Hello again my ray-did-de-oh friends and foes:
Today my issue is with a older obsolete no longer supported by Motorola
XTL2500 R1 UHF Mobile. It is in a BASIC Analog only flavor. If possible
would like to have it's FLASHPort firmware upgraded to turn on the
Astro Q806, H14, H345, Q182 & Q361 digital features to make it P25
C4FM active.
Watt I'm getting from reading various WiKi posts about this unit is
this can be done using the Radio Programing CPS under Tools -->
FLASHport --> Upgrade Radio --> Select the FLASHport
Upgrade file.................. and Re-Flashing the original basic
firmware to a more recent enhanced DVN4294N R20.50.09.cvn
version? Do I got this right, or WRONG??
Has anyone done this? Does anyone offer a service to do this?
When I do a search for this Flash File, all that comes back is some
PIRATE software infringement web site, (radiosoftware.online) which
I believe is in Canada offering this exact Flash File for a yearly $150.00
fee; which I doubt any of this $150, makes it back to Motorola, not very
ethical or right so to speak. If I was to acquire this file, would I then
be able to be preform this P25 upgrade using the CPS's Tool's menu
as detailed above?
My Basic UHF R1 XTL2500 currently has a Flash Code of 000080020008
From reading WiKi I believe I need to up this radio to a Flash Code that
begins with the #5 like 5400080004806 or 500088001480.......
Thanks for any help on this matter in advance.
