XTS 2500™
The Motorola Inc. XTS 2500™ is a compact version of the XTS 5000™. It utilizes waris-series
batteries, but has a jedi accessory connector.

According to Motorola Inc., the XTS 2500™ supports 512 modes, whereas the XTS 5000™
supports 850.
Another difference is the lack of Type 1 encryption algorithm support. Motorola Inc. confirmed
this fact (which is not listed on their website) via correspondence while this guide was being written.
The Motorola Inc. XTS 2500™ operates almost identically to the XTS 5000™, with the exception
of the user-controllable high/low power setting option. The only way to set transmitter power is
through personality settings for each mode. This option is not assignable to an external switch, button
or soft-menu.
The Q52 and Q53 FPP FLASHport™ options are available for this radio.
