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.
Q947 APCO Packet Data Interface
Q53 FCC FPP And Radio Cloning How does this compare with Q52?
Q387 Conventional Voting Scan
Q173 SmartZone Omnilink MultiZone Operation (Requires H38, SmartZone)
Q361 ASTRO 25 9600 Baud Trunking
Q445 Fireground Accountability Software Maybe also somewhat related to G857? Requires Q806.
Q446 Fireground Voice/Channel Announcement Pre-recorded voice announcements can be set to ID channels
Q667 ADP Software Encryption Weak P25 encryption, but doesn't require hardware encryption
Q574 9600 Baud Trunking
