XTL2500 help

[AEFI]

I have 2 XTL 2500s and both of them I bought off of eBay first mistake, but they both have keys loaded onto them. I can still read and write the radio but only conventional stuff. I have nased these series of radios before and I was wondering if there’s a way to get rid of those keys without “the software“

Like the ad buttons are grayed out on cps

I was curious if this would work if I had somebody create the same radio same serial number, flashcode, and model number with “the software“ and would I be able to write the radio with the new blank one and be able to do everything?

If you can write conventional then all you need to do is add a new trunking system then delete the old one. You will have to do same for personality.

+1 on this, there has to be a trunking system, but if the only one requires a system key, then another must be made first, then delete the one with the system key, in that order.

Happens all the time where I work, we have interoperability with fire stations nationwide, and retool radios from different cities and regions, they often have system keys for parts of the country we do not have physical access to the keys.

Also fun when they come back for repair and have to go to various entities to have Zones added, with different keys per zone......you find who knows what they are doing, the weak end up deleting everything but their "System"/Zone.

Not without a system key for that system. All you can create is a blank system.
