Do you have to “enable” the repeater channels (holding the minus) with every power cycle you want to use them?

What is a cost on this radio! I need!

“A couple of 8500s” 😭😭 *cries in poor*

I got a quote from 49er comms and it’s up there. Do you have an email or something I can contact you to pick your brain? Or on RR or something?

What’s the current price for the earwig device? I believe they are made by Otto for the big M. That was in the catalog back in the 90’s. I am still using my Astro Saber and programming of the Astro is not easy. The CPS for the XTL 5000 is a lot friendlier for programming a radio but you are looking at programming logic from 25 (if not 30) years ago compared to the logic used for the XTL series from the early mid 2000’s.

I wish I could get some OEM Saber batteries from the big M.

I’ve been looking for the BKR9000. But I can’t find it anywhere. I’m a contractor for the USFS so I really only need VHF but having 7/800 for NAS would be nice.

I had an ion and I really wasn’t a huge fan of it. But I have yet to get my hands on a NEXT

How much ?

I trust you have a gov. paper trail from the F C C for $ 35.00 dollars no test required.

So I looked into the Motorola part number and I found that this Bluetooth is NTN2570, and it cost MORE than RLN6544A, which is remote wireless mic and speaker with external battery... That's crazy! Thank you for the review, it's wonderful :-)

The hunny pot phone, it is only in australia not in America, I have seen a lot of people who claimed that it was in America, but it was never allowed in the US, I know this as a fact because I talk to one of the Co-founders who lives in Israel

Are you able to to do MPL with next yet?

Pretty intereted in the headset. could you make a video showing its features and maybe comparing it with different headsets? currently using invisio x5 but still very curious about other similar in-ear systems.

I’m extremely concerned about Apple’s open AI platform software for upcoming products too. The Unplugged option is definitely of interest. Frankly EVERY US CITIZEN should be able to hit one off switch and no more data collection PERIOD. IF the media companies want access to data mine, then pay everyone of us. Just like a song playing, pay me .. and NOT A PENNY PER INTERACTION. PAY ME JUST LIKE THE BIG BOYS ! Real compensation. They can afford it .. JMO . . On another subject, thank you Mr. Prince ! Awesome work ..

Love the motorola saber.

Hmmm

The providers are on there website

as for me I think there dum I bought a radio that has no codes and I am glad I did as none of my friends have them eather as we use G M R S channels only.

What type of radio do you recommend for beginners how much was it to get one? Do you download the software?

What type of radio do you recommend for beginners

I can’t help but notice the accessory flap on the rocky talkie mountain looks VERY badly designed, sticking out at 90 degrees just waiting to catch on everything.

But ain’t that the same for any brand? Yeasu??

really enjoyed the video on the radios, yes Motorola are very expensive

The fact that people pay over 900 for a phone tells me alot..lol..

What radio do you recommend for a paramedic in the public saftey sector

Do you know how many talkgroups you can scan at one time with the BKR 9000? I've looked everywhere but can't find anything. Thanks.

Is this just a skin on android that doesn’t really do much? I want an actual custom os and hardware with security first and kill switches for the mic, camera and most importantly and what this phone does not have: a kill switch on the gps. And the kill switch has to be on the exterior of the phone like apples silent mode switch. 3 separate switches that physically disconnect the wiring even when the phone is on. (This phone claims to disconnect only when the phone is turned off if it even does that). Unless I’m using the camera or sending a vn the switches stay off. When I need to drive somewhere the gps gets connected. When I pull up it’s off. And the phone should have the option in settings to give you a notification to turn it off when you finish certain tasks in case you forget which will happen over time. A software that actually tells you when apps are tracking you even when you clicked dont track and a way to turn the tracking off on the software end is another great addition to privacy hardware.

Unplugged doesn’t operate on Verizon yet right ?

You know I always assumed usss used these but you could see the trump agents were using what looked like apx 6000 or maybe 8000?

This is so cool! The lady & I use a pair of GT-22 when we go shopping and dealing with the headsets in the summer (or in general) is a PITA. I wish those BT devices were within our budget. I came for the radio but stoked to see that BT device. Thanks😊

How much?

I would love to know how much you paid for the BKR9000, I just got a quote from 49er and it seems kinda high.

the problum is the carabener will short the the radio.

ok now your in my ball park first you need a license for G M R S and 5 watts will get you into a repeater which will bust you up to 60 watts out put know you are talking 20 miles

These are a step backwards

Not sure if you noticed the same thing but the to me the screen on the next seemed of poor quality, I wasn't expecting smartphone but it still seems rough for something that expensive.

Wow thats super easy coming from XTS NAS.

Do you mind I send this to some congressmen

This would’ve worked perfect for Secret Service and Butler

I’ll take the APX as the XTS is no longer support just me

The rsm is one of the reasons why I like kenwood. Having the screw located at the stress point is invaluable.

Have you considered doing the bigger channel selector knob that’s on the Mountain Dew colored vp8000?

I think you must be a former secret service agent

How do you afford to get all this stuff ?

Thanks for sharing. My moto rep has been slow to get me some demo units. I honestly don't think the features make much sense for my org, however navigating huge numbers of zones and channels via a screen is pretty nice. Maybe it'd end up being useful as one of our interoperable radios since they can talk to every system in the region and that can be a bit difficult to wrangle as an end user. As expensive as it'd be, it'd also be great as a personal unit for non affiliate scanning.

I was cringing when you went near the top button. Can't imagine that SOS response 😂

Where are you getting the Motorola Radios from? Everywhere I go, it seems like they only sell the retail radios

Still android bro

Thanks for continuing to put out content like this. I have considered a NEXT but I just don't see the appeal versus an APX8000. I have an APX8000HXE for my personal every day carry radio. I just got myself a Motorola LEX11 smartphone and plan to try out the pairing/control/RSM feature with it.
