XTL 1500 CALL LIST
So the Chief orders 13 XTL 1500 mobiles with the expectation that they will replace the MCS2000 units in the cars. Display is tiny, only has 48 channels, and ok I can deal with that, but why is the MDC Call list limited to only 10 ID members? I have 28 cops to ID and as far as I know, you can only assign one call list to a Conventional Personality. What gives? The radio still cost over a thousand bucks with no encryption.

To be fair, the 1500 was designed as the bottom end of the ASTRO25 world. There is a flashcode option G791 Enhanced Software Capabilities which upgrades you to 512 channels and 50 MDC Call ID entries (I happen to be programming one right now so I just verified).
Honestly, if you were trying to do nothing more than MDC and conventional operations, you would have been better suited with a Kenwood TK-5720. MDC capable, 100 IDs in a list, bigger display but smaller control head, 512 channels, and a similar price point.
