MCS2000 Uses Diffrent CPS. I have no info an an MCS2000 USB cable from motorola. Maybe E-bay.
The Consolette uses the XTL programming cable with the spectra mike style connector, the round connector one will not fit.
Keys are loaded in the same location

Works fine for me
No problems loggin in or using it.

Hi I upgrade XTLs allot, Did 1400 of them not to long ago. We ran into this a bunch of times, just make sure your tuning is correct, we had some that flashed to block 17 then failed, but it put the new flash in. We found out that the old tuning info goes in on block 18-19 so we had to retune a few r...

XTL5000 Consolettes program with the port on the radio not the head.
You have to open the console and its on the front of the radio above the 25 pin conections

We found that the 11.00.00 flash has many many many problems when it comes to trunking. 11.00.03 worked for us to fix allot of things. Just a thought.

Got the part on order thatnks to all who helped!!

I have an XTL5000 Remote mount with the old W7 head. I want to make it a dash mount.
I took it all apart and find i need a flex cable to attach the head to the radio as the one in it dosent work.
Anyone have any idea what i ned to order?

Thanks

I use a Larson UHF & AS 800Mhz. Both work great. I have roof mounts in my other car and can't tell too much diffrence, Both systems are repeaters in town.

Played with one today. VHF we put some local repeaters in it and it did well. From the factory it was putting out 2.8 watts. RX was .19 not sure where they got .25 from. I'll keep playing and let everyone know if I find anything neat.

You can order the Q53 FPP option on any XTS2500 or 5000 you want. its fully FCC approved..The Q52 is the federal option for the same thing.

I just orderd an XTS2500 with FPP. The order was for Q53 but it came with Q52 & Q53 from the factory. No key needed

I just got an upgrade from motorola to 09.01.02 for the CPS. I don't see anything new yet.

We have done over 200 head replacements and flashes to fix problems in the 05 head radios. Somone in boston is flashing 700 radios, not sure who.
We are flashing for the head problem, PL decode problem and the DPL narrow band problem. The flash we are now using is Firm 09.00.03 & DSP 09.00.02

I just orderd 21 Flashes for Host & DSP upgrade (they sent me 201 LOL) anyway i orderd 09.00.00 and got 09.00.01 so I guss this is the newest, i got it for XTS-1500/2500/5000 and XTL-1500/2500/5000 and have upgraded one of each so far and they work great, I did test text messageing and it works ...

I just got CPS 9.0 and upgraded to Host 09.00.00 and DSP 09.00.01
Im just starting to play with the new things but havent got to much yet...
The neat thing i see is it allows for 4 remote heads for the XTL5000 daisy chaned together

I got a PM1500 4 weeks ago 100W UHF.
I just paid $540 and had it flashed for P25 and it works great.
I should have went with the High power XTS2500 UHF
Would have turned out to be around the same price LOL

Motorola will not sell the CDM dual had kit anymore, too many problems. Quick mount still sells them. Our customers are going with Kenwood 690/790/890 series dual head with the MDC1200 option (they also now come in digital P25..Go kenwood) Also you can do dual head dual radio for the kenwood, so (VH...

We just did the same thing, Our motorola dealer let us use the following radios to test. Portables: HT750 HT1250 EX500 EX600 PR860 PR1500 MT1500 XTS1500 XTS2500 Mobiles: CM300/PM400 (32CH/64CH) CDM1250 PM1500 XTL2500 We used the portables for 6 weeks in every kind of situation and found the HT &...

We just did 30 XTL2500 VHFs. Mix of coventional and digital channels and 1 encrypted ch.
No problems yet

I just upgraded and got 08.01.02 host and 08.01.04 dsp, Is firmware diffrent?

The roof is the best. anything else on that truck is going to give you less than good preformance..

Best...Ball and spring on the side of the truck= best range RX & TX

Better. Roof of truck

Good. Trunk (not an option)

Poor fender

I have one with 7 cap codes in it, problem i ran into was the cap codes had to have a numarical order to them for them to work next to each othe 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 etc. if you left a blank cap code between them it was OK no need to do the math 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15. I did every other one so i would get page...

All the radios MT1500 PR1500 XTS1500 are the excat same radio just diffrent options the MT & PR can be made a XTS with a flash of the radio Same with the PM1500 its an XTS without digital, but 110watts and remote mount, so if you want high power digital with remote mount buy the PM1500 and flash...

Hi I just got an Astro saber III 800mhz has smartzone in it ect. Anyway it came to me with a code plug in it, I want to get rid of it and make my own but it wont let me, it says i need a key. Anyway to just get rid of this code plug to make a new one? I dont need the trunking one thats in it. Thanks

Yes you can upgrade the MT1500 later to Astro

The MT1500 comes in display and no display, we have sold both types in the last month and can order them with or without display, that motorola dealer is not with it. 2nd the MT1500 is ASTRO upgradeable, it makes the radio an XTS1500 and if you buy the MT1500 and the ASTRO upgrade it will cost you w...
