Motorola Solutions equipment serial numbers follow two standard formats. First format: three digits, three letters, and four digits: The fifth character of the serial number represents the YEAR code and the sixth character represents the MONTH code. Example: 2 0 3 F L W 6 4 2 1. Feb 12, 2016 Motorola XTS5000 Models. The XTS 5000 family of ASTRO digital portable two-way radios deliver sophisticated features - signaling schemes, encryption, analog/digital compatibility, conventional and trunking capability.

IMPLICATION #1: YOUR RADIOS MAY NOT BE GENUINE. What does this mean? Non-authorised importers deliberately tamper with the Motorola Solutions serial number, unique to each radio, compromising your ability to know your radio is genuine. 2nd Letter Year: 3rd Letter Month: A: 1976/2000: A: January: B: 1977/2001: B: January: C: 1978/2002: C: February: D: 1979/2003: D: February: E: 1980/2004: E.

MaxTrac index Motorola index Back to Home | MaxTrac VHF, UHF, and 800 MHz Model Information By Robert W. Meister WA1MIK |
The following information was obtained from the Motorola MaxTrac Detailed Service Manual, 'No Longer Available' (NLA). Some of the data may not agree with capabilitiesof the programming software. Note that this information pertains ONLY to the VHF,UHF, and 800 MHz MaxTrac models. Information on the 900 MHz radios can be found inthis article, 900 MHz radio models byRepeater-Builder staff.
Additional information on MaxTrac logic and RF boards, plus firmware revisions, can be found in this article, An Introduction to the MaxTrac or Radius M100 / M214 / M216 Firmware, Logic Boards and RF boards by Neil WBØEMU.
GENERAL NOTES:
- 800 MHz radios can receive 851-870 MHz and transmit 806-825 MHz. Those with talk-around can also transmit 851-870 MHz.
- All radios support PL, DPL, and CSQ operation for receive and transmit.
- The 11th character of the model numbers, the revision, is shown here as anunderscore (_). This is how the model number appears in RSS.
Generic Model Number Scheme:
The 12-character model number for conventional radios follows a reasonably uniform format, shown below in two tables:
First Seven Characters | |||
---|---|---|---|
D | Power Watts | Band MHz | Series |
0: 2 | 1: 29.7-50 | AHA5: trunking | |
3: 10-25 | 3: 136-174 | MGA9: conventional | |
4: 30-50 | 4: 403-470 | MJA1: conventional | |
5: 60 | 5: 806-870 | MJA7: conventional | |
MJA9: conventional | |||
MQA5: trunking | |||
MQA7: trunking | |||
MWA5: trunking |
Motorola Model Number
I suspect that the MGA9 series is supposed to be MJA9.As with most Motorola model numbers, you can NOT tell the band split (29.7-35, 35-42, 42-50, 136-164, 146-174, 403-430, 449-470) by information in the model number. You must open the radio and look up the RF board number.

Discrete Model Numbers:
General notes for the tables below:
- Init: what model series the radio is initialized with.
- Chn: number of conventional channels the stock radio is capable of. Follows the same format as found in the Control Head column in the table above.
- T/A: Talk-Around - Yes or No.
- LB: logic board number. All boards have an HLN prefix and an A or B suffix.
- In the LB column, * indicates HLN5173 or HLN9313 EPROM logic board.
- Logic board HLN9313 has a 16-pin accessory jack. All others have 5-pin jacks.
- Logic board HLN9123 has firmware permanently burned into the CPU. All other boards have replaceable firmware contained in a PROM or an EPROM.

Motorola Serial Number Decoding Problems
The GM300 and the M120 are the same series of radio. The M120 is just the limited version, not unlike the Maxtrac 50 compared with the Maxtrac 300.
Look here for the pinout of the accessory connector for the 8 channel radio (which use a masked logic board) or 16 channel radio (which use an expanded logic board).
If you want an easy way to connect to the Accessory Connector on these radios, you can order the HLN9242A or HLN9457A Accessory Connector kits. These include an accessory connector housing, some pins, and some wires with pins already attached. One thing to note, the HLN9242A kit also includes a pin extractor for removing previously installed pins.
Here is the pinout of the microphone connector.
Are you having problems getting your radio to power up? Well, check here for some information that might help.
This radio can decode and display up to 126 PTT IDs. But how, you ask, since it only has a 2 digit display? It encodes (in HEX) the first two numbers of the PTT ID. See below:
