Astro25 is the second generation of the Astro (Motorola's name for Digital Voice) radios.

This includes the following:

  • Mobiles
    • PM1500
    • XTL1500
    • XTL2500
    • XTL5000
  • Portables
    • XTS1500
    • XTS2500
    • XTS3500
    • XTS5000
    • XTS4000
    • MT1500

Control heads

Mobiles support the following control heads

  • W3
  • W4
  • W5
  • W7
  • W9
  • M79 - PM1500 only
  • MX - XTL1500 Only
  • M5 - XTL2500 Only
  • O5 - XTL5000 Only
  • O3 - XTL5000 and XTL2500 with export control head.

The W heads are the SB9600 based heads from the Astro Spectra. These will all work but need a special TIB. Note that the W3 head is the only head that will support controlling 2 radios.

Note the M5 and O5 are the same head, just a small hidden keypad button identifies it. Cutting it and flipping it is an easy way to change between them.


CPS/Depot notes

These files can be found in the "\Program Files (x86)\Motorola\ASTRO 25 Products\ASTRO 25 Mobile Depot\Codeplugs" directory.
