What Motorola Radios Do You Own? (Survey)

[902]

1 Motrac Lo-Band... and a bunch of other sweet stuff...

I want to be like you when I grow up! That may never happen, but I am very impressed!

Sadly the only radio to fail me is my UHF Spectra which is in sick bay waiting to transplant a command board from a working, now functionally obsolete 800 MHz Spectra. I did replace the evil capacitors, but it is stuck with a rude unsquelch noise. Maybe the audio chip has failed, who knows .

It is a shame these fine radios are stricken by an engineers mistake when designing them. Maybe a bean counter slipped the design engineer a salary increase to build in some planned obsolescence like they did the rogue Ever Crumbling Saber Knob designer.

RFI-EMI Guy, I may be able to help get your Spectra going.

RFI-EMI Guy, I may be able to help get your Spectra going.

Thanks. I may need the help. It has been a while since I have programmed one.

I didn't mention Syntor-X 9000 because I have that.
Was mostly mentioning what I don't have.
I use the low band X9000 pretty much every day.
And I have several other X 9000's that don't get used.
Same with Spectra's. Just took the 900 mhz Spectra out of my car to make room for the XTL5000.
But probably have a dozen Spectra's.
Still have some MCX-1000's, and lots from that line.
Really, I have most of the stuff from about 1970 to mid 2000's.
WAY too much stuff.
And I agree, it is fun and sometimes frustrating to make this stuff do things Motorola didn't want it to do.

APX6000 7/800 and currently XTL2500 7/800 - but its on the chopping block.

And a bunch of newer junk...

Newwer junk (xts, etc) is fine, just no cheepy FRS radios

Ha! Thanks!

It's an artificial boxwood covering. Just had an idea one day and bought a few carloads of the stuff.

I wish I had one to deal with these simulcast issues
