242-5112-888
Further research shows 242-5318-201-AAAB 4 was already decoded...so it shouldn't be much different - so what's the last "4"?
VHF 50W remote mount, P25 conventional, no encryption?

re: 242-5112-888
From a previous post by I.S.: "888 was their old designator for demo radios. It is nearly impossible to tell what options were installed unless you can 'read' the radio"

So...it's pot luck? VHF Conventional/P25...may or may not have encryption?

Are you sure the two letter code is GM?

I don't have documentation for that combo.

5100 Not SL/Ascend
UHF (380-470)
Model II, I.S.
I.S. Battery
Black Housing

I don't have a CM options designator either.
This is a Series 3 which means it has the Motorola UCM module. This is the only radio that can legally do DES-XL. My guess is that this radio is/was military surplus and that it will have DES-XL and possibly AES.
It could have OTAR and FPP but I cannot guarantee that.
It will most likely have Digital Conv for sure. Cannot guarantee any of the trunking options but going off the GM code and designators near that it COULD have SN/SZ(both ANA and DIG) and P25Trunking.

I.S.
