Take a look at the programming cable for the Astro Saber. You may also want to look at the Saber Page.

Note that it is the same as the one for the mobiles, except for the available power levels and the "H" at the beginning of the model number to denote portable.Ī listing of the flash upgrade options can be found here.

Here you can find the Astro Portable model breakdown chart. The part number for the HHCH for the XTS3000 Vehicular Adapter (XTVA) may be PLN7737A (unconfirmed). Only keyloaders with a model suffix DX or later will properly keyload an Astro, while BX & CX (as well as DX) models will work fine with a regular Saber.įor keyloading, you use the same cable as a regular Saber, TKN8506, and the pinout is available here. The radio uses a third generation keyloader, there is a retro kit to upgrade the DES-XL key loader, and the data in and out pins are different. This causes problems since the center pin on the radio may not make contact and you will be transmitting into an open (bad). There are some cheap adapters that have a recessed center pin on the female side. Be sure that you use a high quality adapter if you are going to convert from the SMA to something else. Exceptions are rare.Most of this information is for the Astro Saber, but since the XTS3000 and its family are programmed by the same RSS, a lot of the information will be relevant for it too.Īll these radios use a standard SMA connector for the antenna. Officially, they don't sell any flash upgrades to any secondary market radios. Getting flash upgrades is nearly impossible unless you're an original buyer of the radio from Motorola directly. Note that these flash decoding tools may not be completely accurate, your mileage may vary. The interactive version is pretty cool too. You may want to check out the Flash Code Decoder if you want to see what is included in a particular flash code.

The software is downloaded from Motorola's dealer services website (you have to be a dealer to log in). A SmartRIB is not necessary for this application.

For example, if you're talking about PRO radios, the HT and CDM series, you need the re-flash adaptor, HLN9742, and a regular RIB and the Programming/Flash cable, or you can delete the RIB and just use the RIB-less programming cable. You don't always need a SmartRIB to do a firmware upgrade. It really does depend on what kind of radio you are dealing with. Now, don't confuse flash upgrading with firmware upgrading. SmartZone trunking supposedly runs about a thousand dollars per radio upgrade, while some other options like Modat may be only 100 or so. They vary in price according to what options they add to a radio. Motorola is the only 'official' source of Flashport upgrades. The software file itself remains intact, but the key is rendered useless for any further upgrades. The file on disk is not useful anymore once the key's allowed number of uses is up. A FlashKey can only be used for as many radio upgrades (and of the same type) as were purchased.

It works with the RSS, and communicates with the SmartRIB and dongle to control the usage of the Flash file. The last part of the system is the Flash upgrade software. The FlashKey is a 'dongle' which carries a program of its own in it.

The physical requirements are a SmartRIB box, PC to SRIB cable (not always the same as the PC to RIB cable, you need a programming cable which has all the necessary pins connected properly and many aftermarket cables do not but the genuine Motorola article does), and a FlashKey, which is placed between the SRIB and the programming cable. New options can be 'flash' loaded into a FlashPort radio. well, here are the basics on how it's supposed to work Motorola Flash Programming Primer Motorola Flash Programming Primer
