You would need a new + vocon, tuning and also what freq range are we talking about? Current model # would help to see if they even made your particular astro spectra in a + version.

When you power the radio on what does it say?

Astro = Astro Spectra
Spectra+ = Astro Spectra Plus
XTL5000 = XTL5000

Thats how you can tell what radio is connected to a w series head without much effort.

Also if it is a 800 Astro Spectra and you just need to do 9600 trunking that can be done with special firmware.

Edit: I didn't read it properly, you already know its a regular astro.
