Understood, but those issues could happen in any radio as well, inadvertently change the volume/channels that is. This is helpful when learning to program and not knowing exactly what you are doing. You can read your radio, email me or someone with my skill set your 'codeplug' (programming file) and I can edit it and setup the radio how you ask for it to be done and then I email it back. The other thing with the programming is the files are portable. I have less invested in all my 2500's and 5000's than a single APX 7000 costs. Of course they have been phased out and replaced with the APX radios and those are a whole different animal. And the overall quality if so much better with the commercial stuff, and the apex of that is the 5K's for their manufactured window of time.

I can charge 6 radios or batteries at a time. I have bank chargers that my radios set in. The radio will send the command string and your node will do it's thing.Īccessories is another thing that commercial radios have that the CCR's and ham stuff lack. You just select the command you what and push the PTT. But setting up the node DTMF commands so you can connect and disconnect to the different main nodes is nice.

Now actual phone numbers on GMRS with a phone patch is a no no. If you are a system owner / operator on the network, the one nice thing with either of the radios is you can program 'phone numbers' into the radio. Not sure that the commander mike will work with the 2500's but I have never tried. The 5K's are a bit larger and heavier than the 2500's but I run a fire rig (shoulder strap and leather case) with a commander mike (has volume and channel control on the mike. Programming is no harder than setting up a CCR Baofeng, due to their almost hostile software.

I have a multiband commercial antenna on it so it works with all three bands. I like my 5K's because I have an XTVA in my van which allows me to drop any of the three radios in and have a handheld control head and external speaker. The one 5K is an 800 system radio and the equivalent 2500 is 900 and used for hamĭurability is about the same. I have BOTH the 5000's in 3 bands and the 2500's in 3 bands.

I haven't talked to anyone there, but I haven't seen any availability of the cps software at their place, I almost feel like I should wait to buy radios until after I source the software.

The cable is not cheap, and the impress charger and or battery was the most expensive upgrade.

Thanks for the reply, there is an option for trunking abilities, didn't appear to change the price, otherwise yes the aes upgrade added some, and my thinking, was if I ever wanted to sell it, the aes would be an add I could use to justify a price. IIRC, the only hardware based upgrade is AES encryption - but I could be remembering that wrong.

Many upgrades are software based and you could do them yourself IF you get your hands on that software (different from the programming software) otherwise you might have to pay someone to do them. but it doesn't hurt to have both options enabled. ADP encryption is probably enough for 99.999% of people, and AES requires an expensive 'keyloader' before you can use it. IMHO, I would be sure to get a Model III which has the screen and all the buttons - the only other options that comes to mind is ADP and AES encryption.

The biggest downside is probably getting your hands on the Motorola programming software and then learning how to use it. and the size, it is, without a doubt, the best radio you can use as far as performance, durability and quality. Me, and most of the guys in my local GMRS-Dork group all use XTS5000s.
