Same as we spell beer XXXX?

This gives me the chance to field test my Canadian joke (apart from your Rugby Team;-)

Oh, that was the joke!

That's an easy one.

There is MBE (Multi-Band Excitation) and IMBE (Improved Multi-Band Excitation) and also AMBE (Advanced Multiband Excitation)

They are of course speech compression algorythms. They were developed for use in other digital voice applications, not just Project 25.

Ok, I was curious - we have MTS2000's (not many left these days) with the following flashcode:

109108-104600-2

Q806/G806 IMBE / APCO-25 Digital Operation
G170/H43 Remote Monitor and Radio Trace
H46 One-Touch Operation
H39 Selective Radio Inhibit
H38/G51 Smartzone Operation
Q181 Add StatAlert (MDC1200) Features
H270/H738 MDC Status Message
Q387 Conventional voting scan
Q173/G173 Smartzone OmniLink Operation

I'm trying to work out what the IMBE option meant in the context that I didn't think the MTS was capable of digital operations?

Any additional info you can add would be welcome!

Unless you have some strange oddball euro version of it (Which would probably be called something else anyway) the MTS2000 is an analog radio.

PErhaps it refers to the securenet capabilities? I'm not much of an mts2000 buff, but I know with an optional module it will do securenet Maybe it has something to do with that or maybe someone else has a clue as to why your flash code is telling you that it's p25 digital operation.

Let me know if you find out why

I have never heard of an MTS2000 that was digital. That would be cool if it works on a digital network, I would love to keep mine when we make the switch instead of switching to something else. We have 30 MTS2000's where I work, all with securnet installed, but no where in their flash does it include digital.

If you run that flash code thru the trunked radio flash code decoder you may get the digital option coming up but as I remember the decoder is for Astro radios only.

I'm not sure if it was intended for a analog radios flash code like the MTS2000.
