This forum is dedicated to discussions pertaining specifically to the Motorola ASTRO line of radios (those that use VSELP/IMBE/AMBE), including using digital modulation, digital programming, FlashPort upgrades, etc. If you have general questions please use the General or Programming forums.
XMO had posted some details about DGT's sometime last year. There are more DGT9000 models that you can shake a stick at, and I believe some of them could work with Astro Spectra consolettes. Try a search & see what comes up. The DGT acted as an 'extended control head', giving you most of the options you would normally have right at the radio. The DGT has it's own RSS for programming things such as mode names. There was also the RCH3000 series, which came inbetween the DGT9000 & MC3000 series units. These later series didn't require their own RSS, they got their information such as mode names directly from the radio itself.
