Changing the Soft ID on an Astro Spectra can only be accomplished with CPS.

Yeah only the portables allow you to change it on the fly.

Kind of Off-Topic, but what does the Soft Id do? Is that the "Username" that you use for Astro25 TMS, or is it just a user-changeable text ANI sort of deal? Does it show up on a console?

I have been meaning to post this for over a year now, but for those interested in a mobile that will allow you to change the softid, the w3 hhch Astro Spectras will allow it. You change it in basically the same way as on the Astro Saber/XTS3000 HT's
