The buyer realized it couldn't be field programmed like the BK radios typically used by the FS, so I was able to pick it up from him for $215. This radio was sold from a reputable ebay seller for $450. A family member in law enforcement had an extra XTS3000 that he had a few weeks left to turn into his department and he let me borrow it during this timeframe to listen to police traffic, which sparked my interests in radios.įast forward 20+ years and I've been searching on Ebay for XTS5000, but couldn't justify spending $400+ on a VHF or UHF model, but also realized the 700/800mhz would just serve as an expensive paperweight, especially without any knowledge in radio programming and my SDR setup that already works great as a scanner. I've wanted an XTS5000 ever since I was in elementary school. I've recently gotten into amateur radio and hope to continue learning from members in my local club.
