Motorola Introduces Multi-Band Radios
Wednesday, August 6 2008
Motorola has used this year's APCO conference in Kansas City (Mo.) to introduce their first multi-band radio product, the APX 7000, which also includes a new form factor, text messages, dual speakers and audio, two information screens, and a unique double-sided design. The radio can operate on 700 MHz, 800 MHz and VHF bands, tying together law enforcement agencies on new systems, and fire departments on older systems. The company has posted a ton of information about the new radios on its Web site, including text and videos. Check their latest offering here:

No problem, they were spread out among the announcement and motorola forums, think one was in a state forum as well.

Had to laugh at the video demonstration of the undercover cop in the subway station who was being extremely obvious standing there holding the radio out in his hand...

Yeah I noticed that too! I suppose he's got nowhere to put it now the belt clip has been eliminated from the design!
