Re: XTS1500 stuck in flash zap
Yeah, it's a goner unless you have a backup of the srecs and certain unmentionable tools available to blow in the srecs. Somebody was experimenting with that radio. Or, the EEPROM could be dead, which would make the radio as goner as well.

The fuse is "F1" and the location is shown in the DSM. Replacements are not easy to locate.

There isn't an XTS5000 for 900 MHz, but there is an XTS2500 which is the handheld that I use. If the radio has FPP enabled, FPP will work only for the radio's specified frequency range. Ham frequencies are entered using a hex-edited version of CPS that opens up the frequency range.
