Is my APX NEXT XE still just a paperweight? Can I program it with CPS? Do I have a headache?

Did your Next arrive with forced narrowband restriction or were you able to get wideband enabled?

@AdventureCruiser Жыл бұрын

No, I was able to perform a top-down copy from my APX8000 code plug right into the NXT code plug and it took my wide band frequencies just fine.

Hey brother, I've been watching many of your radio videos, and I'm wondering out of all the handheld radios you've had experience with, which radio has the best receive? Thanks

I always have Dreams with a nice radio. That the radio I see on my dreams..

@AdventureCruiser 2 жыл бұрын

Careful, some dreams turn to nightmares. Someday I’ll do a video on why I no longer have the NXT, but for now I’m going to let the investigation run it’s course. Yeah, that might be a little foreshadowing.

You're suggesting buying directly from Motorola. I haven't found a dealer willing to sell me one. They all say Motorola only allows them to sell to Public Safety organizations. Do you know of any dealers that would sell me one without requiring Public Safety status?

Sorry, I totally see where you’re coming from. There is an element of liability if I encourage everybody to buy radios off eBay or other random sites, and so I always direct people back to the legitimate sources . The challenges I had with the next are clear example of why buying secondhand is risky. But to answer your question, I’m really sorry, but I don’t. There are occasionally opportunities to buy them on eBay and other sites, but what I have found is getting to know a Motorola tech is quite helpful as well.

Actually you would need to not only have 4.22 but you would also have to initially turn on the ability to use the radio in cps and radio central in the radio central software.

Good helpful information, thank you. That had been done to enable me to use CPS.

No, and I’ve certainly been called worse. Ha ha. Seriously though, that’s rather flattering, thank you.

Can the APX next be Used For ham radio.

@johnkeo358 2 жыл бұрын

Should be able to connect to the UHF and VHF bands on ham

@AdventureCruiser 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, I verified that it works on but VHF and UHF, but not 220 or 900 mhz.

@johnkeo358 2 жыл бұрын

@@AdventureCruiser you're probably better off getting a amateur radio, some are multiband capable of VHF, UHF along with 220 and 900, the only thing that sucks about them is the lack of the P25 codec to listen to public safety

Hi there, I appreciate that you think I’m qualified to offer advice on your situation but I’m just a hobbiest. I encourage you to contact your local Motorola dealer, the APX Facebook group, or Radio Reference. I make videos about what I understand and don’t pretend to be an expert. Sorry.
