I hope that the LASO is agressive. We had a radio stolen in SF last September, and know exactly who has it, but the SFPD hasn't done anything.

Here is the link that the Depot most often uses to check on reported stolen radios. [url]http://www.genesisworld.com/stolen.asp[/url] There are ways to get Motorola to put in a serial alert for that radio in case it comes in for "repair". Especially if you have disabled it on your system.

Hope that helps

Looks like it was put in! Run the Serial no. http://www.genesisworld.com/GSRD_SRnum_ ... ial+Number

Hopefully you didn't enter the serial # in NCIC as listed above - it's invalid!

XTS portables have a 3 x 3 x 4 ( 3 numbers - 3 letters - 4 numbers) serials.

If this radio does infact get found and run through NCIC, it won't return a hit

Psst, the 320CFZB727 should most likely be an "8"

Cop runs real serial # 320CFZ8727, and it's clear

Thanks to all for the help and the PMs. We're still actively on the trail and at least we know that the radio is effectively a brick as it was turned on and it received the disable command at 11:37 am on the 18th.

On another note, we have a number of radios in our fleet that do not conform to the old serial number scheme. As we have purchased more and more radios, the 3-digit family code still stays the same, but the year/month code is supplemented with a letter for every 1,000 radios that they create past the first 10,000 in a particular month of a same family. We have 320CFZA and 320CFZB radios fielded (and a number in the office here) and the more we order, the more creative they will be on the serial numbers.

Re: the new serial number format

So do we. Plenty have 3 numbers, 4 letters, then three numbers..

I can confirm I've seen the radios that are 123ABCD123 as well.

http://www.genesisworld.com/GSRD_STATE_ ... r+Province "State Where Radio Reported Stolen" and don't enter a city or state comes up with 805 hits -- from ALL Over the US & Canada .... using the browser edit & find by date brings up that days entries. I was told about that feature here in 2002... Like it says on the Notes on the above like: "If you click 'Run Query' with no State or Province, you will see all entries in the database." I just pass on the Genesis website like bat user "JPOPatents" already did. Hope something turns up Steve! regards Jim

Now that the radio is a brick there aren't very many options for that unit to get re-enabled. I suppose there is a labtool floating around somewhere (other bat users would have to say that one). Main 2 ways to turn it on would be your system and the depot (thus my suggestion for putting in a serial alert at the big M). If they give you a hard time about it let me know I'm sure we can figure something out.
