3.6 -vs- 9.6 trunking flashcode options

Post by CHEFA2001 »

How can you tell if a radio is flashed to enable 3.6k Trunking? What specific flashcode option # does this require?

Also, same question for APCO-25 Trunking (9.6k), I believe it to be Q361/G361 Digital APCO-25 IMBE Trunking (9600kb Control) but I want to make sure I am correct on this.

In the FLASHcode, the 7th digit from the right must be at least a "4" or greater to be true SmartNet 3600Kbs trunking capable. This is the H37/G50 option. If you want SmartZone, it has to be an "8", which will include the SmartNet as well. As Shaun pointed out above, if it's flashed for 9600Kbs, it'll do the 3600Kbs as well (SmartZone only, not SmartNet).
