Hello. I was just looking at some HT's & noticed some strange things. All MTS 2000's I've seen start with ser # 466. I just saw one that started with 432. All MTX 8000's I've seen start with 511, however I have an MTX 8000 that starts with 402. Lastly all Astro Sabers I've seen are 310, however I just purchased a used case, even the same bandsplit as mine "R", but it starts with 465. Not that I lose sleep at night but what's up with that?

not shure about those but the 2nd & 3rd letters are the manufacturing date code

Those 1st three are product line code.

What does the first letter represent?

Are the oddball ones perhaps SP radios? I've never noticed anything like that before, but then I only deal with mobiles.

The first letter is where the radio manufacturing line was.

"C" - Illinois
"K" - Arizona
"X" - Puerto Rico
"A" Florida
etc.
