--Hi, all. I am thinking about getting a new Moto radio for 2 meter FM, and I was wondering which one of these radios stays cooler during transmission, the 110 watt Spectra or the 110 watt Maratrac? Looking at the heatsinks, I would say the Spectra looks as if it would do a better job of keeping its ...

Thanks for all the help, guys. The other day, I purchased a Motorola M1225 from JonboyOK, a fellow member of this board, and I am happy with the deal. I would feel comfortable purchasing another radio from him if I needed to. Anyway, I have told two of my friends about the GMRS band, and they (like ...

Thanks for the help. Well, this front panel must be stuck on good, because I put a flat head screwdriver on the tab underneath the radio, to make sure it stayed unlatched, then I pulled towards me as hard as I could on the front panel...I even put on the mounting bracket "bolts", or whatever they ...

Hi, all. Well, I got my keypad buttons in today for the M1225, but I am having trouble taking the front panel off of the radio (got that in today as well).

Hi, all. I am in the market for a good solid GMRS radio that is able to be programmed for both high and low power using one of the front panel pushbuttons (I would like to have a high/low power choice so I am not running "full throttle" all the time). Here recently, I ordered a Motorola M1225 which ...

Hi, Al. For some reason, when I checked my "View Messages" in the Control Panel, it says my private message to you is still in the "outbox" and is not yet sent, however I had clicked "submit" (it has not shown up in the "sent" section). Don't know what's up there. Anyway, please get in touch with me ...

Hi, all. First time poster here. I did a search but nothing came up...maybe I didn't put in the right search term. What I am looking for are some replacement buttons (up and down, A, B, C, and that "Z" shaped arrow) for my M1225. The radio works just fine, it's just that the buttons have yellowed a ...
