No, because they are not painted. The color is within the plastic.

Looks neat, but I would prefer a two character display instead of the 0-9-a-f

True, but if you want the speaker to be somewhere near the control head it sure helps.

resqguy911

Operations critical devices are not compatible with APX subscribers. You need mission critical bluetooth.

resqguy911

PMLN4958 is the mic extension cable. You will also need the PMLN4959 accessory cable as well to provide ignition sense and speaker leads. All you have to do is make sure you program the appropriate buttons and plug it in on a mid power brick. I just wanted to confirm that the XTL5000 "Rear Ign...

This problem dates back to the first APX radios, XE or not doesn't matter. We tracked it down to not just moisture, but high-salinity liquid such as sweat will accelerate the problem. A certain group of firefighters would take the RSM off, and grab just the radio to go running during morning PT- the...

All APX8000 and APX6000BN radios use the "FREON" processor. All others use the "OMAP".

Sorry because I wasn't subscribed I didn't see the reply. Wavetar is correct on pricing, but you lose some ruggedness/IP rating and the display is nowhere near as rugged on the APX900 vs the rest of the line.

Just to help this only works on 2003-2006 models. The 2000-2002 have a slightly different console and it won't fit.

Our cost was $2500 out the door, but then we get big big discounts with the amount of radios we buy. For this radio, we had TDMA & AES256, Multikey, charger, & extended warranty. Remember your mileage will be different. rdw Wow, not what I was expecting. I thought it might have been lower a...

We have a few thousand in service across a few departments. You name the problem, we've seen it. Bad boards in the heads, bad cables, bad connectors, bad strain relief. Hundreds of them have been swapped out over the last three years. All XE with XT cables.

resqguy911

Is it the old original non-impres li-ion battery? I wouldn't be trying to jumpstart that one unless you like fireworks.

All the noise cancelling settings in the profile are ignored when using an XE or XP RSM. lso, wether or not you use an RSM, the PASS Alarm filter is looking for frequencies, not cadence so the 1982 update should have no effect (so we were told last week by the subscriber team).

If your programmer set the battery type in CPS to UL and you use a non-UL battery you will get that error, it's to prevent mixing and matching non-certified batteries. You need to use gray labeled UL/TIA4950 batteries with the 8000XE in this case. Also, were all the new 'unknown batteries' properly ...

That's the same size as the PMNN4403. They just haven't updated the carry case specifications to reflect Impres2 part numbers.

You want dual band, order an 8000 with only what you want turned on. Remember, the 8000 is not multiband by default. Hardware wise, yes. Software wise, no. It's actually the other way around.

Our experience is that the inherent features of the XE RSM override any radio profile/audio settings when attached.

This should be fixed in a few days with the release of r16. It works as intended on a FM 6kXE though. You won't see any options available if the radio doesn't have FM or UL certification.
