Introduction
Introduction to FLASHport™
Congratulations! You have just purchased a software upgrade
that will use FLASHport technology from Motorola! FLASHport is a
revolutionary new method that makes it possible to add software
capabilities to your radios both at the time of purchase and later on.
Previously, changing radio features and capabilities meant costly
hardware modifications or buying a new radio. But now, similar to
how a computer can be loaded with different software, your radio’s
features and capabilities can be upgraded with FLASHport software.
This gives your Motorola radio the ability to meet your needs both
today and in the future.
• System software packages provide basic radio control operations
• Enhancement packages build on systems packages and permit
specific features to be installed in your radio.
