Just picked up a nice little uhf xts 5000 from the online police auction site. powered it up and it says "radio locked"

can I change this via cps? Have not dug out the laptop / cables to try and read the radio yet.

if not, will try to return it to site or ask for them to get the unlock code.

thanks,

Jeff

Lock code will need entered via the keypad, CPS will be able to read the radio and turn that off, unless, it is password protected, then a hex editor or other methods may need to be used.

LAPD are very protective with their equipment. They don't sell their radios.

Surplus radio equipment is destroyed and any unit on the out of agency hands is probably stolen.
