1.3 Radio Description
The ASTRO APX 5000/ APX 6000/ APX 6000Li radios are among the most sophisticated two-way
radios available.
The ASTRO APX 5000/ APX 6000/ APX 6000Li 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 5000/ APX 6000/ APX 6000Li radios are available in two configurations – Top Display
and Dual Display. Table 1-1 describes their basic features.
1.4 FLASHport
®
The ASTRO APX 5000/ APX 6000/ APX 6000Li 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.
