I've seen some Manuals for the Astro Spectra Plus on Motorola Online under Resources.

Looks exactly like an Astro Spectra. Does ASTRO25 trunking. An interim product until the new super mobile is ready to ship.(rumor has it the name is Odyssey)

The new mobile will support Astro trunking (9600 BPS) and Smartnet trunking (3600 BPS) in the same radio like XTS 5000 (i.e. you can have one radio that will interoperate on both types of systems. XTS 2500 and the new MR mobile as mid-tier products will support either format but not in the same radio at the same time (i.e. order or flash it one way but not both)

BTW - as was noted in the initial look at the XTS5000 & 2500 a few months back, all these radios will have ESN which means Flash options will be ordered for one specific radio only.
Lowband radio. The original and non-complicated wide area interoperable communications system

Well,

I have one of these new ASTRO Spectra's for auction at:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 1371879430

This radio supports both 3600 baud and 9600 baud ASTRO systems in the same radio. Brand new, in the box, purchased from an agency that could not use.

All tags on the radio, in original box with documentation etc.

I've got pictures posted there, and you can reference my earlier post here: http://batboard.batlabs.com/viewtopic.php?t=7137

Some of the features in the radio have changed.... the radio looks exactly the same, but things like AMSS and scanning across systems have changed in the codeplug.
