Q446: Fireground Voice/Channel Announcement Q498: Hardware Multikey Encryption w/ OTAR Has been cleared out to factory specs and updated to the latest firmware. The seller of the radio listed the following info: Motorola XTS5000 Model II VHF 136-174mhz P25 digital portable radio. I have 30 days to return the radio if it doesn't work for my needs, which is what I'm trying to find out. Has anyone ever tried using the software with a Windows XP emulator? Any advice or pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated. I just want to make sure I purchase the correct cable (still deciding whether serial to USB is a good or bad idea-I'm trying to bring an old windows XP system back to life so I may be able to just go straight to a serial port, but USB would be more convenient. I can get the software, but also don’t know what version I should use? I’m new to ham radio and realize programming this XTS5000 will be a process so I appreciate any advice you can provide. I would like to program in a few of my local ham repeaters and simplex channels.
and despite researching the radio, software, and reading formums for months I still feel a bit clueless. Is there a way I can verify what I even purchased without getting the software and cables? I've heard a lot of talk about people incidentally bricking their radios, getting radios with depot jobs, incorrect flashing, etc. The buyer realized it couldn't be field programmed like the BK radios typically used by the FS, so I was able to pick it up from him for $215. This radio was sold from a reputable ebay seller for $450. A family member in law enforcement had an extra XTS3000 that he had a few weeks left to turn into his department and he let me borrow it during this timeframe to listen to police traffic, which sparked my interests in radios.įast forward 20+ years and I've been searching on Ebay for XTS5000, but couldn't justify spending $400+ on a VHF or UHF model, but also realized the 700/800mhz would just serve as an expensive paperweight, especially without any knowledge in radio programming and my SDR setup that already works great as a scanner.
I've wanted an XTS5000 ever since I was in elementary school. I've recently gotten into amateur radio and hope to continue learning from members in my local club.
