3 INTRODUCTION
This manual contains installation procedures for the XG-25M mobile radios and related options and
accessories. Procedures cover the mounting and cabling of the radio equipment, as well as basic in-
vehicle radio tests.
3.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XG-25M mobile radio is a high-performance digital mobile radio. It can operate in Project 25 (P25)
trunked, P25 conventional, EDACS/ProVoice trunked, and analog conventional modes. The radio is
available in three (3) different RF bands as follows:
• 136 to 174 MHz 50-Watt VHF radio;
• 378 to 470 MHz 50-Watt UHF radio; and,
• 700/800 MHz 35-Watt dual-band radio.
The XG-25M is typically installed in a front-mount configuration; see Figure 3-1 below. However, an
optional field-applied remote-mount kit is available that supports a remote-mount radio configuration.
This is accomplished via separation of the control head from the radio using remote interface hardware
and a 30-foot cable included in the kit; see Figure 3-2.
