I got an XTS 5000 model 3 I would love to be able to find somebody to wipe it clean to factory and make it where I can only listen to my local sheriff department and the weather the band I have found people on eBay. They say they will do it, then they back out of the deal. I have windows ten and I cannot find the software
Your best bet to monitor your local sherrifs office is to by a scanner. If you don’t know your way around the xts5000 or which ever radio you may use don’t try to use it as a scanner. You just keep mentioning XTS5000 Model 3. Do you know if the radio is the correct band for your local sherif. Do you know what type of system the sherif department is using? If your sheriff’s office is on a trunked system, putting a radio on that system to monitor is frowned upon and illegal. There may be a reason that they won’t program it for you. The software is available online. It just requires some searching to find, meaning it’s not gonna be the first link in google.
