1.4 FLASHport
®
The ASTRO APX1000 radio utilizes Motorola’s FLASHport technology. FLASHport makes it possible
to add software that drives the radio’s capabilities both at the time of purchase and later on.
Previously, changing a radio’s features and capabilities meant significant modifications or buying a
new radio. But now, similar to how a computer can be loaded with different software, the radio’s
features and capabilities can be upgraded with FLASHport software.
