Serial Number Prefix

Does anyone know of or have a chart/document that lists model series or type indicated by the serial number prefix? Like "205" is an XTL2500, "721" is an XTS5000, etc..... I have found this page but I am not sure it is 100% accurate. http://www.kwnet.net/n7qqu~/motorola-informati...

Re: Astro Spectra rear control head vs. rear mic and speaker

Jason,

I'm familiar with the VIP audio connection for dual heads. Are you saying that if i had the cable, second head, VIP audio connector, mic and speaker that it will all be plug and play by simply reprogramming the radio as a dual head?

Luckily in this application there is not a repeater housing so space is not an issue. The power supply is also sufficient for the CDM to operate.
