CP200d new design!

[K2NEC]

So Motorola came out with a new CP200d design because the PTT would constantly break and they were *probably* tired of getting complaints from people. The new design has the PTT stick out a little more which makes it easier to press and it seems they reinforced the spot where the PTT would break constantly. The side programmable buttons are also now oval shaped instead of being round and there is a visible break between the PTT and the programmable buttons. With the company I work with we have broken at least 6 buttons and they were all in the same place. They finally decided to send us new radios that had the fix in the housing.

Picture shows the new vs old design side by side. The new design on the left speaks for itself while the design on the right is the old and you can see that the PTT is very vulnerable to breakage because of the stress of pressing the PTT. About half of our CP200d's have PTT's that look like that which makes it even harder to press the PTT.

I love it. It’s about time they corrected this problem.

I think so too! Now all they have to do is replace all our radios

Hopefully not too easy which would make it a hair trigger.

Nope it still requires a good press to transmit. Just like the CP200d but a tad better to work with and not as fragile.
