Re: MODEL STRING DECODE REQUESTS ONLY
I'd still go with Series 4. Don't waste your time on the Series 1. TOO many issues with that radio. MOST XTS accessories will work, but they did do some pinout changes later in its life to change that. It is hard to say 100% that the accessory will work. MOST will however. The big thing is if you h...

Re: MODEL STRING DECODE REQUESTS ONLY
The series 1 radios utilized the Motorola Saber RF deck, whereas the series 4 deck utilized and EFJ RF deck. The series 4 radios are newer and will support more of the P25 Trunking features you will undoubtedly desire. Both have the pros and cons but the series 1 has more cons IMO. The options will...

Re: MODEL STRING DECODE REQUESTS ONLY
Yes, the radio will work down to 136 MHz. You could get a wideband antenna to cover the entire band, or you get a tuned antenna that goes down to (starts at) 136 Mhz. I.S. I'm a bit confused, I did not know if this was still an active thread before I received your response and also asked EF Johnnso...
