Does anybody want to share their experience with the XPR portables?
How do they compare in TX, RX and audio compared to Motorola Analog portables?
Does the XPR in analog mode perform the same to other Motorola analog radios in terms of TX, RX and audio?
This is a first generation radio and just wanted to see how good it was before I upgrade.
Thanks,
Ken

Re: MotoTRBO
There have been a number of posts about the TRBO line here previously,
just so you know. I don't think many, if any, have been reports based
on experience with the radios in the field.

We tested them out for two weeks. I think personally they preformed better then our ht1250's. In analog they sound much clearer. In digital mode they sound a bit "warbly" but still work decently. I'd say range is comparable to the ht1250's, we didn't notice much difference in simplex. Over all we were very pleased with them, but had trouble justifying it to the bean counters.

Re: MotoTRBO
The MotoTRBO portables digitize audio for internal processing, even if it is then converted back to analog for analog transmission. There are two implications of this: a) some vocoder delay and b) a loss of timber in the human voice (which is what makes it sound "tinny"). Go with these portables if you are definitely migrating to a MotoTRBO system; stay with something else if you are not.
