According to my model breakdown chart, it's only made in 4-5W models. The 'D' in the model number signifies 4-5W.

i was under the impression that the model breakdown chart listed the MAX power of the portables. aren't the EX500's programmable via CPS for low/high power xmit? i would have guessed that the hi-power setting is 4 or 5w and the low power more like 2w.

I don't think I've seen a Motorola portable of recent vintage(last 15 years) that isn't programmable for low or high power in order to conserve precious battery power for longer runtime. However, the model numbers specify the highest power that the unit is designed to operate at on transmit.
