This is my attempt to capture all the know features in flash features encoded in Motorola flashcodes, and an explanation of them.
This is probably not a comprehensive list right now.
Most of the descriptions come from http://www.akardam.net/r/m/tools/fdecode.pl?do=decode
| Code | Description | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Q806 | ASTRO IMBE Digital Operation | Enables digital voice (P25 CAI). Without this, only analog is supported. |
| H14 | Enhanced Digital ID Display | |
| Q52 | Federal Government FPP | Front-panel programmable |
| Q498 | Hardware Multikey Encryption with OTAR | OTAR = Over the Air Rekeying |
| H43 | Trunked Remote Monitor / Radio Trace | |
| H46 | Trunked One Touch Status Message | |
| Q883 | 3600/9600 Interoperability/Mixed Mode Signalling | |
| H38 | SmartZone Systems Operation | |
| G857 | FDNY Emergency Rx/Tx Tone Set | See https://forums.radioreference.com/threads/fdny-fireground-tone.370432/ for more. There is some question about whether this was ever sold to anyone but FDNY; it seems to turn up a lot in hacked radios. |
