Not sure on models numbers to confirm this but,

1550 ls comes in two flavors:

16 channel limited mdc (only one code)

128 channel full feature.

older 1550 (non-ls) were 48 channel

found this when the fd ordered some radios. they were only 16 channel. no wonder why the deal was so good!

It can be confusing.

The original CMD1550 had 128 channel capability with full MDC options.

Then, Motorola came out with the CDM1550ls...now the radio could do LTR, but it only had 16 conventional channels (you could put in 18 if you didn't have any LTR systems in it) with no conventional MDC capability!

So, they came out with the CDM1550ls+...it was a big deal when they released it, because they trumpeted the fact it added up to 160 conventional channels, with full MDC options in conventional. Sweet...but you had to read the fine print. The unit came in two models...the basic "5AN" model which was essentially the same as the CDM1550ls...and the deluxe "6AN" model which gave you everything but the kitchen sink.

To make matters even more confusing, the corresponding portable model (HT1250ls+) didn't correspond with the model numbers. "5AN" and "6AN" are both basic limited channel/no MDC models, with "7AN" and "9AN" being the deluxe versions (the lower number being the limited keypad version, the higher number being the full keypad version).

And with the 1550LS+, many people still have trouble getting more than 16 convetionals in it. It takes some playing around to figure out how to do it.

problem solved, i just put a 1250 instead of a 1550ls+turbo-vtec-ss.. i'm just using 30 to 40ch so 64 is enough. thanks for all you response
