XTS colored housing ?

Post by KB2ZTX »

So a friend of mine that works for one of those fedearl places stopped by the house the other night and he had a colored XTS portable. I have never seen one. I have seen the APEX series in different colors. He said a couple of the guys have this case but he has not seen many either. I am assuming Motorola never offered colored cases for the XTS2500 series correct ?

What kind of XTS was it, and what color?

If your radio has old firmware, programming it with the latest CPS will not add any new features unless you have the latest firmware to match..

CPS = Customer Programming Software, Not CPS Software.

That's news to me...I saw the new pink XTS5K that is making the rounds, but not a colored XTS2500.

I have never seen any other color on the 2500. I have seen the yellow 3000/5000 series. Kinda shocked me. If I can get my hands on it one day i'll pop it open to see if there is a number anywhere

Actually the 1st generation MT1500, that is the same form factor as the XTS2500, was produced in grey. We have some in the shop in model 1 and I think the original XTS1500 came that way as well.
Once the B versions, to include the model 1.5, came out they were produced in black.

Lets see if the pink XTS5K shows...

Wasn't there a desert brown XTS2500 case floating around? Could be thinking of the SRX, but pretty sure I have seen an XTS2500 that color.

I've seen those grey MT/XTS's as well. Black was much better.
