I just ordered a Moto 7750E off ebay pretty respectable price so there is deals for moto. However I do plan on keeping my PD782 at least for now because it works. As for someone who brought up gov. using hytera idk any in the USA but Canadian border guards use them as every week I see the PD782 on their vests...
As for the global markets & political talk, this is one China company doing all this, just remember there is 1000s more in different fields trying to muscle out NA companies. As a Canadian I say buy local and USA or Cad made products, even if it costs 20 bucks more.
As I write this I just got an email that denied me a moto account to program my new radio... thanks moto, making it hard to like you...
