I hope you are not trying to add the Palmetto 800 system into your radio without permission and with an unauthorized system key.
That would be a big no-no and could land you in a lot of trouble. Palmetto 800 radio techs & admin keep a close eye on radios trying to
affiliate with the system.

I am in need of a firmware update on my XTL 5000. Does anyone know or can any direct me as to where I can get the latest firmware?

I am new to these radios and are trying to self teach myself. I’m mainly trying to set it up as NAS

I don't want to jump on and be the "NAS Police," but if you are "new to these radios," NAS is the LAST thing you should be doing. If you get one small setting wrong, you will attempt to affiliate to the system. At the least, you will likely end up with the radio inhibited or could end up with a visit from a friendly field agent from the FCC, or with computer hacking charges. On the worst end, you could cause a legit user's radio to become not affiliated and miss traffic, or the system not accept their traffic.

If you want to listen, get a scanner. If you want to NAS, you have a long road ahead if you are new to the radios, if you want to do it safely and avoid a visit from nice folks with badges.

The radios are discontinued and firmware updates are no longer available.

I'll echo what someone else has said: if you're new at this, programming these radios (especially for NAS) is something you should not be trying. Get a scanner instead.
