1.3 Radio Description
The ASTRO APX 7000 radios are among the most sophisticated two-way radios available. These
dual band radios are capable of operating in both VHF (136–174 MHz) and 764–870 MHz frequency
bands, UHF1 (380–470 MHz) and 764–870 MHz frequency bands, VHF (136–174 MHz) and UHF1
(380–470 MHz) frequency bands, UHF2 (450–520 MHz) and 764–870 MHz frequency bands, and,
VHF (136–174 MHz) and UHF2 (450–520 MHz) frequency bands.
The ASTRO APX 7000 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 7000 radios are available in two configurations – Top Display and Dual Display.
Table 1-1 describes their basic features.
1.4 FLASHport
®
The ASTRO APX 7000 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.
