Updates

Beginning September 2023 APX radios can be ordered with the New Feature/Latest release or the Baseline release firmware. The Baseline release is defined as a single major software release (i.e. 202X.1) to ship from the factory for a 1 year duration. The first major release each year will be the Baseline Release.  A New Feature Release is defined as the second and third major releases each year (202X.2 and 202X.3) and is required for customers to access new feature content and/or products.  New Feature releases contain the current year’s Baseline content as well as content from the previous New Feature release.

IMPORTANT! Radios that are ordered via COF must add the Baseline Release option (QA09113) if the Baseline firmware is desired.  If the Baseline option (QA09113) is not added to COF orders, radios will ship with the Latest Release and cannot be rolled back to the Baseline Release.  Most quotes and orders should keep the default Baseline Firmware (QA09113) unless a customer desires new functionality only provided in a New Feature release. More information about the Baseline and New Feature Release strategy can be found in MTN-0111-23-NA.

Effective October 11th, 2021: APX Mobile One Touch Feature will be enhanced and integrated with DEK’s Status Message functionalities. Users will benefit from the ability to program and assign alias Status Messages on the APX Control Head display. One Touch Feature G683 pricing will increase from $75 to $125. 

Effective August 1st 2021: E5 control head pricing will increase from $572 to $652.

Effective July 19th 2021 All APX Mobile Orders Booked After July 19th 2021The APX Mobile Bluetooth feature will be available on APX 8500 and Enhanced “BN” APX Mobiles. The E5 Control Head will support COTS Bluetooth and MPP Bluetooth Pairing. The O7, O3 & O2 Control Heads will support COTS Bluetooth ONLY. Bluetooth will be included on all APX Mobile orders and will be reflected in the Flashcode unless DELETE Bluetooth option (QA05336) is used to remove it. A Wifi/Bluetooth antenna will be required to enable the Bluetooth functionality. Flashport upgrades will also be supported. Bluetooth is not supported on the APX Consolette and APX Dual Radio.

Effective October 5th, 2020: All U.S. orders will require an encryption selection. QA05751 “Clear Radio No ADP” has become an orderable option with a $0 dollar cost. G193/Q667 ADP only is also available at $0. Please see encryption section for AES and other encryption options that come with ADP. Units shipped with QA05751 are not field-upgradable for encryption and any changes will require units to be sent to a depot. Further ordering changes are captured in the Encryption Algorithm and Multikey sections below.

Effective, June, 2020: New enhanced "BN" models and the E5 Control Head (GA01670) are orderable.

Effective Effective August 1, 2020: The O5 control head (option G442 and kit H1904) has been canceled and replaced by the E5 GA01670 and H1930

The UHF R2 Enhanced model will be available in Mid 2022. For information on the current UHF R2 AN model, refer to the AN Model PCAT page

Retrofit kits and FLASHport for the Enhanced Models are now available. Please choose the correct vintage when ordering an kit APX.
