From what I have found the SL 300 has a capacity plus version model number AAH88QCP9JG2AN and not capacity plus model number AAH88QCP9JA2AN. first can anyone confirm that t...

Hey guys
so im trying to get one of my rental clients switched over to XPR6550s and 7550s from the HT1250s. The biggest complaint i am getting is that the trbo radios just don't get as loud as the waris series did. is there any way to up the output volume?

thanks

wondering if there is a way to make my 7550 speaker mic behave the same way my 6550 and my old ht1250s. whats different on the 7550 is that if i push the PTT button on the radio, it still activates the speaker mic microphone. on the other radios only the PTT button on the speaker mic activates the s...

Hi i was trying to update the firmware on my XPR 6550 using CPS v 9.0. half way through the update an error message came up and now my radio will only show flashzap bootloader version 02.04.00 USB operation ready to download. The radio will not attach to the computer as a radio, but only as the flas...

Hi
trying to find a passport option board for an HT1550. Ideally if M makes one that would be ideal since i could program it myself. Im just looking for 1 or 2. If anybody has any ideas on where to look that would be great!

Can the TRBO radios (XPR 6500/6550) do passport when in analog mode? Do the 6500s and 6550s have several different sub models with different capabilities like the HT1250s did? If so are there only certain sub models that will do passport on analog?

Thanks

hi
just curious if someone could give me a quick idea of how much battery life difference i should see on an HT600 when i have the energy saver option turned on vs off in the programing. also just curious what turning the energy saver on actually does to how the radio works.

thanks

hi just wanted to get opinions on the best way to tie into the accessory circuit for relay control for a radio.
