Radio firmware is hardware-specific. A firmware file designed for an APX 6000 will not work on an XTS 2500. Attempting to force incorrect firmware onto a radio can permanently damage the device ("brick it"), rendering it unable to boot up. Recovery often requires sending the unit to a depot for costly repairs. Firmware version 36797 for the Astro MixAmp Pro
