Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

AP_R03.32.00
DSP N05.01.03
EMC R01.00
KG1 DES-XL
KG2 NONE
H04KDH9PW7AN

That radio is vselp. It could be updated to imbe, but it would require a firmware uplift and a different flash that would add imbe.

You are in the same boat as I am then. My understanding is that you can send it to motorola, but the flat rate charge is over $300 I believe, or get your local mss to order a flash upgrade for the imbe and firmware refresh. There are people out there who may also be able to offer there services. The hardest part will be the firmware upgrade, its a lot easier to get someone to cram a imbe s record into it. All in all, its probably not worth it, but I like challenges.
