A decent radio for publi safety. The knobs are close together and the channel selector moves too easily so channels change by accident on occasion.

Not bad. Great radio when we used to be on the old VHF band. VHF has died out and so have these radios, for LEO's.

Great radio. We use this radio as a primary communication device between firefigters and MFRs. The only drawbacks are the battery life and the RF power.... unless u have a repeater in the area ur not going to communicate in Northeastern Michigan.

This is a great radio! I have had mine for a couple of years and have had not one problem. I use this radio allot and mostly outdoors. When we are on search and rescue missions, the radio has been subjected to dirt, water, snow, and abuse. This radio has seen it all and has never failed me once!

Not the best I've used, but usually the one I carry when my only other choice is the HT-1000.

My agency went to this radio about 6 months ago and I love it. I have yet to have a problem and I use it all the time. A big bonus feature is the alphanumeric display screen.

Love this radio. I use it on the rescue squad im involved with. Numerous channels and great display when ur in the field trying to change channels with heavy or latex gloves on. Takes drops very well and cleans up very nice.

Good radio. Very durable. Lot of features. The only fault I have found is when the battery gets low the reception goes with it.

Great radio that we were just starting to use on Search and Rescue before I went Reserve. It was a radio that we didn't want to issue unless that person really knew how to use a radio. Unless you used it everyday, and knew what all the functions were, it tended to be hard for some to figure out. This caused some issues while out on missions.
But like any Motorola, it is a great radio, that can take the abuse and still work.

This is what our agency uses. They are not too bad, as long as you have more than half a battery or are not in a brick or concrete building. Oh, or surrnounded by trees.

have no real complaints, durable, and good sound, When I'm close to the repeater it works great, but I work for a county so I always have to do the "Statue of Liberty" pose to get a signal where i'm at.

Seems to be a decent radio.... I do however miss my mt2000 though... I would like to see this radio a little longer for larger hands and a better grip while running.

Our department has had bad luck with these radios. Compared to the HT1000, this radio do not received nor transmit nearly as well. These have now become back up and taken from front line service.

I bought one of these used one eBay because my department uses old HT-1000's and refuses to repair or maintain them. I had it programmed at a local radio shop and got a shorty antenna. No more questionable radio transmissions. No more static during foot chases. I bought a couple new batteries, and on a full charge they each last well past a full 12 hour shift. Until the Cleveland area evolves past the stone age, I'll be keeping this radio.
