Hello, I am a fleet mechanic for a relatively small excavation company (25 pieces). Due to narrow banding, a number of our mobile and portable radios need replacement. We are looking into a few different options, but I would like to know your opinions.
-We operate on one VHF channel around 151 Mhz (I'd have to look it up).
-We do not use any repeaters, or trucking.
-We have a mixture of 25Watt and 40Watt mobiles, but would like to buy 40Watt
-We do not need a lot of options, just simple units.
-We have had a number of brands and models, our favorite mobile was the Radius M100
-Our Portables are mostly HT1000 and P1225
What I have been looking at was
For Mobiles: CM200 CM300 PM400
For portables: CP185, or more used P1225s
Any advise, pros/cons or first hand experience would be very much appreciated.
