Re: XTL Multi-head Combined Control Cable Limit?
Something is sticking in my head that there was a firmware update to the XTLs about the same time the 131' cables came out that addressed this. Could be wrong, but I could swear it was in the release notes.

Re: Activating MACE in APX7000
the problem you are going to run into is that people that order these typically only order them with the amount of radios they need to flash or in the case of a KVL upgrade, the number of KVLs. I highly doubt someone will want to part with a $600+ flashcard with unused flashes on it.

The enhancement allows you to check a box to turn the ASK requirement off or on. The radios are programmed with a "home system ID" and only that key with the write protect enable parameter can check the box. Clone only keys cannot.
