Remember though, that if you are fishing for FlashCode info while talking to Motorola, and you give three codes in a row with invalid data (including the last checksum byte), you will probably find yourself transferred to someone in Security to speak with. There is not much they can really do, since you are only inquiring about it. Although it IS legal to ask about it, Motorola may not do it and may get nosey. If you do try to get that flashed into your radio, Motorola security may get involved and start asking questions. If you send in a radio to the depot for service with one of these flash codes, they will only send it back with H35 and you have to buy any upgrades you want for the radio.

The radio uses a third generation keyloader, there is a retro kit to upgrade the DES-XL key loader, and the data in and out pins are different. This causes problems since the center pin on the radio may not make contact and you will be transmitting into an open (bad).
