New Motorola Radios

[@retwobmay]

What's the PAT Call used for?

[@mahbuddykeith1124]

What’s the difference between with the frequencies and which ones are right for me? I’ve seen ones that are VHF, 7-800mhz, multi-bands, etc. I want to have some radios for personal use (hunting, preparedness, etc.) but I also work with something called an Emergency Support Service (which works with the local FD) that could really use some radios for setting up reception centres in the event of a disaster.

Obviously you'll be replacing your batteries more often since you're not allowing IMPRES conditioning.

Motorola knocked it out of the park with this radio. Well they usually do lol

[@AlexJarrett-o9b]

These are good radios

[@iwontlagback7236]

The battery conditioning feature should be a setting on the radio IMO. I'm sure the radios can communicate with the chargers so I don't see why it couldn't be a setting in the CPS. Great video.

[@VickyGeagan]

The settings are done through the programming software.

No, there's no way to control reconditioning on IMPRES single-unit chargers. The IMPRES 2 (APX 6000+) SUCs have a switch on the bottom, and multi-unit chargers with a screen and keypad have the option in the menus. The problem is whoever told this department to do this dangerously doesn't know what they're doing. The batteries will try to recondition once per month. If you're on duty and need a quick charge, sure skip it but let it complete when you can or get a spare battery. The risk is if you don't recondition, the battery fuel gauge risks going out of sync as the battery ages, then somebody enters a burning building thinking they have 25% left (2-3 hours), tries to transmit an SOS call, the battery goes dead, and then it leads to a firefighter fatality. Motorola designed it that way for a reason.

How Can I Order A Motorola Walkie-talkie Radio What Is The cost

[@baronedipiemonte3990]

For THAT model (a portable P25) At least $2,500.00 , closer to or over $3k... As far as buying one, most Motorola dealers are going to want to see 1) That you are an authorized member of a public service agency , or , 2) That you have an appropriate FCC radio license. Of course there are dealers who will sell online to anyone who has $. Motorola does make a couple of Analog GMRS & Business license radios, a few Business/Commercial DMR (Digital/Analog) radios. Then there's the P25 (a digital system primarily used by public safety/service agencies e.g. police, fire, feds, etc)

[@johnpush4585]

Nice radio. Smaller and lighter than a 6000.

[@djroyzaofficial5303]

Looks like a APX2000

[@CharlesMack-ez6go]

Yeah i just ordered some

[@Rhcredcampolicek457]

I love that radio because I’m a cop and that radio works pretty good it would probably work with my Motorola radio

[@aronf1590]

This dude is not a cop 😂😂

[@obtrunco]

I was going to say, good looking radio until I saw the droopy looking volume knob.

[@StreetGlideSpec]

That’s for easier access when wearing gloves and the ability to distinguish the two knobs without looking. Came about in the mid 90s with the XTS3000 series. When departments used STX series radios the knobs were spread far apart but it became a big problem with the Motorola Astro Saber radios. The knobs were both straight up and very close together.
