[Motorola] Keypad programming for XTS-5000?

[Paul Gilbert]

TVSJR is correct....

If the radio is a trunking radio, you can not get the FPP option (Q53). 
Also, the Q53 option tops your freq list a 250 channels.

If you are Fed Gov you can order the Q52 option and they will load that 
into any radio.

You can sometimes find a radio at Dayton and online that has the Q52 
option (most likely hacked).

I have a VHF and UHF with Q53. It will do the freqs and tones and names.

You can add it via a flashupgrade if you have the right radio.
