Wanted P25 VHF radio

[Mattdecker]

Hello all,

Trying to help a friend of mine look for a radio. We are switching to digital by the end of the year.

He is mainly looking for Kenwood or Motorola.

Radio must come with battery, charger, antenna. Speaker mic is optional.

Radio must have tags as this will be used for fire/ems responses.

Thanks in advance. All help is appreciated.

what do you mean by tags?

what do you mean by tags?

Just the tags on the back of the radio. Nothing like some that come off eBay.

I've seen some that started life as a model 1 xts2500 and end up as a model 3 and the tags and serial numbers don't match and stuff like that.

ohh ok

ohh ok

Yeah. Been seeing a lot on Facebook where some were from Motorola's advanced life testing. So they don't have tags and were pretty much trash radios.

Let me check and see what I have tomorrow. Any specific options he is looking for?

Are you digital as in DMR? Or digital as in P25? There's a big difference.... especially if your going onto a mototrbo system, or nexedge or something of that nature....

Is it going to be a trunking or conventional system?

I'm not sure. I think conventional P25 but I haven't asked.

I tried selling him mine but he didn't like the feel of it. Lol. I appreciate it though.

I actually got a message from him saying he was probably going to wait and see if the Dept swaps his radios out and gives him one that will do it.
