APX7500 QA01648 "Hardware Key"
Posted: Tue Feb 14, 2012 8:27 am
Hi group,
I am purchasing my department's first APX7500 800/V mobile. On the price quote from the local MSS, there is an option line listed as "QA01648 Hardware Key $4.00". My question is-- what does this firmware option do? The saleman said it was "required" for programming of trunked systems. This radio will be programmed with 5 seperate Smartzone and P25 trunked systems on both 800 and VHF. Some use ASK, and some do not. My guess is that this option limits programming to ASK use only, which was found to be problematic on the APX portable line already... anyone dealt with this before?
