I AM NOT YOUR TECH SUPPPORT.
Motorola just recently announced the new APX 7000 multi-band, TWO-SIDED portable radio.
Yeah..two sided. The battery inserts at the bottom and lower side of one side. It has a large,
full color LCD display on one side, and a good sized speaker on the other. PTT buttons on both sides,
too. It takes the Saber ergonomic form factor to a double-sided, T-shaped conclusion.
It looks like it'll be REALLY expensive. The model currently offered is 700/800 MHz and VHF in the same
radio, with other bands being available in the future.
I'm sort of impressed, based on the videos on Motorola's site, and the documentation they provide.
But would anyone care to guess how long it'll be before they show up on ebay, and maybe with
serial numbers like ABC123, etc???
I'd also like to know who's been field testing them and who's going to be the first agency that buys them.
