Radio differences

Post by David Farr »

Hi guys,

Can anyone tell me what are the differences in the MT, MTS and MTX radios?

Looking to buy two radios, one VHF and one 800 Trunking. Trying to find out what are the better radios to purchase. I see a ton of these on ebay and the prices look pretty good. I currently have a B3 800 that does 16 channels, looking for more channels on the 800 and prefer B5's or B7's for the digital readout.

MT2000= VHF/UHF, conventional only. firmware not upgradeable.
MTX = 800 and 900Mhz, sometimes UHF too, Privacy Plus Trunking non-upgradeable
MTS2000, VHF, UHF, 800Mhz conventional unless flashed for trunking, firmware and flash-code upgradeable via flashport upgrades.
