Tools (RDT), a properly formatted microSD card is required and the radio must be configured with the appropriate settings through programming.
3. Trunking enabled radios can be programmed without requiring an ASK in order to make conventional and configuration changes; however, you will not be able to add/modify ANY trunking parameters without an "authorized ASK for the associated trunking system".
4. The IASKF7S Accessory Advanced System Key (AASK) for trunking operation can be purchased by anyone; however, they are non-provisioned (unprogrammed) and authorized programmers are required to have the ASK programmed and authorized by the trunking system owner/authorized administrators. (Note: this requires the trunking system owner/authorized administrators to have secured the required IASKF7P (SOMK) first, through the approved processes.)
5. For Phase 2 trunking support, the ISL-P25TR Phase 1 licenses is required.
6. For Over-the-Air GPS and Android Tactical Awareness Kit (ATAK) support, the ISL-P25DS licenses is required.

These radio's are an excellent cost effective solution. A lot of bang for your buck.

 

[Skypilot007]

Can the general public purchase these from a dealer? Are these capable of non-affiliate trunk scan? Inquiring minds want to know!

 

[W2GLD]

They are available through dealers but they will not do “non-affiliated“ operation. An “authorized Advanced System Key” is required for all trunking programming, including the ability to simply view the radios trunking parameters. These radio are capable of RX Only talkgroups, but are still required to affiliate on the system. These are not scanners for the general public, several safe guards have been put into place to prevent that operation in order to protect the trunking systems integrity.
