question for you, have you ever programed a XTS-5000. I am currently on a music tour's security advance team and we are debating on getting the software so we can program our radios whenever and wherever. Since I am the only tech savy dude on the team I have been asked if we proceed with the purchase for to program. I have programed with Kenwoods easy software but was curious about motorola. I asked you cause you seem to know a lot : ) Thanks !
wrong. it would be nice though but not possible. maybe for your basic analog old setup but not the new secure system. motorola went all out this time.
Blokemall, in most cases anyone can purchase the radio. But you will need them to program in the channels for you. A reputable dealer will only program channels designated for public service (police, fire, state police, or sheriff) into the radio in a receive mode. There is nothing illegal about using one of these radios as a scanner as long as encryption decoding isn't enabled. Normal APCO25 decoding is fine, as long as it hasn't been encrypted.
Can anyone purchase these radios from Motorola? or does it require proof that I am a local Police or Fire Department in order to purchase these radios?
you all going encrypted fully like us local1323?

stick with Kenwood or Icom. There is a joke in the radio business: MOTOROLA!! you can always buy better but you CAN'T PAY MORE! LOL

nobody can purchase anything from motorola. you have to get it from a separate dealer. cause motorola doesnt retail.
