Batboard

Doing a trade in the last few days with another fellow labber.
Trade involved some radios called STX.
NOW, here is the question, There were multiple of the
hand held radio involved, soooo............

Is the plural of STX, just STX, stxs, stx's, stixes, stxices,
stxisces, stices, sticises, or maybe just STI or STY !!!!!

Ok guys this is just for a bit of fun. Phrawg

I would vote for the STX's.

Multiples, huh? Just call them WBRs (Whole Bunch of Radios)!

STXes.

STX. (Like fish.)

wheel chockSTX.

SG

A guy from Bearcom called them "sticks," as in "those old STiX."

STX "sticks" is correct for a single unit.
I generally use S-T-X-s for plural STX.

SG - no fair making fun of the STX. One of the best radios Motorola ever made!

STXs. Plural, not possesive.

Wouldn't a bunch of sticks be called "brush"?

L.E.

STIX are what we used years ago...or Sticks..depending on wether or not the person was familiar with oddball terms.

But the proper format would be STXs.

I like STIXes though...HA HA!

I don't know how things are in your neck of the woods, but the local outlet here lost some of their best installing talent to LE/public safety careers.

The traditional English word for a bunch of sticks is 'f aggot'.

SToX....??????

I would just say a bunch of STX radios.

But otherwise STXes

I like the idea that a bunch of STiX would be called ''brush''.

we still use some STX at the Drug Unit

and those guys use this

one= big talkie
plural= big talkies

or If I was smart enuff to do a smaller number pushed up to right of X
Id do it like STX to the third power or fourth power (you know what Im trying to say)

Who the hell cares?? One of the most intermittant radios in the moto junk list!
Remember the mostar?

You're joking, right? STXs are the Sabers of 800MHz, in terms of indestructability.

They did have various issues over the years like tiny audio or loud whine at max volume levels from vibration on older models.

Ya same thing is going on here . . . well on just a few of teh tec.'s at least. They are all great guys and go out of their way to solve a problem. I beleive one of them is a memeber here on this board.

Yeah,

but you sure could smack the :o out of someone with one of them a'la the MX-350 and not worry about a handful of parts.....

Never did care for the two foot pigsticker antenna, though.
