Was thinking about purchasing a UHF and a VHF portable motorola brand for ham radio usage. Was hoping I could get some input as to which portable everyone recommends. I apologize if this is the wrong area for this post.
Which model of the MTS2000 is dual-band (VHF/UHF)? Or did the OP means he's buying two radios?

Was thinking about purchasing a UHF and a VHF portable.Nowhere did the OP state he was looking for a dual band radio. Since the MTS2000 radio is older, it does wide, & narrow band w/o an EID. While the Saber is a great radio, it requires a DOS machine to program. The Astro Saber is a great radio too if the OP wants P25, & also uses a Windows machine like the MTS2000. And again, since Moto no longer sells CPS for the MTS2000, or Astro Saber, it's available for free with Moto's blessings.
Not sure why you specifically want a Motorola. The problem is they are not Ham friendly. You need to buy the 300 dollar CPS software, then special permission key from motorola to allow 25khz and even that part is not easy,
and there are plenty of DMR capable radios for better prices that offer free CPS and programming cable.
