Option?? Why would this be listed as an "option" that you have to pay for in a flash? I was told that the reason CDM mobiles RX so great is that because they have a preamp that is already enabled, but besides the moto money making factor, why would they charge you to turn the physical preamp on?? It's like "your radio can preform much better on RX than it does now, but that'll cost more"...

same reason they charge you to "turn on" astro25 or smartzone or any other flashcode option, even though they are already in the firmware just disabled.
its just the way it works.

Oh ok. You'd just think that something like a phyiscal pre-amp that would only improve preformance, and possibly be a selling point, would already be turned on! AFAIK, this is an option in the portables as well as mobiles from what I've heard.

W12 Preamp is a valid option for Astro25 mobiles only.

I figured Ray would know that, being a 31337 A25 h@x0r d00d.

Well, being a mobile-only feature would make more sense than having it in a portable too.... I'm just saying it as I heard it. But it does make sense.

You can file it in the same folder as the AM-capable Astro Saber.

Hush, I'm trying to get PSK31 working on mine. Can anyone meet me on 60m, CH 8?

DES or AES? Key? I can do PSK31 from the keypad of my XTS4000.

That's all good, but can you make a 3011DX speak to you when it's finished loading a key? I can
