I know Minitor II came in a black/gray case. I also know of a red and white case for them as well. Does anyone have any information on the white case? How many were made and do you know where you can acquire them at? I can find a red case, but I need a white one to add to my "collection"

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

Order of the Golden Dino since 1972
Originally, the red and white case options were ordered from Motorola when you purchase the pager. The older M03 monitors were available in black and red, and Motorola just expanded the color offerings to appeal to fire and ems as they transitioned from desktop alert monitors to tone and voice monitoring pagers. The reason for the colors was to appeal directly to the fire and ems markets. The the I's and the II's were available in dark gray, red, and white.
I remember buying 35 of the white Minitor I's for the ambulance squad I belonged to in the '70's and '80's. As the I's aged out, we replaced them with white Mintor II's. If I recall correctly, the color choice was a no charge option as part of the pager purchase, at least with the II's.
I don't think anyone has any sales figures on the different color cases for the II's. But I can tell you that they were darned popular. I still have a small pile of VHF II's in a box somewhere. They're not in particularly good shape. I will look when I go over to the ambulance building in the morning and see if any of them are good enough to fill out your collection.
Thank you for your reply and time! that would be extremely helpful and appreciated! I ordered a red case tonight so it should be here sometime this week, lookimg forward to your reply!
I would suggest checking with United Communications. They have been re-casing Minitor 2 units for awhile, and might have what you're looking for.
