My Motorola XTS5000

[landcruzed]

Ok guys, so I picked up a awesome 5000XTS. I'm working on it getting programed but I want to make sure i have one great radio. The specs follow:

Motorola XTS5000
Host version: R16.00.02
DPS version:R16.00.02
Model Number: H18UCH9PW7AN
Flashport: 50000040000023
8 Megs
Flash code:589088-80068-3-4
RF band: 700/800
Tuning Ver:R01.08.05
Proc Ver: BRAVO0122

It appears that I have:
Q806 ASTRO IMBE Digital Operation
H14 Enhanced Digital ID Display
Q498 Hardware Multikey Encryption w/ OTAR
H43 Trunked Remote Monitor/Radio Trace
H46 Trunked One Touch Status Message
G996 Over the Air Provisioning
H38 SmartZone Systems Operation
H345 ASTRO 25 Trunking Radio Authentication
Q387 Conventional Voting Scan
Q173 SmartZone Omnilink MultiZone Operation
Q361 ASTRO 25 9600 Baud Trunking
Q445 Fireground Accountability Software
Q446 Fireground Voice/Channel Announcement

Is this a nicely equipped radio? Further, can one increase the channel capability of a radio by increasing the megs of memory? How would i determine the channel count on this radio?

Hmm... These two statements contradict each other, Flashport code and Flashcode are the same thing. Which one is the correct one?

Flashport: 50000040000023
Flash code:589088-80068-3-4

The channel count is determined by the firmware version, and the only way to increase it is if Motorola increases it in a future firmware upgrade. R16 firmware gets you 1000 modes (channels).

Ben,

More than likely, he's reading one FC from the label (the original) and the other from the display (the reflash).

I pulled the Flashplug number off the back of the radio. I pulled the flashcode off the radio in service mode.

Looks like you nailed it, Tom

The one displayed by the radio in service mode is correct. The flashcode printed on the label is superseded by the software upgrade - it no longer applies.

Landcruzed:

A flashcode has only 13 numbers and letters. Your list has 14.
The format is like this:

000000-000000-0

If you turn your radio on and press the bottom button on the side three times it will go into service mode and tell you firmware version and the flash code that is actually in the radio. Also check if it says anything about a UCM if not ADP Encryption would be a cool flash to have.

Ya i dont know what UCM is, I know i dont have ADP. I just got it all programmed. Its looking good!
