General Information


ASTRO Digital XTS 3000 Radio Models are capable of operating in three different voice communication modes:  The mode of operation is programmed on a channel-by-channel basis. With the coded/clear switch set to the clear mode, the ASTRO Digital XTS 3000 radio is capable of transmitting clear analog voice or clear (unencrypted) ASTRO Digital voice, depending on the channel programming. With the coded/clear switch set to the coded mode, the ASTRO Digital XTS 3000 radio loaded with a Voice Encryption Option is capable of transmitting SECURENET(12Kbps) encryption or ASTRO(9.6Kbps) digital encryption, depending on the channel programming. Both SECURENET encryption and ASTRO digital encryption provide communications security. SECURENET encryption and ASTRO Digital encryption cannot be programmed for the same channel. ASTRO Digital encryption (operating in encrypted mode while also operating in the 9.6KB ASTRO mode) is capable of XL type encryptions; ASTRO Digital encryption does not operate with non-XL encryptions.

 An Encryption Option is not required for either clear analog operation or clear ASTRO Digital operation. Encryption can be ordered with the ASTRO Digital XTS 3000 radio either as a factory installed option or separate from the radio for later field installation.

 ASTRO Digital XTS 3000 radio functions include selected Stat-Alert™ signaling, selected ASTRO Digital signaling and digital speech coding.

The ASTRO Digital XTS 3000 Portable Series Radios are part of the FLASHport Program. This means that ASTRO Digital XTS 3000 hardware models can be loaded with different software packages that provide the features and functionalities that your customers require. Three different hardware models are available in each band split. 

  1. Order the ASTRO Digital XTS 3000 Portable Series as the main line item (H09UCH9PW7_N) 
  2. Select the Operation mode (Either Analog or ASTRO Digital) 
  3. Select the System Enhancement Software Package (One System Enhancement Software Package MUST be ordered for each radio unit ordered.) 
  4. Select ANY System Enhancement Options
These System Enhancement Options can be loaded either at the time of radio purchase or at a later date through the use of software field upgrades (a Smart Rib, RSS Terminal and RSS package are required for all software upgrades). The ASTRO Digital XTS 3000 Portables can be upgraded electronically in the field with new features in the current system or to new systems operation (contingent upon remaining within the same RF sub-band) by ordering upgrade kits.
 
 

CONVENTIONAL OPERATION

When ordered with the Conventional System Enhancement Software package, the radio ships ready for field programming; this includes field programming of the MDC-1200™ Stat-Alert and ASTRO Digital Signaling features supported in the Conventional System Enhancement Software package. Limited Factory Programming is available as an option for all radios loaded with the Conventional System Enhancement Software package.

The System and Enhancement Option sections offer additional features for the ASTRO Digital XTS 3000 Conventional System Enhancement Software Package. Radios ordered as conventional radios can be field upgraded to trunked operation with the field upgrade kits (contingent upon remaining within the same RF sub-band). Consult the Software Upgrade section for software system upgrade options.

ENCRYPTION

Encryption can be ordered as a factory installed option or separately for future field installation. Not all System Enhancement Software Packages will support Secure Voice communications. Refer to the System Enhancement Options section for Secure Voice Communications compatibilities.

CONVENTIONAL FACTORY PROGRAMMING
(Can be ordered with the H35 System Enhancement Software Package)

ASTRO Digital XTS 3000 portables ship without customer specific factory programming unless a programming options is specified. The following options allow for factory programming of selected software features and apply to the ASTRO Digital XTS 3000 Conventional System Enhancement Software Package (H35). All of the following are field programmable as well and do not necessarily require factory programming.
 
 

FREQUENCY AND SQUELCH CODES

Although some models of the ASTRO Digital XTS 3000 are capable of 255 channels, the factory can accommodate the programming of only 128 continuous channels in any one radio. If the programming of more than 128 continuous channels is desired, field programming software must be used. Only for use with System Enhancement Software Package H35.
 
 

ZONED OPERATION

This option converts mode-only ASTRO Digital XTS 3000 portables to Zone Operation radios. A maximum of 16 Rx and Tx pairs can be placed into a zone. There is a maximum of three zones (48 modes) on the "I" Model, with zone operation programmed to the programmable top mounted two position concentric switch. There is a maximum of 16 zones (255 modes) on the "II" and "III" models, and the zones will be programmed to be selected from the keypad. The factory can only accommodate the programming of only 128 continuous channels consisting of any combination of zones and channels and minimum of 32 channels with two zones on the "I" models. NOTE: Option H477 must also be ordered when option H371 is ordered.

 ORDERING REQUIREMENTS FOR FACTORY PROGRAMMING OF ASTRO PORTABLES WITH CONVENTIONAL SOFTWARE

  1. If frequencies and squelch (PL, DPL, CSQ) information are to be programmed by the factory, the H477 option is required. ASTRO Digital XTS 3000 PL/DPL supports Motorola and EIA tones only.
  2. Factory programming of inactive (blank) receive frequencies is NOT allowed; inactive (blank) transmit frequencies are allowed. To order a blank transmit mode, specify the receive frequency and place the "BLANK" where the transmit frequency belongs.
  3. Programming of the following frequencies are not allowed: VHF: 168.000 and 177.900 UHF: 403.200, 420.000, 436.800, 437.400, 453.600, 470.400, 487.200, and 504.000 4. If Q241 is ordered, all active channels must have a squelch code (PL, DPL, CSQ). Supplemental data is not required.
  4. If Q242 is ordered, all active channels must have a Network ID or be set to the Analog Mode requiring supplemental data. Use the "Analog ID" data field to set channels to the analog mode. All analog channels require a squelch code (PL, DPL, CSQ). For digital channels, enter the network ID in the "Network ID" data field. Use the "25 Bandwidth" data field to set digital channels to 25 KHz bandwidth.
The XTS 3000 portable radio when properly equipped with options H223AX and Q393AB are Approved by Factory Mutual Research Corporation (FMRC) as intrinsically safe for use in Class I, II, III, Division 1, Group C, D, E, F, and G. It is also approved for non-incendiary use in Class I, Division 2, Group A, B, C and D.

 The XTS 3000 portables equipped with encryption modules and options H223BF and Q393AC are Approved as Intrinsically Safe, for use in Class I, II, III, Division 1, Group D, AF, G. And non-incendiary for use in Class I, Div 2, Group A, B, C, D only.

PROJECT 25 ENCRYPTION

The DES-OFB and AES-OFB Encryption offered is compliant with Project 25 standards. 

FIELD INSTALLED PROJECT 25 ENCRYPTION

The DES-OFB and AES-OFB Encryption Options offered is compliant with Project 25 standards. Operation of DES-OFB and AES-OFB encryption requires the ASTRO Digital CAI (Q806). Radios can be upgraded via FLASHport to CAI operation.

FIPS 140-2 COMPLIANCE

Encryption Modules equipped with DES-OFB and/or AES-OFB are FIPS140-2 compliant. Details regarding the certification, and copies of the relevant certificates, can be obtained on the NIST website at: http://csrc.nist.gov/cryptval/140-1/1401val2003.htm

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING AES OTAR: While the AES option (Q14 & Q15) is validated for FIPS 140-2, the AES OTAR option (Q14 with Q498 or Q15 with Q498), which is Project 25 compliant, is not validated to FIPS 140-2 since the current P25 AES OTAR standard has not been approved by NIST. Any order to Motorola for this option should not be placed without a prior determination by the Government that the requirements of FIPS 140-2 are either not applicable or have been properly waived.

PUBLIC SAFETY SPEAKER MICROPHONES (PSM)

The RF switch has been removed from the XTS Radio to provide cost savings on the model. Therefore, the EXTERNAL RF SWITCH must be ATTACHED to the radio in order for the Public Safety Microphone (PSM) to operate. A wrench tool must be used to place the RF switch. These kits must be ordered separately. (*) Requires antenna. See radio antenna's section. The RF switch and microphones listed are FM approved. The External RF switch must be ordered to operate the Public Safety Microphone (PSM)
