CDM 1550 Low band Programming

[HappilyRetired]

I had to transition our PD from Motorola to Kenwood many years ago.

You'd have thought I'd asked some of them to cut off an appendage with a rusty butter knife.
The new radios were blamed for everything.
Now they like Kenwood's and most avoid the old Motorola's.

Brand loyalty is OK, but keeping ones options open is good.

Yeah, I guess it's something like that. We used to beat the snot out of those things! And they just kept working. I've got a XTS3000 for to me and another one for 440 now. Mainly because they fit my hands. That and you drop them and they don't break. It's not like I need to reprogram it all the time.

I'll keep my options open. You guys have been great.

So for my mobile i have a Kenwood 690h that does the lowband split i need. I'm using Sti-Co fender mount antenna for lowband i bought it from Chp. It performs wonderful and looks Oem to my vehicle so i dont have to have this huge lowband whip antenna. Chp uses the fender mount on all their unmarked commander vehicles and whatnot.

"Motorola fans" can be a bit funny sometimes….

I resemble that remark!

I have a hatred for the Waris and CDM series...ugly, shaped strangely, and that weird rubbery squishy volume knob, what were they thinking! I upgraded to a CDM vs Maxtrac hoping for slight improvement in receiver quality...it may have slightly better audio quaility, I will give it that.
