P-25 Hand-held

[Clarky]

Does Motorola offer a low cost UHF (P-25) hand-held, such as the old Radius line?
This would be for a non-trunking system.

I was also wondering if Motorola be coming out with a UHF digital minitor?


Thank you in advance.

As of now, I don't think anyone has heard anything from any manufacturer about producing a minitor style pager that will work well in the digital or P-25 world.

AFAIK, any agency or public safety system that has migrated to digital and/or P-25 has kept one or more narrowband analog VHF or UHF frequencies just for Minitor style paging.

No low cost Motorola's that do P-25 unless you're willing to shop on ebay for used gear. Even then most is not low cost. Look into other manufactors for P-25 conventional to save some cash perhaps. There really isn't much low cost P-25 gear out there new.

A UHF Astro Saber might fit the bill, can be had on eBay for ~$150.

Look at Kenwood, Vertex, and Icom. They all make Uhf P25 gear. Not sure how EFJ or Tait is cost wise compared to the Kenwood, Vertex, and Icom stuff.

The problem with P25 is that Cheap and P25 go together like Oil and Water!!!
