Generally, the MFG number and the Flashcode are what you need to determine features easily if you're looking to buy a radio. On the main Batlabs site, go to model specific information, then select astro mobile. The model number chart will be there. All astro spectras and XTLs are capable of P25 IF they have the correct firmware and flashcode. If the first (left side) digit of the flashcode is an odd number (1,3,5, etc), the radio is flashed for P25. If the radio isn't flashed for digital, it would most likely need a firmware refresh and a new flash with the features that you want. Motorola will not sell a firmware or flash feature to you unless you are the original purchaser of the radio though, so you will not be able to order any additional features for the radio.

Based on the information you've provided, there isn't enough there to determine if it supports P25 operation or not.

The FLASHport Manufacturing Code is what you need to determine what feature set is installed in the radio. Without knowing it's Flash Code, it's anyone's guess as to what the radio will support beyond simple analog conventional operation. If you can obtain the Flash Code of the radio, then we can be of more help to you.
