The rest of the FlashCode shouldn't really matter all that much. If you have any conventional Astro with a first digit FlashCode that is odd, then you should have option Q806 and be able to monitor the LAPD. If you want to just be able to monitor the LAPD, you need a FlashCode of at least 100001 000000 1 (guessing at the checksum). If you want to have your radio working close to a LAPD model, have your radio flashed with something similar, by dropping one of these options (one of the lesser important, like H869, since you'd not likely get your hands on keys anyways). The options in the new FlashCode 540001-070000-7 are: Q354 OTACS (Over The Air Channel Steering) Q353 OTACR (Over The Air Channel Reassignment) Remember though, that if you are fishing for FlashCode info while talking to Motorola, and you give three codes in a row with invalid data (including the last checksum byte), you will probably find yourself transferred to someone in Security to speak with.īy the way, the options contained in FlashCode 840101-8F0000-4 are: There is not much they can really do, since you are only inquiring about it. Although it IS legal to ask about it, Motorola may not do it and may get nosey. If you do try to get that flashed into your radio, Motorola security may get involved and start asking questions. If you send in a radio to the depot for service with one of these flash codes, they will only send it back with H35 and you have to buy any upgrades you want for the radio. You are probably better off not trying to get Motorola to flash your Astro Saber 'just like LAPD's'. This section will try and answer many of those related questions.įirst, the radio that the LAPD is using is the H04SDH9PW7AN. There seems to be a number of people interested in the Astro Sabers that the LAPD uses. The current list price for that item is $166US.

This cable is made up of the following parts: Referenceīy the way, if you thing you can make yourself a cheap cable by just ordering part number 0960113A07, well, forget it. This cable is for the Astro Saber and Saber Si. You may also want to take a look at the RKN4046A Flash/Service Cable. The programming cable for the XTS3000 and XTS3500 is the same as the other Jedi radios, RKN4035A, and its pinout can be found here. Take a look at the programming cable for the Astro Saber.

Here you can find the Astro Portable model breakdown chart. The part number for the HHCH for the XTS3000 Vehicular Adapter (XTVA) may be PLN7737A (unconfirmed). Only keyloaders with a model suffix DX or later will properly keyload an Astro, while BX & CX (as well as DX) models will work fine with a regular Saber.įor keyloading, you use the same cable as a regular Saber, TKN8506, and the pinout is available here.

The radio uses a third generation keyloader, there is a retro kit to upgrade the DES-XL key loader, and the data in and out pins are different. This causes problems since the center pin on the radio may not make contact and you will be transmitting into an open (bad). There are some cheap adapters that have a recessed center pin on the female side. Be sure that you use a high quality adapter if you are going to convert from the SMA to something else. Most of this information is for the Astro Saber, but since the XTS3000 and its family are programmed by the same RSS, a lot of the information will be relevant for it too.Īll these radios use a standard SMA connector for the antenna.
