APCO roll call

[MTS2000des]

Who else is going to brave the streets of Baltimore and attend APCO 2025? I'm packing my APX NEXT but sadly, no firearms allowed.

Mugger: "Give me all your money"
You: "Here take this radio, trust me its worth more according to Motorola"

Can we please try to stay on topic?

Not sure at this point. APCO is the only trade show my employer is allowing that is radio related, since IWCE allows anyone in nowadays. However, my employer also does not see a benefit from becoming a member, even having three dozen fire departments across the country, and often sending a dozen or more people to APCO each year.....we go on an individual basis, and never know until the last minute (which means expensive airfare and hotel rates as well).

From my perspective, the cost of sending someone to APCO could be used to purchase a radio or two instead (use mostly APX8000XE's). Being a private corporation, means no grant money.

Enjoy. Always nice to see the wares on display before you buy.

Not this year. I've been approved for next year in San Antonio (again…). I'll be packing a cell phone.

Seems like I was just in Baltimore a few years ago, but I checked and it was 2006. Enjoyed it.
Now, it seems like every time I get sent somewhere for work, it's either Phoenix or San Antonio. I think I've been to SA now about 5 times in the last 7-8 years.

Always happy to buy the first round.

I’m headed up Saturday. First time attending APCO. Might hit IWCE this fiscal year as well.

You'll see all the big radio players here. APCO doesn't allow any Chinese spy turds in the way IWCE does, which has become infested with ratware so why bother.
APCO is where it's at. Went for the firs time in Nashville 2023 and had a blast. Baltimore...ought to be interesting.

Let’s see what Motorola releases next. Maybe the APX Next-Next ? Having tripple screens. Large touch screen on the front and back and small screen on top.

All kidding aside after having Nexts around for awhile now ( with a mix of 8000’s ) I always pick up the 8000 and the new guys always go for the Nexts.

Have fun those of you guys that are going to APCO this year
