i just receive my uhf cdm1550-ls+ and i can't enter more than 18 conventionnal channels and i have no mdc... any solution to have my 128ch ?

model : AAM25RKF9DP5AN

SN : 001TDE0855

version : R05.03.00

Not sure on models numbers to confirm this but,

1550 ls comes in two flavors:

16 channel limited mdc (only one code)

128 channel full feature.

older 1550 (non-ls) were 48 channel

found this when the fd ordered some radios. they were only 16 channel. no wonder why the deal was so good!

i own both cdm1550's version, the ls and the ls+, on my LS i have only 16ch and no mdc, and my other wich is the subect of this title is the LS+ and this one doesn'T have MCD too... wonder if someone can help or it's only a X to put in a CPS option...

The cdm 1550ls+ comes in ltr and 160modes(conventional) with mdc1200.I have one in my pov.

It can be confusing.

The original CMD1550 had 128 channel capability with full MDC options.

Then, Motorola came out with the CDM1550ls...now the radio could do LTR, but it only had 16 conventional channels (you could put in 18 if you didn't have any LTR systems in it) with no conventional MDC capability!

So, they came out with the CDM1550ls+...it was a big deal when they released it, because they trumpeted the fact it added up to 160 conventional channels, with full MDC options in conventional. Sweet...but you had to read the fine print. The unit came in two models...the basic "5AN" model which was essentially the same as the CDM1550ls...and the deluxe "6AN" model which gave you everything but the kitchen sink.

To make matters even more confusing, the corresponding portable model (HT1250ls+) didn't correspond with the model numbers. "5AN" and "6AN" are both basic limited channel/no MDC models, with "7AN" and "9AN" being the deluxe versions (the lower number being the limited keypad version, the higher number being the full keypad version).

DAMN, another radio to drill in the wall, i think i'll go with a 1250 it's less confusing...

And with the 1550LS+, many people still have trouble getting more than 16 convetionals in it. It takes some playing around to figure out how to do it.

problem solved, i just put a 1250 instead of a 1550ls+turbo-vtec-ss.. i'm just using 30 to 40ch so 64 is enough. thanks for all you response

No way to get MDC on LS+ (5AN)?

How bout this. I've got a CDM 1550 don't know what , theres no label on the front, but it does 160 Channels but no MDC, LOL. I still don't know what this thing is........
