Yes it can be upgraded to a P25 Radio.
Cant see why it wouldn't be easy if you know the information it should just be a matter of programming
Finally the PR1500 is just another version of the XTS2500/1500 series portable, whilst I don't have any PR1500's I have hundreds of XTS2500 radios out there and about 100 XTS1500. I have never had a 1500 come back and only a few 2500 radios.

APCO 25
I am not familiar with digital radios, is it like analog you set the radio in digital mode and set the freq and you can monitor the radio transmissions???
thanks

I had an PR1500 and it was an absolutely great radio. Ergonomics, feels, reception, and all of that stuff.
My only major qualm with it was the lack of visual indication that it was in scan mode.
Another viable alternative to that though is the MT1500 1.5. Gives you 16 more channels to play with and a display screen.
BTW.... what is the average cost of flashing the PR or MT 1500's to do IMBE P25 digital? Does it have to go back to the Motorola factory to do, or can one of the local shops do it if they have the right tools?
