I've seen them up here, the RCMP have quite a few of them. Small slim unit, with only 16 talkgroup capability, meant to tuck in under a shirt. I don't recall the model number as I only saw them quickly & didn't get to mess with the programming (Regular Astro RSS, from what I was told). I believe the Motorola product name for them was "Jackal".

You guys recall that one on ebay a while back, If I recall correctly, it was new and the guy had NO idea what it was.
He never mentioned the word astro, for I would have taken it in a sencond.
I dont recall the final price, but I think it was quite low, really really low.

Anyone???

Guy's as it say's, it's an ASTRO Covert. It's a basic XTS3000 with minimum controls and no external audio. Used with an external surveillance set. Hard to find and good to have!

The question of the hour would be though -

What do you use to program it?
