So, I am in the market for a new portable and wanted to see if people have used the Motorola SL3500e in the public safety field and how it held up. Specifically I would be buying the VHF model and do not know if it would be enough to reach the repeaters in my area (North East PA a lot of mountains in my area) with only 3 watts instead of 5. If anyone has input it would be greatly appreciated.

Not made for public safety use. Get a used XTS-5000, about the same price on the used market and has withstood the test of time.
