If you're talking about the auction I think you are, be aware that that's an invalid (but usable) flashcode. From the pics of the back of the radio, it looks like the flashcode was originally 540008-000482-4. In a legit flashcode, Q52 will always be paired with Q53, and very rarely if at all would you find a radio with any kind of FPP paired with anything besides conventional operation.

Caveat empor, ymmv, etc.

are you sure about the requirement for that pairing? i was under the impression that when paired together FPP was available without a key... but they are available seperate, which would allow FPP with a key (similar to JT1000)...

but i do agree, that FPP is normally JUST paired with astro conventional, and im SURE it is not paired with ANY trunking options.

Strictly speaking, any legit radio will have Q53. Q52 can be added to negate the need for the programming dongle, but it has to sit on top of Q53.

Akardam is absolutely correct on this issue, furthermore, I might add that the original legitimate radios were something like 1A0001, and INCLUDED q53.. etc.

Motorola would not sell FPP with Digital ID Display claiming it was incompatible. Although we have seen that it works just fine with it installed, I'm not sure they've fixed that or claim that it does in fact work finally.

I did, however, once see a factory codeplug with trunking installed ( something like 160008 ). The funniest part about it, was since it was setup for FPP, the radio was restricted to 240 conventional modes ( this was back during the days of version 8 host).

The customer paid for trunking and couldn't even assign a trunked personality to their zone/channel assignment. It was stuck on conventional. I don't know what the sales department was thinking, or even how they were able to process the order with their dynamic software.

Guess how far they got with support???

It's not until now that this customer's radios can be upgraded and work correctly on trunked modes with the new host.
