Xts5000 Host/Dsp firmware upgrade

Post by shadownite1 »

I have a xts5k mdl3 VHF, it's a 123abc radio. Wanna know if anyone can do dsp/host firmware upgrade. Radio works and programs fine i just want to have the latest firmware.

What version does it have in it now, R02.20?

If your radio has old firmware, programming it with the latest CPS will not add any new features unless you have the latest firmware to match..

CPS = Customer Programming Software, Not CPS Software.

Unlike the Pro series - there is no easy upgrade option. You can't easily walk in to a dealer and get an upgrade on this unit sadly.

Asking for someone to do a firmware bump that Motorola would otherwise charge you is stretching the rules of the forum here.

While it would be great if we could all get our firmware bumped for free and without the effort of going through channels - but it's not going to happen today or tomorrow.

IN the end, what your asking for is something that you'll have trouble getting through any legitimate means - considering you have a 123ABC1234 radio, it will be close to impossible for this to happen for your radio.
