I’m finally back into the Motorola radios again after being away for 12 years. I loved this when I was a tech back in the day working on the equipment, setting it up and configuring it for our customers.
I recently started a position as a field Engineer and am amazed on how far the technology has come. I have much to get up to speed on with the MOTOTRBO and the awesome configurations/options.
I’ve notices the same issue we fought with back in 2000 and the shop today is still fighting with it.
We still manage legacy systems and I was disappointed when the shop has at least 7 laptops that have to be used for specific radios. This was the same fire we fought back in 2000:
“This laptop will only work with this radio, but if you have this series, you’ll need to use this laptop and is this laptop over here ever goes down, we don’t know what we are going to do”.
It’s the same today.
Can I get some suggestions, links and what other people have tried to overcome this issue?
My adventures away from the two-way radio business were heavily involved in GPS and electronic design (primarily on interfacing RS232, USB, CAN drivers).
I’m convinced by now there are some very good links and suggestions on how to better manage this issue.
I’m very excited to be here and to research as much as I can. Thanks in advance for all the help, suggestions and links from the vast experience here in this forum.
