Hey all,

Does anyone know if the Motorola HT750 can do the MODAT sound, like the one the LAPD uses, heres a link to what it sounds like....

thanks guys

Nope, it will not do modat. Look into an Astro Saber for that with the proper flash, or XTS.

thanks 4 the heads up. greatly appreciated.

Only Motorola portables capable of MODAT are as follows:

1. Properly flashed ASTRO Saber
2. Properly flashed XTS 3000
3. Motorola MX series portable with MODAT board
4. MT 500 with MODAT back casing

Possibly a few others... But those are all that come to mind.

The only Motorola portables:)

Vertex, Kenwood, Tait, Icom, Maxon, and Uniden have a few radios that do it with a board from Midian. Noteably the vx-800, vx-920, vx-420 etc

You can buy the board and the radio and spend much less than you would for big M stuff.

I know this is a Motorola board but if you really want that sound there are other options.

Do you have a legit need for MODAT, such as a dispatch setup that requires MODAT, or are you just being a Moto-Sexual?

If it's the later, my advice is don't even bother with MODAT.

I'd probably double check that. Midian and several other sell boards that do MDC 600 / 1200, but I've never seen MODAT option board.

I don't suppose regular sabers can do MODAT out of curiosity? (most likely a stupid question), lol.

Can you Flash a regular saber?

I dont think so!!

They are not FLASHport radios and do not have flashcodes , and MODAT is in the flashcode.

You can do MODAT if you flash your radio into a European GP300 series radio, since these are Select-5 capable (you have to set custom toneset)
but you will lose MDC1200 (do you need it?) and I think that American versions have smaller flash memory chip.

The question I have is WHY?

Who uses MODAT other than people who want to make CB sound effects on the ham band and make repeaters sound like truck drivers with "tricked out" illegal CB's?

It is really childish. why not spend money on something useful like P25 CAI or D-Star...
