This XTS3000 stopped working correctly about 2 years ago. The first line up of Astro radios, The Astro Sabers, XTS3000 and XTS3500 (maybe even more) have a common issue where the EPROM fails and the radio is no longer useable. You can see in this video is slowly begins to lose programming information, and even display a corrupt zone name. The HT1250 is programmed identically as the XTS3000. I could only find one channel they could communicate on. When trying to push the codeplug back into the radio, it complains that it does not match the serial number (it does in reality) however the corruption on the codeplug also effected this information. By the end of the video you can see that the radio stops working completely.
Radio did have MODAT, which is a feature not often seen on these. If you came just for that go to 1:00
