Saw my 1st bluetooth-branded item today - a wireless speaker mike for an HT1250. Not sure if I like it yet - seems to me that we'll be replacing a lot of the heads due to loss. I've had to 'reel in' my mike after it popped off the epaulette countless times. Any experience out there to share? Thanks.

I have also reeled it in, but i also HATE having the big coiled cord hanging around! Do you have any pics? Id love to see it!

Motorola Accessories with Bluetooth™ Wireless Technology
Communicate without wires! Bluetooth™ technology allows for greater freedom and simplicity in connecting devices.

Motorola introduces a wireless remote speaker microphone - the first wireless accessory for use with two-way radios. Perfect for manufacturing, construction, utility and retail environments, the Remote Speaker Microphone with Bluetooth™ Technology eliminates the cord, while still providing the same features and functionality as a standard 'wired' speaker microphone. Talk and listen without removing the radio from the belt, case or charger. The Remote Speaker Microphone with Bluetooth™ Technology features a PTT switch, back cover clip and 3.5mm earphone jack.

The remote speaker microphone communicates to the radio through a Radio Adapter with Bluetooth™ Wireless Technology and an adapter capable NiMh Battery, which both attach to the back of the radio. The speaker microphone is compatible with the HT750 and HT1250 radios.

I want one!!!!!

Hello.

Bluetooth is very short range, but, what happens if someone has "lost" the speaker-mic, does the other half also need to be replaced?.
What would happen if 2 units are in close quarters?.
Bluetooth sounds great, however, I am not so sure it will not run into problems.
Remember the tiny wireless earpiece kit motorola has, the secret service had them a few years ago, they work by inductive coupling, so, several years ago I built a long range monitor, this was nothing more than a lot of wire wrapped around the inside of briefcase, 3 stage amplifier, and earpiece.
With this, I could listen to the federal agents running around in front of the Alamo whenever VIPs were there, they went to the wired thing and I have not been able to listen this way since.

Thank You.

No, you would not have to buy a new radio if you lost only the headset. When you set up a Bluetooth device for the first time, the headset is "paired" with the radio so that the headset only sees that radio.
Bluetooth operates at 2.4 Ghz and is digital, so you would not be able to monitor the Bluetooth link.

Do u know if "M" makes one for the mobile radio? I could use one on a mobile.

I had one on trial for a week. the Microphone is battery operated by (IF my memory still works) 2 or 3 aa batteries.
the Only problem I have is you need a NEW carry case since the Blue-tooth battery is a special one. It worked well. I was able to walk approx 20 ft from my radio and still utilize the speaker mic. I would still stay with the normal speaker mic.
Best of luck
