The ASTRO Digital XTS 3000 radios are among the most sophisticated two-
way radios available. The radio is presently available in the 800MHz band;
radios in the UHF and VHF bands will be available by the end of 1996.
One of the newest in a long line of quality Motorola products, the ASTRO
Digital XTS 3000 radio provides improved voice quality across more coverage
area. The digital process called "embedded signalling" intermixes system
signalling information with digital voice, resulting in improved system
reliability and the capability of supporting a multitude of advanced features.
Such features add up to better, more cost-effective two-way radio
communications.
ASTRO Digital XTS 3000 radios are available in two basic models. Table 1
provides a description of their basic features.

The ASTRO Digital XTS 3000 radio utilizes Motorola's revolutionary
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.
