I've seen some mentions about XTS2000. If I remember correctly it's the same as XTS2500, but not for AA (US) region.

Something like XTS4250 for Latin America.

Correct me if I am wrong!

The ATS radio is an asian only radio.. not sure about the 2000

I have a friend that works for a large agency who swears they are buying XTS2000 for some LEOs. It's here in California. So um, wtf?

XTS2K is on the State of Florida website.

H46SDH9HW7xN is an example of an XTS 2000 model number. Interesting there don't seem to be any photos/details on the product.

Here's an ATS 2500:

Oh look, another Waris model line that will have poor performance on both transmit and receive!

The ATS2500 has been out for quite a while now... it's just an export smartzone waris radio, nothing special.

That's an interesting radio. I had a similar 9250 for 900 mhz. It works exactly like a Jedi, so I wanted one on UHF. So I looked at a UHF1250 at a hamfest, but it worked totally different, so I didn't buy it. They sell a MTX4500 in Canada that's a UHF version of the 9250, & works exactly the same, but it's not sold here. This ATS looks exactly the same. So why don't they sell a UHF Waris that works exactly the same as the 9250, or the ATS3000, or MTX4500 in the States? GARY

I'm sure if you had a newer UHF HT1250 that would take the 512k firmware file you could force in ATS2500 firmware and a codeplug of the appropriate band and make it work... that is if you dont mind hacking it.
