XTS5000 FPP
Hello. Asking all you experts out there: is it possible to program an XTS5000 (VHF) to accept FPP WITHOUT a dongle? I have seen some advertised this way but wasn't sure if this was a hacked radio or if there was a legitimate way to make it happen. Thanks.
Re: XTS5000 FPP
There is tons of info here on the board about 5K's and FPP, but in short here is a good rule of thumb...
Q52 by itself in the flashcode with Host R09.xx.xx or below = No Dongle required for FPP
Q53 by itself in the flashcode with any Host = Dongle required for FPP
Q52 + Q53 in the flashcode with any Host = No Dongle required for FPP

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.

Perfect thanks.

Talked to my M rep. Q52 can only be sold to the Feds. State and Local can only get Q53. So I'm out of luck.....again! M is wearing on my nerves.

If you're not using the XTS professionally then buy a Q52/53 radio on eBay. There are tons of them available these days, both
VHF and UHF (all reflashed, of course) and they work great.
