If using an anonymous eHam user ID for submitting reviews there has been a court ruling regarding identity disclosure of writers of false reviews. Reviews only stating "Its great"or "Terrible product" are not helpful without more information why its great or terrible. Mixing reviews together of both products and companies/customer service results in product Rating numbers/Stars that do not reflect a valid Rating of the actual product.Ī review should provide useful relevant opinions of a product. The correct venue for these reviews is the eHam Community Forum "Company Reviews". The product reviews is not the correct place for reviews of customer service or companies/dealers/manufacturers. The reviews are not a Forum for two-way exchanges, product inquiries, general discussions, complaints, help requests, product repairs or modifications, or customer service issues. Products to be reviewed typically should be tangible ham radio related items such as radios, antennas, towers, test equipment, feedlines, etc.ĮHam's Product Reviews are intended to provide an opportunity to share an opinion, positive or negative, of a commercially available ham radio-related product or service.Ī valid product review is one where you have experience or knowledge of the product that you would like to share with others. If your new review has not been Approved after several days you can assume that it was found to not be within the product review T's&C's shown below during screening.

The delay is for new review screening and approval. There's a delay before newly submitted reviews are Approved and posted in eHam's reviews. eHam's Product Reviews are a database of ham radio related products and services personal opinions.Ģ. P25 also works very well on simplex and, being an "open sky" (meaning it's available to everyone) protocol is perfectly legal on the hambands.ġ. A standard analog FM repeater will not repeat a digital signal so a special Motorola repeater, called a Quantar, is required. As more and more P25 ham repeaters come into existence this very nice, quiet, and reliable means of communicating will see much more activity. One other thing that was not mentioned in previous reviews is the radio's ability (if the feature has been included in your radio's flashcode) to do P25/digital comms. (What happens if you have only Q52 but not Q53 as well with firmware/software higher than 9 is that you LOSE the FPP capability when you go to use the FPP function.) Not that there's anything wrong with version 9 stuff, it's just older, and so-called upgrades/improvements in later versions have no real effect on ham operations. However, if your radio has only Q52 then you're limited to nothing higher than version 9 for firmware and CPS. If you have both you can do FPP with any version of firmware and CPS. The two flashcode items required to do FPP are Q52 and Q53. The current "big thing" is the FPP feature which has presented some problems due to interactions with various levels of firmware in the radios. Since the original reviews for the XTS5000 were written there have been some updates to the radio's system that should be mentioned. Signal strenght display on Trunked Systems only Status icons including battery (with impress batteries) and power indicator 2 x 3 navigational keys (on Models II and III) Programmable softkeys for easy access to radio functions Up to 850 channels (on Model II and Model III radios - only 48 on Model I) Illuminated 16-position, top-mounted rotary knob Check your flashcode to see what options are installed.
