1.3 Radio Description
The ASTRO APX 6000XE radios are among the most sophisticated two-way radios available.
The ASTRO APX 6000XE radio provides improved voice quality across more coverage area. The
digital process, called embedded signaling, intermixes system signaling information with digital
voice, resulting in improved system reliability and the capability of supporting a multitude of
advanced features.
ASTRO APX 6000XE radios are available in two configurations – Top Display and Dual Display.
Table 1-1 describes their basic features.
1.4 FLASHport
®
The ASTRO APX 6000XE 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.
