Have an 800mhz smartzone XTS-5000 with encryption. Right now it is single key. Is there any other way of making the radio Multi Key capible other then shelling out mega bucks to a Motorola shop to just turn on this feature?

no, there is no other way.

however, i would add that multikey is not an expensive flash bump - maybe $75 or so

this is of course, assuming your radio is legit.

Thanks, now to find a shop that won't charge me $300 +.

Yes it is legit, I just use it for employment at more then one place (more then one secure key).

The Motorola DNUP for XTS5000 multi-key is $330.00. If you are having someone do the flash - by the time their labor is added - you are looking at $400 or so.

It works very well. You can have up to 48 traffic keys. On conventional modes you can strap the keys to the channels - or allow the user to select the key from a menu.

When the radio is operating in trunking modes - the keys must be slaved [no menu selection possible]. You can slave keys to talkgroups. You can also select the key that will be associated with other call types such as private call, interconnect, emergency, etc.

Ok... now I'm confused..... at least more then normal. $75 or about $400?
We should have bought EF Johnson
