I want to upgrade my PM1500 to an XTL2500 or 5000. My question is can it become an XTL2500 only or can I make it a 5000? Thanks

You can make it a 5000, just need the right software, and the correct control head.

OK. Here is the least snarky answer you are likely to get on this question: don't ask.

Astro25 is a relatively recent product line. You can still get support for it. Posting questions in an open forum regarding hacking/cracking/using Depot tools is probably not the wisest decision, given recent events with other radio forums. Old s*** like Spectras and Sabers... ehh maybe, but definitely not a near-current product line.

Here's a step by step description of how to do it easily and with no legal repercussions.

1) Sell PM1500
2) Buy XTL2500/5000
3) ???
4) Profit! (well, maybe not for you, but for somebody)
