Your ASTRO XTL 2500 Digital Mobile Radio utilizes Motorola's
revolutionary FLASHport™ technology. This allows your radio's
capabilities to be flexible because FLASHport makes it possible to
add software that drives these capabilities both at the time of
purchase and later on. Similar to how a computer can be loaded with
different software, your radio's features and capabilities can be
upgraded with software.
FLASHport allows you to add software to your radio as your needs
change and as technology advances, making your radio investment
go further.
FLASHport is the future of radio communications, and it's yet another
example of Motorola's commitment to your satisfaction.
