Astro Spectra P25 - What Firmware Level ?

Post by mancow »

I know the Astro Saber requires 6.something. What about the Spectra? What level is needed for P25 trunking? I have an 800 with R11.00.01 and N07.03.06 but it reports a fail 002 when I try to feed it a P25 trunking enabled codeplug.

When you order the firmware update, Motorola needs all of the radio info including the flashcode. A lot of the times they can tell by the s/n if the flash is legit (this is not true 100% of the times, I know there are a lot of units upgraded in the field that were recorded). If you request an upgrade for a radio without a P25 trunking flash, you will get the 11.71.xx.

So the answer to your question is no, sorry.
