®
The ASTRO APX 2000/ APX 4000 (Two Knobs) 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.
