Ditto here Jim. I'll bring the bandages and Isopropyl.

I think it really sucks that you have has suck rotten luck with your local PD. Over here in Monrovia, I have had just the opposite happen where they are GLAD that I have the ability to monitor most everything that happens in/around the area. After I spent a few minutes explaining what/why I do what ...

Multiplier leading the way, all the way!!!!

I'll make sure he does. Bat Team West also has 2 K9's. Hopefully I can figure out how to post pic's and i'll show you a few of us.

Will, It looks like i'll be going afterall, but the Woman wants to go too, so.......it looks like we're gonna make the trip out . There is also the strong possability that her dad is gonna make a appearance there too. I busted up laughing when she told me he wanted to go. I'll get a hold of you on S...

Will,

Have fun!!! I'll be with my g/f over the weekend. I'll be back on Monday sometime. Maybe even in time to listen to the Dog and Pony show.

The convertacom has no set freq. that it will work on. It can work on anything that the saber can do. If you are interested in a Astro Saber MVA, PM me.

If you really want to compair 2 very similar radio's, then look no further than Yaesu. Look at their VX-150 and compair it to their VX-800. Take a good look at it. They have more in common than just the battery. The 150 vs. the 800 is a very good place to start.

hpandcanon- If you are indeed inquireing for recreational scanning, and you are wanting to listen to a IMBE system, then there is no need for any system key, as you are not transmitting on a frequency that you aren't licenced for, no system key is going to be required. If I were you, I would look ba...

The EX 600 IS a capable radio, however, I would not recommend this radio for EMS use. While it is versitile, I believe any Jedi would fill that role just as well, if not better. The Jedi is a prooven radio, just as a Saber. If the size is what you are after, then I would suggest a VISAR. If channel ...

Warm and breezy here in Monrovia. Everyone has been behaveing themselves. All the local kids got new FRS radio's.....I have my XTS that makes that "funny sound". Have a Safe and Merry Christmas everyone!!!!!

Besides the fact that the radio is Motorola, I can see no reason to want that radio. It is not terribly rugged, It has a really screwy way of telling you that the battery is low (it beeps incessantly after just a little bit of transmitting), and it has issues with the keypad board coming loose and b...

The XTS 3000 is just like the 3500 that I own with A few exceptions. Those being that the 3000 has 3 boards inside of it, and the 3500 has but a single one. That makes no difference in the overall operation of the radio for the average user. I also believe that the software used to program it is ver...

Just as with any of the new Motorola HT's, don't drop it. They break easy and are a bit expensive to fix properly.Other than that, I like my XTS just fine. Got a 3500, and I use it every day to yap on a couple of repeaters in my area. Will and Mr. Earnhart can attest to the functionality of it. Justin

Since you have a Truck with a Tow hitch I presume, why not have your antenna on one of those kinda Tow mounts. They are being sold for use on mobile HF, and depending on what you want to do, it might work well for you. Check it out. Best part is that it can be removed without much problem.

Will would be the master of this operation here. I'll get a hold of him sometime today on the air and let him know of your dilemma. Finally, some more hole-drilling!!!!

From all the input I have gathered from various people who have had/have both Motorola and Vertex products, I stand behind the Vertex. I am sold on the durability of the radio as well as the ease of use. I have a XTS 3500, and I have to say that the XTS cannot stand abouse like a Vertex would. I kee...

Vertex/Yaesu is slated to have some at the end of 2003. Icom and Kenwood should have similar to compete within a short time of that.

Simple answer: Yes. As long as it has the MDC flash.

I think most of us agree that Nick is a decent, Honest man and that his radio's are not junk. This topic has been discussed here many, many times in the recent history. I think it is time to give it a rest. Not much more can be said now without re-telling something that has already been told a thous...

Something to consider: EX-600=HT1250 in a VISAR-sized box.
Same kinda size issues with VISAR still apply to the EX's. They work just peechy-keen-neato when they want to.
