Narrowbanding Signs

[burner50]

My employer has finally started getting serious about collecting the leftover old equipment.

They have been deploying NB equipment since it became an option and a couple years ago started to "flick the switch". They have been deploying NXDN for a few years now too, but it takes time to swap out tens of thousands of radios. Some people at hanging on to their old radios not wanting to turn them in... I saw these posters the other day at work... thought they were pretty funny.

Someone in the Service Center has the funnies in them

I like...- "Radios are ILLEGAL"
Is this the same reason I cant own an XTS5000 with an encryption chip? cause its illegal?

HT-220 and MT-500! Who's still using those on a day to day basis?

Using them for our work would be, so for our purposes, yeah... illegal.

You would be surprised...

You can stll get batteries for them and the railroad sometimes the workers only need 2-3 channels. Probably some of the old timers like em cause they are easy to use.

look at the "illegal" radios, smile , they are 40 yrs old and on a list still trying to get them back! I've got an HT200 about a year ago, not 220s but the 200s , it was just retired because the park was getting rid of it for a new narrowband handie talkie! theres companies still using HT200 and HT220, MT500 right now- they're that tough built with real metal.
narrowbanding is gonna force all these relics into retirement and I hope to get ahold of a few gems

GP300's

Seen the GP300 in the picture.

Check your model numbers before you think yours are unusable.
GP300's were manufactured either wide or narrow, not able to change with programming.
Nine of out ten where I work have been narrow.

There was a Moto document floating around on RR that gave the model numbers to tell the difference.
But I don't have it on this computer.

I have a GP300 w/o keypad.
