Okay, So on the left in the gang charger is 5 Motorola MTS2000's in UHF 450-520 Ham use, then the Motorola XTS2500 in VHF Fire Dept. Use and a scanner, Both my minitor pagers in VHF (Minitor IV, Minitor III) Then a Motorola P1225 in UHF programmed for the local Ham repeaters, then my XTS5000 in 7/800 for my mutual aid authorized portable, Then my President Washington CB Base station, And a Kenwood TK-330 UHF for my Work's Talk channel, And that snake lookin thing on top of the CB is my Radio Strap for my Motorola Portables! Let me know how I can Improve!

Nice to see someone else keeping older Motorola gear in current use. I do something similar, using a VHF Maxtrac as a weather receiver, GR1225 VHF repeater, GR300 desktop UHF repeater for GMRS, some HT1250's for GMRS, and aXTS1500 as a scanner/interop radio (I use an APX4000 for daily use 7/800MHz), and a Cobra 2000 GTL as a CB base station setup. Thank you for sharing, and as for improving,just stay the course, unless you ever need to add P25 Phase II to your lineup.

I Have a Maxtrac in my truck! I also have a APX6000xe in VHF that was on my belt when I took that picture, And I have a APX7000xe in VHF and 7/800 to replace my XTS2500,
In my truck I have the following radio's
Motorola Maxtrac VHF for analog VHF ham
Motorola XTL-5000 VHF Used for my local Public Safety
Motorola XTX-2500 7/800 Used for my common mutual aid Public Safety
Motorola XPR 5550e in UHF for repeater's and DMR
And a Motorola XTVA (Converta-comm) for my XTS5000 in 7/800
And I drive a 2020 Chevy Silverado, With 6 (One reserved for future VHF or 7/800 use) NMO mounts in the roof in a upside down T shape!
I'll hopefully post a Picture of my mobile setup soon!

Considering modifying or changing the light fixture so it doesn't glare in your eyes.

Nice collection. I still own a bunch of Motorola relics myself, they just won't die so I keep them. As for improvements, if it works for you you're good. I however would move the CB and drop an HF rig in it's place.

Those older Motorola's are great! I have the MTS2000's programmed with 16 Ham channels on zone A, And zone B/C are GMRS channels
And I'm contemplating getting an MTS2000 in VHF for a backup analog radio!
That was my plan! I already have a HF antenna hooked up to the CB so it would just be plug and play! Do you know of any good type's of rigs?
