I'm gonna have to say they might be for the XTS2500/5000 series radios, simply because I haven't seen anything in the RSS/CPS for the XTS3000 regarding them. I have programmed some 2500/5000 radios, but haven't delved that deep into the programming to say whether or not the options exist for that accessory. I haven't programmed any 3500 series, so I can't say about that series. What the heck would you need all that stuff on a speaker/mic for? The radio is only hanging on the belt clip, for pete's sake. As far as where you can get one...since you have a part#, you can get it from just about any MSS or even Motorola direct, assuming it's a legit part#.

From Motorola Online:

XTS Series Commander(TM) Remote Speaker Microphone
The Commander(TM) Remote Speaker Microphone is enhanced with controls normally found only on the radio itself. You can take command of communication with a Push-to-Talk (PTT) Button, Emergency Button, Volume Control, 16-Channel Select Knob and 2 Programmable Buttons. This water resistent Remote Speaker Microphone also features a receive-only 3.5mm earphone jack to allow for discrete conversations. What’s more, the controls are specially designed for users who wear large gloves: the buttons are large, and the channel selector knob provides tactile feedback at each position. Compatible with XTS3000 and XTS3500 two-way radios. Intrinsically Safe (FM) when used with Intrinsically Safe XTS3000 and XTS3500 radios. $147

Wonder what version of the radio host you will need to egt them to work? Probably the same version for the XTVA.

2wayguy,

I checked with UPS and gave them the tracking number and This item is in transit and it will be here on Monday, Also My motorola account shows that this item was shipped on Monday.

When I made the order, I was told that they had 40 Commanders mic's in stock. Maybe they ran out.

I will keep you posted.

I have had mine for several weeks and like it, I can keep the radio in my radio pocket and not worry about the air pack straps interfering with access. It works fine on the XTS-3000 and although their is a section in the RSS for a HHCH I have not looked at it, I just connected it and started using it. The audio quality on mine actually sounds a little better than the radio itself. I bought it directly from Motorola and it was $124.95.

Probably a dumb question, consedering that you already said that it can only fit the XTS series radios, BUT, you guys think there is any possibility that it can fit the MT/MTS series as well, since they both have the same "connecter" ?

Thanks
