"Q" Option Definitions

Post by Gigs »

I did searching and could not find a listing, but if someone could provide a listing of "Q" options for the 5K series, such as Q52 is FPP, etc. I would think "even as a sticky" this would be handy for people wanting to order radios to know the options out there. For instance, Q806 (I think) is Channel Announcement. Thanks

If your radio has old firmware, programming it with the latest CPS will not add any new features unless you have the latest firmware to match..

CPS = Customer Programming Software, Not CPS Software.

Would these be the same for the 2500 as well since it is the same family?

The option numbers should be the same, provided that the options are available for that radio model (1500/2500/4000/5000/etc). If you look at the top of this forum, find sticky for the akardam tool/tips or something like that. In that post, is a link to his flash code decoders which will break down the options per radio line. If you enter all F's as the flashcode, it will come back with every known option available for the specific radio line and type.

Has anyone ever been able to confirm the difference between a "Q" and "H" option? I think H's were initally major radio software releases (H35 vs 37, etc), but then you have something simple like H14.
