That price is a little salty for a Govt' surplus piece. I bet the current high bidder is a shill. Just a guess.

W-3 Head

Post by Microwave Mike »

That control head looks like a W-3, but there is a different micro inside.
It is ONLY used for XTVAs.
You got to be NUTS to pay that much for a XTVA inside a case.

Used one of these things at work. Had to say it sucked when compared to the other system we were testing.

The link to the radio we are using now is no longer active. It was the FDNY post radio. 40w mobile in a case done up very nice and simple. Nothing to hook up, turn it on and start talking.

The Motorola case has too much to setup and play with and if you have to move once setup what a pia.
